It is one of Spain's oldest wine regions, but for most of the 20th century it made bulk wine. When phylloxera finally reached Jumilla in the late 1980s, growers replanted and producers began bottling their own wine. Today Jumilla is known for high-quality Monastrell at excellent prices, and its best estates rank among the most exciting in Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"monastrell\"\u003eMonastrell: Jumilla's Signature Grape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonastrell is the Spanish name for the grape the French call Mourvèdre, a key part of Bandol and southern Rhône blends. It loves heat and drought, and in Jumilla it covers the large majority of the vineyards, much of it as old, low-yielding bush vines. Monastrell gives deep color, ripe blackberry and plum, savory herbs, pepper and firm tannins. Producers also grow Garnacha, Garnacha Tintorera and Syrah, often for blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"taste\"\u003eWhat Does Jumilla Wine Taste Like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJumilla reds are dry and full-bodied, with ripe black fruit, rosemary and thyme from the surrounding scrubland (garrigue), black pepper and a hint of leather.

This wine took them longer to make; it's all from ungrafted vines (from before the 1970s) with a field blend, mostly Monastrell (90%) but also varieties from Manchuela, Moravia Agria, Bobal, Pardilla (Marisancho) and the rest of the Mediterranean, Forcallat, Bonicaire... from massal selections on different limestone soils (rambla, marl—gray and green, sand, glacis...) with north- and west-facing expositions. They used 10% full clusters at the top, fermenting at high temperature, pressed (no maceration) and matured in a 5,000-liter oak foudre and some large barriques for one year. They only added a little sulfur at bottling time. All the reds have something from the Northern Rhône and something reminiscent of Barolo in the texture. They believe Monastrell cannot be picked too early and cannot be picked too late, which means the wines are ripe, all with 14% alcohol (or higher), but they keep superb freshness and balance. This sets the tone for the profile of the reds from 2021, with red fruit, Mediterranean herbs and a medium-bodied palate with silky tannins and a chalky mouthfeel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"FWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45334040903934,"sku":"FWC496","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/5837\/files\/BodegasCerronStratumWinesMatasAltas_Jumilla_Spain2021.png?v=1716305311"},{"product_id":"bodegas-juan-gil-18-meses-blue-label-monastrell-jumilla-spain-2023","title":"2023 | Juan Gil 18 Meses Blue Label Monastrell | Jumilla","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003eStyle ,complex, toasty, jammy, great length.
