Jumilla
Murcia's Monastrell appellation. Jumilla makes reds of extraordinary power and concentration at unbeatable prices.
Jumilla is one of the best-value appellations in Spain, and perhaps in Europe. Monastrell, the quintessential Mediterranean grape, reaches extraordinary ripeness and concentration here thanks to the semi-arid climate and old ungrafted vines on their own roots (phylloxera never reached many of its sandy soils). The best Jumilla Monastrells surprise with their depth and complexity.
