| Jumilla's wines
have been revealing new potential
since the early 1990s. A late
phylloxera attack in 1989 led to a
fresh start: the vineyards were
replanted to produce lighter but
still fruity red, white and rosé
wines made from native grape
varieties, particularly native
Monastrell, as well as imported
Syrah and Merlot. At the same time,
careful harvesting and investment in
new equipment has improved wine
quality. The result is a new
generation of elegant wines in which
the Monastrell grape is showing
remarkable results in the hands of
skilled winemakers. Jumilla’s sandy
soils allow for ungrafted vines, and
Monastrell thrives in this hot, arid
region. Though the yields here are
generally low, the region still
offers some of the greatest values
to be found in Spain. |
