{"title":"Jumilla","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in southeastern Spain, the Jumilla wine region spans parts of the Region of Murcia and the province of Albacete in Castilla-La Mancha. It is a historic wine-producing region, with a winemaking tradition that stretches back more than 2,000 years. Viticulture was practiced here by the ancient Iberians and later developed under Roman rule. The Denominación de Origen Jumilla (DO Jumilla) was officially established in 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJumilla’s vineyards are shaped by high elevation, poor stony soils, intense sunshine, and a hot, dry climate. These conditions are particularly well suited to Monastrell, the region’s signature grape. Monastrell is a Spanish grape variety that originated in this part of southeastern Spain, deeply rooted in the region’s Mediterranean winemaking tradition. It is known as Mourvèdre in France, but its origins are firmly Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Middle Ages, monasteries became important centers for the preservation and development of viticulture. The name Monastrell is believed to derive from the Latin monasteriellu, meaning “little monastery,” a reminder of the grape’s long connection with the monastic tradition and the spread of winemaking across southeastern Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonastrell produces structured, full-bodied wines with ripe dark fruit, spice, Mediterranean herbs, and earthy notes. The combination of altitude and cool nights helps preserve freshness and acidity, bringing balance to the wines. The region’s old bush vines and low yields can add further concentration and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside Monastrell, Jumilla is home to other Spanish native varieties, including Garnacha, Airén, and Macabeo, which contribute to the region’s diverse range of red, rosé, white, and sweet wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Jumilla combines old vineyards, traditional bush vines, and modern winemaking, making it one of Spain’s most distinctive regions for structured, characterful wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"casa-castillo-las-gravas-2021-jumilla","title":"Casa Castillo Las Gravas 2021, Jumilla","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSierra de Molar · since 1941 · planted in 2006\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJose María Vicente’s grand opus to the terroir of Las Gravas.  Broad and robust, full of tension and vitality, stony and herbal with uncanny depth.  Velvet ecstasy floating on Mediterranean breezes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD.O.
