Jumilla is a wine region of Murcia, Spain.
The signature grape is Monastrell, backed by Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Airen and Macabeo, plus one more.
The climate is continental, running arid and notable rainfall.
The vineyards themselves read as elevated, plains and valley floor.
Red wine, rosé wine and white wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows lively and fresh, bursting with berry fruit, crisp and aromatic and showcasing floral notes and citrus.
Quality is codified by the Denominación de Origen and the DO Jumilla, which is worth reading off the label.
Producers worth knowing include Bodegas Ego, Bodegas El Nido, Bodegas Juan Gil and Casa Castillo.
