The first tasting cycle organized from the Dum Jumilla Facebook channel, "VinosJumilla", which took place in March, has left a very good taste in the mouth of the Dop Jumilla, with more than 500 people attending live to the explanations of the personalities of the world of the sommelier and enology, and more than 20,000 scopes in these publications.
As previously announced, the tastings will take place every Friday for the duration of the quarantine that forces all Spaniards to stay at their homes, and therefore, during Easter, this Friday, the 10th, the sommelier and president of the association of Sommeliers from Albacete, Álvaro de Miguel will offer tasting explanations from his home about three aging wines from this PDO, which were protagonists in the past DOP Jumilla Wine Quality Contest, obtaining a gold and silver medal.
After the first fortnight of April, the tastings will show a selection of wines from all the wineries that make up the Jumilla PDO that so wish.
Next Friday, April 17, it will be the turn of Francisco Abellán, a Jumillano resident in Madrid, where he manages and directs Casa Patas, the tavern-restaurant and tablao flamenco considered a reference point in the World of Flamenco.
Abellán is a well-known and expert in the world of wine tasting, a member of the Spanish Union of Wine Tasters, he participates in prestigious competitions, from the Bacchus Competition to the DOP Jumilla Wine Quality Contest itself.
In this tasting, a tour will be made through four wines in different elaborations (rosé white red resting in concrete and red with a slight passage through the barrel), all of them from different wineries, and with ecological certification.
The Jumilla PDO is a pioneer in organic farming, with more than 90% of the crop.
The limestone and stony soils and the mountains that surround this PDO are key to a microclimate that, being very dry and very windy, keeps the vines healthy, thus, it is not necessary to use pesticides or other phytosanitary products.
Currently, practically all the wineries of the DOP Jumilla have some certified wine with the ecological seal, an important fact that identifies the DOP Jumilla.
The following week, on Friday, April 24, the participation of Pedro Martínez, the sommelier and businessman from Murcia, Nariz de Oro 2001, and habitual taster of the DOP Jumilla Wine Quality Contest, as well as a regular collaborator of this DOP, will be outlined.
The tasting will be broadcast live on the DOP Jumilla Wine channel on Facebook (@VinosJumilla), and will be available later on this same social network.
People who are following it live will be able to ask questions that the sommeliers will also clarify in a rigorous live broadcast.
