About the Jumilla Protected Designation of Origin
In the Jumilla PDO five kinds of wine are made: red, pink, white, sweet and liquor wines, and premium production of native varieties.
The Monastrell grape is the base of 70% of the wines produced in this Protected Designation of Origin.
The production area is defined on the one hand by the southeast end of the province of Albacete, which includes the municipalities of Montealegre del Castillo, Fuente Álamo, Ontur, Hellín, Albatana and Tobarra;
on the other, the north of the province of Murcia, with the municipality of Jumilla.
An area characterized by large valleys furrowed by mountain ranges of up to 1,380 m.
A total of 19,000 hectares of vineyards, mostly rainfed, in glass, located on predominantly limestone soils, at altitudes that vary between 320 and 900 meters.
The climate of this area is continental with influence of the Mediterranean.
The low rainfall that barely reaches 300 mm per year and more than 3,000 hours of sunshine, lead to the low incidence of pests and diseases, which allows a high percentage of organic farming.
