Han llegado a registrarse cifras históricas en cuanto a muestras presentadas por parte de una treintena de bodegas, que, a lo largo de dos jornadas de cata son sometidas a examen por un panel de 12 catadores expertos.El principal objetivo de este Certamen es destacar las elaboraciones de calidad de la DOP Jumilla y sumar protagonismo de la auténtica reina de este territorio, la Monastrell, y el cultivo ecológico, que en la DOP Jumilla supone prácticamente el total de la producción, por lo que una de las novedades de esta 26 edición es la Mención Especial destinada al Mejor Vino Ecológico, con la que se busca reforzar la importante producción de vinos ecológicos de la DOP Jumilla.

Así, se entregará una mención especial, al vino ecológico mejor puntuado del Certamen, mientras se mantienen las dos menciones especiales a los vinos Monastrell, elaborados con y sin contacto con madera, añadas 2018 y 2019.
