Jumilla is a striking example of a wine region that has undergone a remarkable transformation—from producing bulk wines to earning recognition as one of Spain’s leading winemaking areas. At the heart of this evolution is Casa Castillo, a pioneering estate that has played a vital role in Jumilla’s qualitative leap since the 1990s. Their 2022 Monastrell, a certified organic wine, is a superb introduction to the Mediterranean character of the region and its signature grape variety. Aged for 8 to 10 months in large 5,000-litre foudres and smaller 500-litre vessels, this wine reflects the balance, purity, and depth that define modern Jumilla.
