On a variety of high-altitude hillsides, Juan and Carlos Cerdán are making wine from 65 hectares of organically and biodynamically-farmed vineyards in the Denominación de Origen of Jumilla. Some of the vines reach 140 years of age, and about 40 hectares are planted “pie franco”, meaning that the vines grow on their own roots as opposed to being grafted onto American rootstocks.
Across the range, the wines are dynamic and energetic, boasting stark minerality, crystalline tannins and inimitable mid-palate tension. They’re focussed expressions of their respective vineyard sites, admirable manifestations of the Mediterranean climate, and the most elegant iterations of Monastrell that we’ve ever tasted. Everything is hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented and bottled without fining and filtering — the only addition is a small amount of sulfur added prior to bottling.
