2023 Bodega Cerron, Matas Altas, Jumilla

Organic for over 35 years and biodynamic for the last 10, the trio of siblings Juan, Carlos and Lucia Cerron are the fifth generation of their family to make wine on Jumilla’s 870-980 meter high desert moonscape plateau of thin sand and clay soils on limestone. Extracting small yields from dry farmed Monastrell plantings, they hand harvest before fermenting spontaneously in large old oak, concrete and terracotta, aging the wine from 20 to 22 months prior to release.
