Parajes del Valle
The winery was founded in the 80s and belongs to the García Pérez family.
The driving force behind the winery is the production of excellent organic wines. The philosophy of the family is that respect for the earth and nature guarantees the best future for all of us. The wines are not only organic, but also fairly priced. Maintaining such a status for many years comes at the expense of protecting and supporting not only the vineyards, but also the environment in the entire region.
The Garcia Perez family bought the winery in 2017. Since that time, many times more funds have been invested in the development of the economy. All funds went to restore and preserve the old vines of Monastrel.
The entire Garcia Perez family is involved in the process of wine production and distribution. Such an approach in work creates a solid foundation, which is of great importance for world winemaking.
Wine region
Jumilla –DO in the Murcia region in southeastern Spain. Jumilla DO - Founded in 1966, it is the oldest DO in the province of Murcia.
The small wine-growing area of Humilla, located between Yecla in the north and Bullas in the south, is considered the largest in Murcia. It leads in quality and quantity of produced wines.
The landscape of Humilla is characterized by wide valleys and plains, dissected by mountain ranges (Spanish serrania) that run through Murcia between the sea and the Spanish Interior Plateau (Meseta Central)
The climate in Khumilya is arid continental, with minimal precipitation. On the eastern outskirts of the region, it becomes Mediterranean.
Jumilla DO is an area with low rainfall. This must mean that it is one of the most unfavorable places for viticulture.
However, there are two factors that help combat drought and high temperatures. In Khumilya, the soil is rich in lime, which perfectly absorbs and retains moisture. The vineyards themselves are located in the central part of the region, at an altitude of 400-800 m above sea level. sea. This significantly lowers the average air temperature and saves the vines from overheating.
The soil here is stony, poor, infertile, with a predominance of loose limestone, which allows survival in periods of prolonged drought.
Humilia soils are also characterized by good aeration, high pH and low salinity.
The region specializes in wines from the Monastrell variety, of which almost 80% are planted.
Monastrell is well-suited to the harsh local conditions and produces lively wines with a wide flavor palette: bright fruit, with earthy and mineral nuances when young, developing with age into ripe fruit, coffee and spice.
Monastrérel (also known as Mourvedre) is an ancient grape variety native to the western part of the Mediterranean.
The variety first appeared on the outskirts of the city of Murviedro (Murviedro) near Valencia.
Due to its powerful character, the Mourvedre variety received the French nickname "wolfdog" (etrangle-chien).
Monastrell prefers a dry, warm climate. Its berries are small and thick-skinned. Such a structure makes it possible to create wines of a deep dark color with a significant content of tannins.
Vineyards planted with low individual bushes (gobls) are the best formation for the Monastrell vine.
Traditional low bushes provide good protection - green shoots cover the clusters from above like an umbrella. This protects the berries from sunburn.
The yield of the vine is very limited, so the grape juice is concentrated, with a high content of mineral and organic substances. This makes the wort high-quality, and the wine subsequently bright, rich and rich in both taste and aroma.
