This wine comes from the Jumilla DO; it is a transition zone between the Mediterranean coastal area and the central plateau of Castilla-la Mancha so the altitude of the vineyards vary between 400 and 800 m. It experiences hot days and cool nights and is still somewhat tempered by the closeness to the Mediterranean. The soils here generally permeable and retail moisture well so the vines can survive long periods drought. They are poor in organic material and very sandy so their structure does not favour the propagation of phylloxera. Viña Elena is a bodega from Jumilla located in the north of Murcia. This family-run bodega dates back to 1948 when Francisco, the current generation’s late-grandfather, began to make wine from his modest winepress at the family estate.
Tasting Notes
Expressive nose of trees in blossom, black fruit (cherry), hay and a touch of bread dough. Medium acidity, well integrated alcohol balance, smooth tannins, black fruit, with wet stone notes and a long persistent fishish.
Method
The vines used to make this wine are planted on both sides of the valley: those in the east are subject to more shade and give the wine freshness, minerality and elegance, while those in the west receive more sunlight that gives the wine the characteristic maturity and warmth. These goblet-pruned vines, which are planted using traditional distances of 2.8 x 2.8m in permeable, stony soils, capture and retain precious moisture from the region’s scant rainfall by bedding their roots deep into the fathomless soils in order
to survive periods of extreme drought. 100% Monastrell grapes hand harvested and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel with native yeasts and minimum sulphur use. The wine rests for 8 months in non epoxy cement tanks and is bottled without fining.
