GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

WHITES
In general, Jumilla whites are straw yellow in color, have a moderate fruity character, and a certain body in the mouth; they are also balanced and tasty. In some cases, winemakers resort to Muscatel to give greater expression and strength to their wines.
ROSÉ
They usually have a pinkish-salmon color; on the nose they are quite fruity and of good aromatic intensity; on the palate they are tasty, some with a little more body and slightly warm.
RED WINE
This is the wine par excellence of the area, based on a variety, Monastrell, which, subject to new elaborations, gives wines of great color, intense, with characteristic aromas of ripe black fruits and, sometimes, raisined fruit; in the mouth the best are very powerful, with excellent tannic structure, tasty and fleshy. The crianzas combine this fruity character with the contributions of the wood, and in the case of older wines, although oxidative notes may still appear, the evolutionary tendency of the variety is increasingly controlled.
