ABOUT THIS WINE
Castillo de Jumilla Rosé Bodegas Bleda is a rosé wine from the Jumilla Denominación de Origen (DO) in Murcia, Spain. It is produced by Bodegas Bleda, a winery founded in 1915 and currently managed by the fourth generation of the Bleda family. The wine is primarily made from the Monastrell grape, which thrives in Jumilla's arid climate and chalky soils at an altitude of 650 meters. The winery's approach combines traditional winemaking with modern technology. The name 'Castillo de Jumilla' references a local landmark, and the brand has a history of recognition, with an earlier wine winning a Gold Medal at the Barcelona Universal Exposition in 1929.
