ABOUT THIS WINE
Parajes del Valle is a red wine crafted by Parajes Del Valle Bodegas Y Viñedos S.L., located in the sun-drenched region of Jumilla, Murcia, in southeast Spain. This 2024 vintage is a pure expression of 100% Monastrell, the region's flagship grape, known elsewhere as Mourvèdre. The producer is dedicated to showcasing the unique characteristics of their varietals and the traditional winemaking style of Jumilla. The vineyards are a testament to low-intervention viticulture, featuring organic, ungrafted, and dry-farmed vines grown on terraces and slopes with a distinctive mix of reddish-clay and limestone soils. This challenging, harsh climate naturally leads to lower yields and concentrated fruit, contributing to the wine's distinctive character and depth.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking philosophy at Parajes del Valle centers on "traditional elaboration" methods, aiming to respect and highlight the typicity of the Monastrell varietal. The journey begins in certified organic vineyards, where ungrafted, dry-farmed Monastrell vines thrive in Jumilla's arid climate and unique reddish-clay and limestone soils. This viticultural approach, characterized by minimal intervention, ensures the grapes express their purest form. While specific details for the 2024 vintage's fermentation and aging are not yet available, the producer's overarching goal is to create high-quality wines that authentically represent the grape and the Jumilla terroir, suggesting a focus on clean, varietal-driven winemaking.
