    How are the red wines of D.O. Jumilla?

Jumilla, the Monastrell variety, is usually the main grape used in red wines, which is why its adequate phenolic maturity is sought. The grapes are detached from the clusters and separated from the peduncles (stems) through a process called destemming. The grapes can then be gently crushed to release the must and break the skin of the grapes, allowing for better extraction of the desired components. The resulting must undergo an alcoholic fermentation process, where the sugars present in the must are converted into alcohol under the action of yeast. Inside. Jumilla, fermentation is usually carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromas and structure of the wines. During this process, pumpovers (extraction of the liquid from the bottom of the tank to water it above) and punching (breaking the cap of skins and pulps that float on the surface) are carried out. After fermentation, maceration takes place, where the solids (skin, pulp, seeds) remain in contact with the liquid (must or wine) for a certain period. This helps extract colour, tannins, and aromas from the grape skins, contributing to the structure and complexity of the wine.

Presses are used to extract the remaining liquid, known as press wine, which can be added to the wine resulting from fermentation and maceration. Some red wines from the D.O. Jumilla can go through a period of aging in oak barrels, where they acquire additional aromas and flavors from the wood.

Once the wine has reached its desired profile, it is bottled and closed with a cork or screw cap, ready to be marketed and enjoyed.
