Remordimiento

It has been a long time coming, but finally, the change towards wines of terroir and elegance has reached Jumilla! Bodega Cerrón is a winery located in the town of Fuente-Álamo, in the province of Albacete (DO Jumilla). Currently run by two brothers, Juan José and Carlos, who continue the work started by their great-grandfather Francisco Cerdán in 1895. The multitude of small parcels they farm biodynamically are planted with free-standing, old bush vines of Monastrell, often accompanied by other local varieties: Forcallat, Rojal, Blanquilla, Moravia Agria, and Airén. Since 2011, they have had a particular interest in saving and recovering old, ungrafted (pie franco) vines, grown at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level—an additional project which culminated in the creation of a terroir-driven range called Stratum Wines in 2018. Without a doubt, these are some of the most sensational wines made in Spain in recent years.
