Bodega Cerrón

The Cerdán family has managed this land since 1895, and the family portraits on the labels of all their wines are a nod to this family tradition. But when Juan José and Carlos Cerdán's parents made the decision to break away from the local cooperative, it gave them entirely new levels of creative control over the expression of their high quality Monastrell fruit. The family were early pioneers of organic practices, as they became the first certified organic vineyard in Jumilla in 1995, while still selling their fruit to their local cooperative. All wines are now micro-vinified from single vineyards, and each parcel is carefully matched to different types of oak or amphora ageing vessels. Their vineyards sit at the highest point of Jumilla, at over 1000m altitude, exposing them to extreme diurnal variation.
