A rising star of Spain’s wine renaissance, Jumilla has earned a place on the world stage. It’s here that Bodegas Olivares has built its reputation, anchored by two rare assets: vineyards perched over 800 metres high—the coolest zone in the appellation—and a remarkable heritage of ungrafted Monastrell vines. Planted in sandy, limestone-rich soils, these old vines survived phylloxera and continue to yield fruit of striking intensity and perfume.

This treasure is carefully nurtured by the Olivares family, who coax out deep concentration and fragrance through long macerations, native-yeast fermentations, and gentle ageing in large-format oak vessels.
