The estate and the wine |
|
|
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. |

The 2024 White Jumilla Situla delivers a stunning expression of Sauvignon—pure, fresh, and remarkably vibrant. It’s hard to believe this wine comes from such a warm climate! With delicate white fruit aromas, a subtle hint of wisteria, and no overt oak influence, it showcases a crystal-clear precision built on finesse. A beautifully executed wine for the region, perfect for pairing with tapas or the season’s first asparagus. |
