The D.O. Jumilla is enjoying a sweet moment, and Alceño is one of the wineries that has made this success story possible. With old Monastrell vines, the region's queen grape, it produces Alceño 12 Meses 2022 (12 months in oak barrels), a red that has won three gold medals.
As striking as it is seductive: that’s Jumilla, the region with the most sunshine hours in Spain and home to an exceptional grape, Monastrell, capable of uniting power and elegance in one glass. It is no coincidence that it was recognised as ‘Denominación de Origen del Año’ by La Vanguardia’s Wine Guide 2025. Alceño 12 Meses 2022 is an excellent choice to discover the wines of this land.
Made from old Monastrell vines and aged 12 months in American and French oak barrels, since its market release the awards have not stopped accompanying it. It has three gold medals won at the Bacchus, Mundus Vini and VinEspaña competitions, as well as 92 points from the prestigious Wine Enthusiast (USA).
Founded in 1870, Bodegas Alceño maintains a philosophy that combines tradition and vineyard care under sustainable criteria, together with meticulous winemaking in the winery up to final bottling. It operates with 500 hectares of controlled vineyard and produces around half a million bottles annually, mostly destined for export. Its wines, expressive and pleasant, arise mainly from Monastrell grapes cultivated in dry farming, such as Alceño 12 Meses.
Pairing
With its 12-month ageing in American and French oak barrels, Alceño 12 Meses 2022 fits very well with relaxed-table meals and deep flavours, such as a grilled ribeye steak, braised beef cheeks, or a game rice dish, where its medium body, ripe fruit and good persistence naturally accompany the dish's intensity. It is also a sound choice alongside roast lamb, Ibérico presa, or cured cheeses, because its Monastrell profile provides balance and character without overpowering. Ideal for savoury and well-seasoned dishes.
