The basis of Casa de la Ermita Crianza 2022 is Jumilla's iconic grape variety, the native Monastrell. The remaining ingredients are Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, two international varieties that have adapted very well to this part of the province of Murcia. It’s been aged for over 6 months in French and American oak barrels.
Casa de la Ermita, together with firms such as Luzón and the Gil family, was the driving force behind the modernisation of the D.O. Jumilla and is jointly responsible for making Monastrell one of the most important varieties grown in Spanish vineyards. Founded by the García family in 1999, the winery is located in the El Carche nature reserve at an altitude of 700 metres, one of the highest parts of the D.O. Jumilla.
It was also the first winery in Jumilla to achieve legal recognition for its organic farming practices. It has 100 hectares of vineyards where it chiefly grows Monastrell, though it also cultivates other international varieties such as Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. In fact, the Murcia-based company even has an experimental garden where it tests the adaptability of dozens of prestigious varieties.
The red wine Casa de la Ermita Crianza 2022 (D.O. Jumilla) is ideal for pairing with leg of lamb stuffed with mushrooms or baked rice.
Casa de la Ermita Crianza is a deeply pigmented cherry-red wine with intense legs. Black fruit compote, liquorice, balsamic and mineral notes linked to the limestone soils, mint, Mediterranean scrubland, cocoa and spices (pepper and cinnamon). Sweet on the attack, good freshness due to the balsamic notes, plenty of body, flavourful, rich black fruit, abundant but fine tannins. Its Mediterranean character comes across in the finish.
