General Information
Crápula Soul Limited Edition 2022 is born in the D.O. Jumilla, a land of sun and high-altitude vineyards, where monastrell reaches its fullest expression. Gabriel Martínez, the alma mater of Crápula Wines, selects vineyards over 50 years old for this variety, complementing it with syrah, petit verdot, and cabernet sauvignon from younger plots. The result is a wine with character, structure, and ripe fruit that expresses itself with intensity and balance.
The vinification of Crápula Soul Limited Edition 2022 is carried out in open 5000-liter tanks, with manual punch-downs and gentle pump-overs that respect the integrity of the fruit. The 15-month aging process takes place in 225-liter French oak barrels, aiming to provide structure without overpowering with woody notes. The wine presents an intense cherry color, aromas of forest fruits, sweet spices, and a balsamic background. On the palate, it is powerful, enveloping, and silky, with mature tannins and a long, flavorful finish.
Highly praised in previous vintages by Robert Parker, James Suckling, or the Gillbert&Gaillard guide, Crápula Soul Limited Edition 2022 stands out as one of the most remarkable red wines from Jumilla. Its profile makes it an ideal companion for red and white meats, stews, game, mushrooms, and fish in sauce. Served between 16 and 17 ºC, it unfolds all its complexity and elegance. In short, the limited edition of a sensational red wine that reflects the soul of a young winery with a clear vision: to craft wines that inspire emotion.
The winery
Crápula Wines is the personal project of Gabriel Martínez, a native of Jumilla. Trained in Business Administration and Management and previously employed in the banking sector, he decided to make the leap into the wine world, his true passion. He went on to develop commercial management and marketing roles in wineries in Jumilla and Rioja, until in 2008 he created his own project under the name Crápula Wines. Initially, he performed the functions of a ‘negociant,’ finding markets for wines purchased from other producers, until he eventually took a step further and began producing his own wines.
Before that, Gabriel Martínez searched for and purchased 8 hectares of exceptional vineyards, located 8 km from Jumilla and situated at 600 meters above sea level. With their fruits, as well as others acquired from local winegrowers who own high-quality vineyards, he produces his Crápula wines (D.O. Jumilla). These red wines, despite their short history, have already carved out an important place in the international market.
