Jumenta, 2022, Pepe Rodriguez De Verva
Jumenta 2022 is a Spanish red from the Almansa DO in southeastern Spain, produced by winemaker Pepe Rodríguez de Vera under his Dominio de Casalta project. The wine reflects the hot, high-altitude terroir of the region and focuses on ripe fruit balanced by freshness.
Grapes: The wine is typically a blend of Mediterranean and international varieties, such as:
Syrah, Merlot and Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet)
These grapes give the wine both ripe fruit intensity and structure.
Region: Almansa - Located in southeastern Spain (province of Albacete)
Vineyards: sit 2,300–3,300 ft above sea level
Climate: continental with hot summers and cold winters
The elevation helps maintain fresh acidity despite the warm climate.
Winemaking: Fermented traditionally
Aged: About 6 months in French oak barrels
Alcohol: around 13–14%
The short oak aging adds subtle spice without overwhelming the fruit.
Aromas: blackberry, raspberry, violet, black pepper, coffee
Palate: medium-bodied with fresh acidity and rounded tannins
Finish: fruity and lightly spiced with good persistence
Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled meats, lamb dishes, smoky barbecue and pasta with tomato sauce.
