Castillo de Madax Jumilla Gran Reserva 1993
The Castillo de Madax Jumilla Gran Reserva from the 1993 vintage is produced by INDUVASA. The vineyards dedicated to Castillo de Madax are situated approximately 10 kilometers west of the town of Jumilla, where they are well-tended and sheltered by surrounding low hills. This specific location benefits from a stable climate, which provides the foundation for producing consistent wines. The wine holds the Denominación de Origen Gran Reserva classification and has an alcohol content of 13 percent.
Jumilla is a Spanish wine region located in the southeastern part of the country, spanning the provinces of Murcia and Albacete. Functioning as a transition zone between the Mediterranean coast and the high central plateau of Castilla-La Mancha, the area is characterized by broad valleys and plateaus surrounded by mountainous terrain. The vineyards are planted at high altitudes ranging from 400 to 900 meters above sea level. The climate is extremely continental with Mediterranean influences, resulting in long, hot, and dry summers with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius, alongside cold winters. With over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and only about 300 millimeters of rainfall, the vines must be highly resilient. The soils, primarily consisting of limestone over clay, offer excellent drainage and low fertility, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The significant temperature fluctuations between day and night at these altitudes help protect the grapes under the intense sun. Jumilla received its official DO status in 1933, making it one of Spain's oldest recognized wine regions.
While Jumilla is historically renowned for the Monastrell grape, this particular Gran Reserva is crafted from a blend of 40 percent Tempranillo, 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30 percent Merlot. Tempranillo is Spain's primary grape variety, widely cultivated in regions such as Rioja and Ribera del Duero, as well as internationally in California. Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most recognized dark grape varieties, frequently found in Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. The blend is completed by Merlot, a classic dark grape traditionally grown in Bordeaux, Northern Italy, and across the United States. Together, these varieties are cultivated in Jumilla's demanding terroir, adapting to the dry conditions and limestone-rich soils.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Jumilla
Jumilla is a Spanish wine region located in southeastern Spain, where it stretches across the provinces of Murcia and Albacete. The area acts as a transition zone between the Mediterranean coast and the high-altitude central plateau, Castilla-La Mancha. Geographically, the region is characterized by broad valleys and plateaus surrounded by mountainous terrain, and the vineyards are typically planted at altitudes between 400 and 900 meters above sea level.
The climate in Jumilla is predominantly continental with Mediterranean influence, which results in long, very hot summers and cold winters. The region is extremely dry with very little annual rainfall, but the limestone-rich and stony soils have a good ability to retain the sparse moisture. The large temperature fluctuations between night and day in the high-altitude vineyards help to protect the grapes under the intense sun.
Jumilla received its official Denominación de Origen (DO) status in 1933 and is thus one of Spain's oldest recognized wine regions. The wine tradition is inextricably linked to the red wine grape Monastrell, which makes up the vast majority of the plantings, as it is particularly adapted to the harsh and dry climate. Many of the vines are traditionally grown as free-standing bushes with a large distance between the plants to optimize water uptake, and the region is known for housing a large proportion of old, ungrafted vines.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
