Inland Murcia's high-altitude Monastrell (Mourvèdre) heartland, where old-vine Monastrell on limestone soils at 600-900m produces concentrated, spiced red wines of surprising elegance for the latitude. Jumilla's phylloxera-free status means many vines are ungrafted — a rarity in European viticulture.
