A full house of 69 Members assembled at Ca La Iaia for the last tasting of the year, December being the Christmas function.\u00a0 Four red wines from their Bruma range were being presented by Elena and Loles from Bodegas Vi\u00f1aelena which is located in DO Jumilla.\u00a0\u00a0 This family run bodega, one of the oldest in the region has initiated a project with the idea of making and marketing 100% Monastrell wines but combining the qualities of this variety with diversity of climates and soils that exist within Jumilla.\u00a0\u00a0 They use different plots, which have different soils and are at different heights resulting in different products.\u00a0 Three of the four red wines were 100% Monastrell; the fourth was a Cabernet Sauvignon.\u00a0\u00a0 The word Bruma means mist and reflects the early morning mists which they have in the valley where their winery is situated<\/span><\/p>\n

The first wine tasted was Bruma Marin 2014, which was the first wine of their project and which aims to show how Monastrell behaves in the far south of Jumilla, in the place called Strait of Marin, which is the warmest and driest of the DO and where the winery is also located. \u00a0The plots located in the Strait of Marin, are in a valley created by the approach of the Rajica Mountains. The vines are grown on both sides of the valley,\u00a0the plots on the east are the darkest and they bring freshness, minerality and elegance and those on the west, with more hours of sunshine, bring maturity and warmth to the variety.\u00a0\u00a0 The soil is very stony and permeable\u00a0allowing\u00a0it to maintain the existing low humidity and the roots go deep allowing the vines to survive in extreme situations of drought.\u00a0\u00a0 A deep purplish colour with a lighter red around the edges, it has an aroma of blackberries.\u00a0 It has an Alcohol by Volume (ABV) of 14% costs 5.75\u20ac and members awarded it an average of 83 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second wine was Bruma Vi\u00f1as Viejas 2014 and it comes from a\u00a0vineyard rootstock that is more than 45 years old.\u00a0\u00a0 The vineyard is located at a height of 800 metres in the north of Jumilla,\u00a0with fresh soil and wide temperature range which produces well structured wines with very pleasant tannins. \u00a0\u00a050% of this wine has been aged for three months in\u00a0new French oak barrels\u00a0with a gentle toasting to respect this fruit variety\u00a0and the rest has remained in storage.\u00a0\u00a0 A deep cherry colour, it has an aroma of strawberries and cherries.\u00a0\u00a0 It costs 8.50\u20ac, has an ABV of 14.5% and received 84.7 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third wine was Bruma El Calvario 2014, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, shown on the bottle as 100% No Monastrell, which was explained as being a family joke as it is the only wine in their project which is not a Monastrell.\u00a0\u00a0 Finca El Calvario is a young vineyard at a height of 500 metres which creates controversy in the family and among their friends in the wine world.\u00a0\u00a0 Many wonder why plant Cabernet Sauvignon in Jumilla and specifically on this plot that people in the Strait Marin call Calvary because it’s a\u00a0very steep plot and a very poor calcareous white stone.\u00a0 \u00a0The locals advised that the plants would not live there.\u00a0\u00a0 However, since 2007,\u00a0a Cabernet Sauvignon trellis without irrigation has become a mature and dense vineyard.\u00a0\u00a0 El Calvario has spent 10 months of fermentation in 5,000 litre barrels.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a smooth velvety wine<\/span> with an aroma of black fruits and has a limited production of 5,000 bottles.\u00a0\u00a0 It costs 12.75\u20ac and members gave it 89 points. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The final wine presented was Bruma Mandiles 2014 \u00a0again a 100% Monastrell wine and also grown in the Straits of Marin and like Bruma del Estrecho sinks its roots deep to take its<\/span><\/p>\n
