This exceptional project is the personal brainchild of Elena Pacheco and Isio Ramos aimed at making 100% Monastrell wines from select DOP Jumilla vineyards. Working organically and using winemaking techniques acquired from local viticulturists, they skillfully craft their wines to reach their full expression with regard to microclimate, soil, location, and the age of the vines.

Monastrell 'Finca CQ'
2023
100% Monastrell from 32-year-old organically farmed bush vines planted at 2,300 feet elevation on the single-estate Casa Quemada was grown in a range of soils including deep sandy soils with organic matter and minimal active lime, loamy soils with green marlstone, and sandy conglomerate limestone soils under a dry Mediterranean climate. Farmed organically and awaiting certification, the low-density vineyards are dry-farmed, non-irrigated, and hand harvested. The fruit was harvested in September 2023 and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of 24–26°C using native yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and 7 months aging in used 500L French oak barrels and concrete before bottling in May 2024.
