What is "jumilla"

Jumilla is a town in southeastern Spain. It is located in the north east of the Region of Murcia, close to the towns of Cieza and Yecla.

Jumilla is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) for wines that extends over the north of the region of Murcia, including the municipality of Jumilla—from which it takes its name—and the contiguous southeast of the Albacete province (municipalities of Montealegre del Castillo, Fuentealamo, Ontur, Hellin, Albatana and Tobarra) in the Castile-La Mancha region.

There are currently 32,000 hectares currently under vines in Jumilla DO, 45% of which are in Murcia and 55% in Albacete. There are around 3,000 grape-growers registered.
