The Viña Cerrón was founded in 1895. For many decades simple wine was produced, which was bought by the local population and certainly enjoyed. After a good 50 years of being a cozy farmer, it all started
the family business flourished more and more, so that land could be bought continuously from 1950 onwards. This was followed by plantings of Tempranillo, Syrah, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and finally Chardonnay. In the early 1990s, the switch to biodynamic viticulture took place. Today the name Viña Cerrón in Spain stands for the pioneering role of the organic viticulture movement. Under the direction of the renowned oenologist Pedro Sarrión, fantastically dense wines with character and an enormous aroma are created. The creative head of the family business is the young Juan José Cerdán, he has given the entire wine line with funny-nostalgic labels and is intensively trying to make his wines known outside of Spain. |

Region: |
This dry region, which is very suitable for the cultivation of wine and olives, is characterized by sandstone slopes. Three thousand hours of sunshine a year and 300 mm of rainfall - usually in short, heavy showers during the season - are statistics of an area that has always produced high-quality wines for blends.
The majority (90%) of Jumilla produces red wines. So far, a large part of the everyday wines that Ms. and Mr. Spanier drink every day came from Jumilla. No reason, however, to underestimate this region!
The Monastrell grape was wrongly misunderstood for a long time. New plantings and a lot of know-how from other regions of the world as well as investments in new technologies opened up the potential of this grape, which is native to Spain and southern France (Mourvèdre). |
