This red wine comes from pre-phylloxera single-vineyard plots situated nine-hundred meters above sea level in the Jumilla region of Spain. The estate manages these ancient monastrell vines under strict certified organic and biodynamic viticulture protocols. The fruit ferments spontaneously with native wild yeasts in large, open neutral wooden vats, prioritizing gentle extraction over heavy forced power. It then matures for one year in neutral French oak barrels to allow the structural components to settle without wood dominance.

It pours a deep ruby-purple color, releasing rich aromatics of wild blackberry, black cherry, dried rosemary, and damp earth. A full-bodied, robust frame balances a dense core of dark fruit with a firm, chalky tannin profile. Savory notes of cracked black pepper and crushed limestone develop as the wine breathes. A clean vein of high-altitude acidity runs underneath, keeping the mouthfeel fresh and light.

Bodegas Cerrón is a family-owned winery in the Jumilla region of Spain, with their project Stratum Wines. Now run by the fourth generation of the Cerdán family, the winery is known for its high-altitude, organic, and biodynamic farming of indigenous grapes, particularly Monastrell. The winery is in Fuente-Álamo, one of the highest-elevation areas of the Jumilla Designation of Origin, with vineyards between 850 and 980 meters. The calcareous soils, combined with extreme weather, create concentrated wines that maintain freshness.
