Stratum Wines - "Maulao", Jumilla 2022 (750ml)

Stratum Wines is a project from Bodega Cerrón in Jumilla,
helmed by the fourth generation of the Cerdán family:
siblings Carlos, Juanjo and Lucía. The family
biodynamically farms about 30 hectares of high-altitude
ungrafted vines, mostly Monastrell, on calcareous soils.
Their farming was certified organic in 1989, and they
count on receiving Biodynamic certification through
Demeter in the coming months of 2022. There are
abundant cover crops in the vines, they work extensively
with animals, and champion biodiversity. In the cellar, they
work in a low-intervention style, with only spontaneous
fermentations with native yeasts and mostly without oak
influence. Sulfur is used judiciously and only at bottling.
The results of this careful work are well-balanced wines
that express a sense of place, with bright minerality that
complements the pristine fruit
