The hellinero public determined as winning wines two wines awarded in the 25th DOP Jumilla Quality Contest.
Thus, the gold medal-winning wine in the Red Crianza category, Altico 2015 of Bodegas Carchelo, also won the popular jury prize in that category.
Alceño Blanco 2018, from Bodegas Alceño, a silver medal, was also awarded in this blind tasting conducted by fans, reinforcing and validating its results.
The popular taste coincided with the professional, making it clear that you don't have to be an expert to value good wines.
Bodegas Alceño repeated recognition in the category of red wines made without contact with wood with its Red Alceño 2018, demonstrating that the wines they like, everyone likes.
In the part of best tasters, the prize was taken by José Manuel Morcillo Rodríguez in the White category, Juan Escudero in the Reds category made without contact with wood, and José Miguel García García in the Reds category made in contact with wood.
The balance of the 4th Jumilla PDO Fair in Hellín has been very satisfactory for the organizers, with greater growth and influx of people.
More than 1,500 people passed through the Hellín Garden to toast and enjoy the Jumilla PDO wines.
Also the presence of wineries broke a new record with 13 wineries present at the Fair and represented in the popular tasting contest, which maintained very close results among the different proposals of the participating wineries.
In the morning and afternoon, the public had the opportunity to taste the wines of Bodegas Alceño, Bodegas Bleda, Bodegas Carchelo, Bodegas Fernández, Bodegas Juan Gil, Bodegas Madrid Romero, Bodegas Ontalba, Bodegas Pio del Ramo, Bodegas San Dionisio, BSI Bodegas San Isidro, Bodegas Silvano García, Bodegas Sierra Norte and Bodegas Viña Elena that were enlivened by the rock trio Los Gamberros, who encouraged attendees to dance classic versions of Spanish rock and toasted the union of PDO Jumilla and its people from the Campos de Hellín region.
At the opening of the Fair, was the Mayor of Hellín City Council, Ramón García, Fabiola Jiménez, Councilor for Culture, Fair and Festivities and Julián Martínez Lizán, Councilor for Agriculture and Environment of Hellín City Council, who were accompanied by Ramón Lara , General Director of the 2030 Agenda of the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha, and part of the municipal corporation.
