| Taught by David Schwartzwalder within a 3-day seminar on products from Spain | The journalist and prestigious wine expert from Spain, David Schwartzwalder, gave two master classes on the peculiarities of the PDO Jumilla and its native variety, Monastrell, to the students of the IHK sommelier school in Würzburg, and Deutsche Wein und Sommelierschule in Koblenz , two of the most prestigious in Germany.There have been two sessions that have become especially relevant due to the times in which they have been held.

The first session took place on May 12, and the second session took place in Koblenz yesterday, June 16.

In German schools, an example of management in the fight against coronavirus, safety partitions were optionally implemented so that students who so wish can continue their courses and tastings with extra security.In these sessions, wines were tasted that were part of the prize list of the 25th DOP Jumilla Wine Quality Contest, replacing the master tasting that was going to be offered in the Wine Hall of the Spanish pavilion at the Prowein fair in Düsseldorf, the main action promotion of the Jumilla PDO in Germany and which this year has been canceled.The Schwartzwalder presentation covered the main characteristics of the Jumilla PDO, along with the tasting of 6 wines, mainly focused on the Monastrell variety, but the students were also able to taste assemblies with other grapes, and 100% Syrah, demonstrating the versatility of a Denomination Of historical origin that has been known to adapt very well to the new times, and whose successes are reflected in the prize list of the quality contest.

In its last 2019 edition, the winning wines represented 50% of Monastrell wines as much as Syrah, and of course, the assemblies.The German market is one of the most important for the Jumilla DOP, and occupies the fourth position in its sales worldwide.

From within the Regulatory Council it has been decided to reinforce presence through the training and promotion of the territory that makes up the DOP Jumilla, among future hospitality professionals.On the website you can see the wineries that offer direct shipping of wines to the final consumer, either from their online store as well as by phone, WhatsApp or email.
