Image of Jumilla, not of the place itself.

The grapevine seed remains found at the El Prado site date back 5,000 years, and the Jumilla Denominación de Origen, established in 1966, is the oldest in the Región de Murcia. Monastrell, a native grape variety, accounts for around 80% of the region's vineyards.
