Jumilla
Jumilla is a town in the north east of the province of Murcia, Spain and also a wine-producing region. Jumilla's wine production is supposed to be famous for its use of Monastrell.
The town has a 15th century Castle, the 15th century Major Church of Santiago and many other old and historic buildings. My wife and I have visited this town and have enjoyed walking around looking at the many different sights to see.
The town is more famous for being on a tourist route called: ‘The Ruta del Vino’ The wine route. Jumilla has a D.O. Denomination of Origin for its famous wines. There are many Bodegas in the Town and the majority of them will do pre-booked wine tours.

The farm's total annual production will be the equivalent of the energy used by 20,000 homes. a reduction in CO2 emissions of 42,000 tons a year, information I found out from some research.
