Let’s talk about… Modern wines from ancient vines: a new look at Jumilla, with Carolina Martinez Origone
July 1 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Join Carolina Martinez Origone, general secretary of Jumilla PDO Regulatory Council, to discover how Jumilla, one of Spain’s most dynamic wine regions, is redefining its identity through world-class expressions of Monastrell and securing its future through cutting-edge sustainability.
This webinar will explore the evolution of Monastrell – Jumilla’s signature grape – and how it fits in a global context for today’s wine industry alongside counterparts (otherwise known as Mourvèdre) in Bandol, Australia and beyond.
Following three years of extreme drought Carolina will also delve into the region’s forward-thinking response to climate change, including water-efficient viticulture, organic and biodynamic practices, and the unique role Jumilla’s terroir plays in fostering both resilience and quality.
Born in Madrid, Carolina is an agricultural engineer and holds a Master of Science in agrifood marketing. She has been the manager and general secretary of the Jumilla PDO Regulatory Council since 2017. With a firm belief in the potential of its wines and the distinctive features of the land, her aim is to modernise this historic wine region.
