In May 2013, the awards ceremony for the sixteenth edition of the Competition for the Quality of Bottled and Varietal Wines from the La Mancha Denomination of Origin, granted by this Regulatory Council.
The Jesús del Perdón-Bodegas Yuntero Cooperative obtained two Bronze Medals: the first, in the category of Tempranillo varietal rose wines, went to the Yuntero Rosado Tempranillo 2012 wine; and the second, in the category of young red blends, went to the organic wine Mundo Yuntero Tempranillo 2012.
Yuntero Rosado Tempranillo 2012 (Bronze Medal)
Made from 100% Tempranillo grape variety, it is obtained after cold maceration of the grapes for 12 hours, thus achieving its characteristic intense pinkish hue. After this process, the yolk must is bled and subsequently racked in cold at a temperature of between 6-8° C. After 48 hours, the yolk must is fermented for about 20 days between 14-16° C.
The result is a rosé wine with an attractive and intense raspberry red color, with aromas of said fruit and strawberry, and that stands out in the mouth for its balance, meatiness, complexity, structure and persistence.
Mundo Yuntero Tempranillo 2012 (Bronze Medal)
It is an organic red wine obtained after careful production and selection of grapes from the Bodegas Yuntero vineyards that are covered by the Organic Agriculture regulations.
It is made with Tempranillo (85%) and Syrah (15%) varieties. It has seven days of maceration with fermentation at a controlled temperature. It is cherry colored with purple tones. Its most characteristic aromas: ripe berries and wild red fruits. In the mouth it is harmonious, structured and with character.
It should be noted that Mundo Yuntero Tempranillo 2012 has also obtained the Gold Medal in the 17th edition of the Berliner Wein Trophy 2013, one of the most prestigious international wine competitions that took place in Berlin (Germany), and is sponsored by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV).
In 2014, 20 years have passed since the Jesús del Perdón Cooperative introduced the Mundo de Yuntero brand to the market, the first La Mancha wine from organic vineyards.
