Bodegas Bleda
Bleda is wonderfully located in a region with a rich cultural and wine-making heritage. A family company dating back to 1915 when it was founded by Don Antonio Bleda, they have long been wine-making pioneers, winning a coveted gold medal at the Barcelona Universal Exposition way back in 1929. The estate’s wines all belong to the Jumilla Designation of Origin situated in eastern Spain, halfway between the Mediterranean coastline and Castilla La Mancha. The family home is situated in the valley of Omblancas at an altitude of 650 metres and is overlooked by the Castle of Jumilla, or ‘Castillo de Jumilla’ which gives its name to several of the bodega’s wines. Four generations of dedicated wine producers have ensured a combination of experience, knowledge and values have been passed down to the current generation - the purpose is and always has been excellence though impeccable production techniques and careful ageing. As such the estate has won numerous awards for their wines, including Gold and Silver medals at the Berlin Wine Trophy this year.
