Organic Boxed Wine from Jumilla Wine District

Too many to count!
I was very surprised to see this boxed wine from Spain, in our small little liquor store in Pueblo, Colorado! Didn't know if this type of thing was readily available elsewhere in the USA. Not only is it boxed, but it is organic. It is from Jumilla, which I had to look up, that is in the SE area of Spain. Maybe not a "camino" favorite, but how much longer before we see Galician and Asturian wines in boxes in the USA? BTW the wine is quite tasty! I think I'll get it again.

Aha the Monastrell aka Mourvèdre! A very old grape variety.
I only drank Jumilla rosé wine till now.

 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

I buy a wine from Jumilla region named Camino de Seda,it's one of my favourites.
 
The only Spanish wine my local grocery store sells in my small Illinois town is Tempranillo. It's very good, but I tend to mainly purchase it when bringing it to an annual Camino Mini-reunion of friends.

EDIT- I now see the thread is about organic Spanish boxed wine, oops!

Many tempranillos are available in my town, just not in a box. I buy them regularly. The surprise was the boxed version and the type of wine which I had never heard of.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

It took me a day but I've finally remembered talking about this boxed wine with a friend five years ago. He then sent an email about it which I quote below (including where to get the boxed wine in the Boston area -- we haven't yet done so yet though):

I'm including the PDF but I looked for it online first. Some of the information is included on the following webpage but that is missing some information but contains other info.

It sounds like a great wine to try! Maybe we can find it in Portugal (moving from TX to Porto in February). Speaking of box wine, has anyone been able to taste this Spanish wine? La Nevera, Seleccion Especial Tinto. We walked pretty close to this vineyard on the Camino Frances. We found it at Whole Foods in Portland, ME. But not to be found that we've seen here in Austin. It's a good table wine. Very much like many of the bars and albergues served with peregrino menu. Not fine wine. Just good, drinkable wine. We hope to find it in Portugal.

BTW an Ausrtalian came up with the idea of boxed wine. And the automatic gear box.

I bought box wine once.

The label said it would last three weeks after opening.

That was very misleading as I only got three days out of the darn thing.

In all seriousness, I will look for this in our locale (Central Washington State). I have been very pleased to find rather a lot of good Spanish bottles, including Jumilla region, but a heavy emphasis on Navarre origin. Prices are rarely above $8.25 USD per 750 ml bottle.

Warmest holiday greetings to all,
