Bodega Cerrón is a fourth-generation, family-run estate in Jumilla, Murcia, owned and operated by brothers Juan (Juanjo) and Carlos Cerdán with their mother Juani. The family farms vineyards across numerous parcels, including ungrafted vines, and has pursued organic certification since the 1990s. Most vineyards are organically farmed, with biodynamic practices used on high-altitude sites. The brothers lead the winemaking, producing limited-quantity, single-vineyard wines bottled in small batches.
