José Floreal Jimenez Joullie, was born at the outset of the Spanish civil war. Unable to attend school because of the conflict, Floreal supported his family by taking care of the vineyard where–70 years later–he still goes to work every day. Monastrell, a thick-skinned varietal, that flourishes in this region, is well adapted to the harsh, desert-like conditions of southeastern Spain.
