Pour yourself a glass of wine you pressed yourself. That's not a fantasy—it's a Tuesday afternoon at this six-bedroom working farmhouse in Cehegín, a quietly extraordinary corner of Murcia where the Sierra de la Puerta rolls into terraced hillsides still farmed the old way. The 300 grapevines climbing the property's southern slope produce around 500 liters of wine per year.
