Casa Castillo Description
The perfumed, floral and elegant 2021 Monastrell has 15% Garnacha (the maximum allowed if the wine is called Monastrell), as it’s from a year that had more Garnacha vines, and he keeps planting the variety in the property because it gives the blend more elegance and freshness. The Monastrell matured in used barrels for eight to nine months, and the Garnacha matured in concrete. It’s juicy and tasty, with fine-grained tannins and 14.5% alcohol but with great balance. It’s Mediterranean with elegance. Great value. 190,000 bottles produced.
