Description

Ce vin de propriété de Casa Castillo est issu des plus vieilles vignes de cinq parcelles différentes du domaine. Les pieds de Mourvèdre de plus de 30 ans d'âge, complétés par un faible pourcentage de Grenache, donnent le jour à un vin étonnant, fruité et peu marqué par le bois. Le succès du premier millésime (2015) a été tel que le domaine s'est trouvé en rupture de stock deux mois à peine après sa sortie.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"There is a new middle-of-the-range red, above the Monastrell and below the single-vineyard wines, already in its second vintage with the 2016. This 2016 Vino de Finca comes from the oldest vineyard (from the grapes that used to go to the Monastrell) and also from different parts within the estate. It's mainly Monastrell with some 5% Garnacha, fermented with part of full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in oak foudres for one year. This is incredibly aromatic and expressive, with floral notes that I don't often find in Monastrell, elegant, balanced, fresh... simply unbelievable. It has an outstanding palate, with refined tannins and great length. 26,500 bottles were filled in September 2017". - Luis Gutiérrez.

Suckling:

This is super fresh with attractive blueberries, raspberries and red plums. The palate is silky and even, delivering a succulent, juicy and fresh array of ripe blackberries and blueberries. Drink in the next 3 to 4 years.

Peñín:

Color: cereza intenso, borde violáceo. Aroma: fruta madura, hierbas secas, fruta roja, especiado. Boca: fruta madura, especiado, taninos maduros, mineral.
