Description

Un vin atypique de cette région espagnole qui offre un résultat agréablement surprenant. Le Grenache cultivé dans les vignobles de Casa Castillo sur des sols calcaires nous dévoile un aspect inédit de ce cépage autochtone que nous pouvons trouver dans plusieurs régions d’Espagne. C’est un vin rouge très agréable, caractérisé par sa fraîcheur et sa fluidité, mais aussi un vin très rafraîchissant malgré son haut degré d’alcool. Selon le dégustateur de The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutiérrez, c’est l’un des vins de l’appellation d’origine Jumilla à suivre de très près.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"A new kid on the block, the pure Garnacha 2013 El Molar carries the name of the vineyards where the vines were planted in 2006 on sand and chalk soils covered with gravel. It was foot trodden and fermented in cement vats and aged for nine months in used 500-liter oak barrels. In 2013 the vines worked until the very end as it was a year where there was more rain than average and a relatively cool summer (sometimes ripening occurs because of dehydration rather than true ripening) resulting in a perfect ripeness but quite contained. It is light ruby color, very bright acidity (low pH?) and there’s no indication of alcohol plus the oak is also perfectly integrated. It shows a pinch of spices over the core of red berries along with some spring flowers and perhaps a distant lactic touch. The supple and tasty palate is medium-bodied and has a fluid texture, very fine tannins and good acidity. The well-defined flavors are clean and offer floral notes plus developing notes of orange peel. I think this is the best Molar so far. A real bargain. 28,000 bottles".
