Product Description
Details
The wine Casa Castillo El Molar is a noteworthy red from bodega Casa Castillo, one of DO Jumilla’s best producers.
This varietal Spanish red wine is made solely from Grenache, a variety that is quite rare in southeastern Spain, a part of the country where Monastrell reigns supreme. The grapes are sourced from three organically certified vineyards around 20 years of age with limestone and sandy soils, planted on the foothills of the El Molar mountain range.
The hand-harvested grapes were patially destemmed. This organic red wine from Jumilla was fermented with wild yeasts in stone vats, after it which it completed the malo in oak barrels.
After that, the red wine Casa Castillo El Molar 2023 was aged for 15 months in 500-litre oak barrels and 5,000-litre oak vats.
Once bottled, this red wine from Jumilla was stored for 12 months minimum before hitting the market.
