Familia Castaño, Monastrell Organic Biodynamic
Wine Description:
This wine is deep ruby in colour. Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and liquorice emerge on the nose. Supple mouthfeel and velvety tannins give way to a juicy, fruit-forward finish.
Producer Description
Based in Yecla, Murcia, Familia Castaño is known for its huge efforts to promote one of Spain’s native varieties: Monastrell. Familia Castaño embodies the best of what southern Spain has to offer, producing rich, warm-climate wines, with almost Syrah-like complexity, which overdeliver in terms of value year after year. Castaño began bottling characterful, single-variety Monastrell in the 1980s when the variety was used exclusively for bulk wines and blending. Today, in the expert hands of Daniel Castaño and his family, the variety maintains high quality even at moderate to generous yields. 80% of the family’s 600 hectares of vineyards are dedicated to Monastrell.
