New from Casa Castillo, this comes from younger Monastrell (85%) and Garnacha vines, fermented with about one third whole bunches and indigenous yeasts, followed by 12 months in 500L barrels and 5,000L vats. Youthful with lovely freshness, layered with dark fruit, and exceptionally good value for followers of Casa Castillo. On the nose, notes of ripe fruit, dried herbs, creamy oak, candied fruit. The palate is powerful, with ripe fruit, spice, and round tannins.
