Product Description
Product Details
Style: Savoury & Detailed
Casa Castillo is led by the very talented José Maria Vicente, the third generation of his family to manage the property since it was purchased by his grandfather in 1941. The estate was originally brought for its crops of rosemary and esparto grass, but José Maria¿s grandfather planted Monastrell here in 1942.
In the last few years, Casa Castillo has really found its stride. José Maria, with a little help from Envinate|s Roberto Santana, has taken the old, dry grown vines and unique terroir of the property and added a clear style of freshness, transparency, moving from the heavy-handed wine-making and big oak influences that often dominate other Jumilla estates. ALIMENTARIA Importer
The 2021 La Tendida is the second vintage of this wine from young vines planted between 2006 and 2010 in an area where they are going to keep growing as they transition from the valley to more limestone-rich soils in other parts of the property. It was produced with 75% Monastrell and 25% Garnacha and matured in oak foudre. It has an elegant rusticity compared with Las Gravas or Pie Franco bottlings, with a combination of herbs, flowers, earth and tree bark, with very fine tannins and a chalky finish. It has ripeness, power, elegance and balance. 40,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in February/March 2023. LUIS GUTIERREZ, The Wine Advocate
