The warm South of Spain, Jumilla Region, produces this delicious 100% organic Monastrell (if you were next door in France you’d call the grape Mourvedre).
Our award winner has no added sulphurs.
Crisp but not intense, and very full bodied. The tannins are smooth and well integrated, giving a very more-ish finish – as in … give me more.
Delicious with game. Served room temperature (warm). Excellent choice.
Carta Roja Selection Reservada Monastrell
$19.99
The vines vary in age from 30 to more than 60 years and the sun exposure is north- south in the warm and dry Mediterranean vineyards.
The wine is fermented in steel, aged in oak. The vineyard is sustainable with organic practices. Castaño makes all types of wines but their calling card is their vibrant and juicy version of the variety called, simply, Monastrell.
At first glance, a rather Cherry look to it. Intense nose and great expression to the taste. Hard to believe that the price is less than $12. Almost is too good to be that price. Definitely a 90+ pointer that is full bodied and robust.

Most righteous Chilli with an apple crisp for dessert.
Also thinking it would also be great with kale/feta/turkey kefta.
The Wine is from the Almansa Region in LaMancha. It’s Not the Impossible Dream.
We really enjoyed how well balanced it is with a nice long finish. It would be really nice to just sit and sip with friends.
