This uniquely sensual wine ideally reflects Casa Castillo’s confidence in creating wines with distinctive authenticity. Effortlessly sumptuous, Pie Franco is an enthralling sensory experience.

About the Winery

Casa Castillo

Situated within the enchanting region of Jumilla, Spain, Casa Castillo winery is an exemplary bastion of quality wine production. Established in the late 19th century, the distinguished estate is a fount of exquisite wines that are passionately crafted to express the unique essence and true potential of this region.

The vineyard stretches like a rich tapestry, over 170 hectares of terraced landscapes. Casa Castillo is nestled in a valley that is favourable for the cultivation of Mourvèdre grape, which thrives under the harsh Mediterranean climate landscape. The Bodega has established and maintained an unwavering commitment to producing wines that are reflective of their terroir, showcasing the complexity of the Jumilla's natural mélange of soils, altitude and weather conditions.

Casa Castillo prides itself as a fine exponent of monastrell, a superb Spanish variant of the Mourvèdre grape. The winery's process of minimal intervention allows the unique characteristics of the monastrell grape to flourish unimpeded, culminating in a range of wines exhibiting ripe fruit flavours and well-integrated tannins, a logical outcome given the winery's location and magnificent terroir.

Amid the complex maze of ancient stone buildings, one finds a modern winery, home to contemporary viticultural techniques juxtaposed against the backdrop of time-honoured wine-making traditions. A lively cellar tour imparts a fascinating insight into the history and intricacies of Casa Castillo's process which is consistently recognised as one of the Spanish winemaking industry's benchmarks.

In spite of its deep-rooted tradition, the wines from Casa Castillo are refreshingly vibrant, demonstrating an uncanny balance between depth of flavour and drinkability, Casa Castillo's wines are a friendly invitation to sip, enjoy and celebrate life in its myriad flavours and experiences?

As one of the foremost wineries in Jumilla, Casa Castillo is a delightful testament to the region’s unique terroir and a genuine protagonist in shaping the global perception of Spanish wine.
