Tasting Note

A beautifully balanced and delicate expression of Monastrell. Floral on the nose, the palate is subtle and mineral, with a delicious Mediterranean elegance.

Product Notes

Casa Castillo Las Gravas wine is a delightful Spanish red with a depth of character that captivates the senses. Produced in the Jumilla region, this rich blend offers an intense ruby hue and a complex nose of ripe red fruits, Mediterranean herbs, and mineral notes. Palate is balanced with luscious tannins and a robust structure that carries through to a lingering finish. Its exceptional quality reflects the rigorously selected Monastrell, Syrah, and Garnacha Tintorera grapes, grown on stony, limestone-rich soils. This wine perfectly captures the warmth and richness of the Spanish terroir. It is an ideal accompaniment to hearty meat dishes.

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.
