Casa Castillo Monastrell Vino De Finca Jumilla 2019 750 ML

With more and more Garnacha coming online from the grafting over of his Cabernet and with the planting of young vines, a new expression of Jumilla began to form at Casa Castillo – one that uses older vine Monastrell as its base but enlivened with about 25% Garnacha. Called Vino de Finca, or Estate Wine, this new cuvee was first made in 2015 and shows what a remarkable difference that small amount of Garnacha can make. Of course, it is not just the blend that makes Finca so expressive, but its indigenous fermentation, the inclusion of whole clusters, and a gentle maceration – in 5000L French oak vats and neutral 500L French oak demi-muids.
