"This is a gorgeous rendition of the variety; the complex bouquet shows blackberry, cranberry, toasted almond and cake spice characters. It is equally satisfying on the palate with succulent fruit intensity and fleshy mouthfeel, classically structured by chalky tannins." Sam Kim

"Of a clean purplish red colour. On the nose, it offers powerful aromas of blueberries, blackberries, violets and spices. On the palate, it shows a delicate smoked and candied touch, on a background of black pepper, memories of its brief aging in oak. Long and silky." Bodegas Castaño
Bodegas Castaño is today one of the most relevant wine producers in South-Eastern Spain for their tradition and achievements in the use of the indigenous grape varieties.
