2023 Casa Castillo Jumilla Monastrell

I tasted two vintages from the entry-level young wine, the oldest of which is the 2023 Monastrell, which is 100% Monastrell, as yields of Garnacha were low and was all used for El Molar. The wine shows very clean, focused, fresh and nuanced. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol and has a sense of freshness that goes beyond the parameters of pH and total acidity, coming through as harmonious and balanced. It has a medium-bodied palate and very fine tannins, with a tender texture, fine-boned and serious, and it`s mineral and tasty. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled from the same lot during a period of six months. 93 points
