About This Wine:

Torre Castillo is a family owned winery run by Julian Lopez Lizan. It is located in Montealegre del Castillo, in the heart of the D.O. Jumilla. The family built a new cellar in 1996 and got new equipment that allowed them to take advantage of the most modern techniques to produce high quality wine. Also, they own 700 oak barrels. After spending two years experimenting two different vineyards, they had their first harvest in 1997 and released their first vintage in 2000. They started to export their wines in 2003. The export market keeps growing and now represents 60%.

This wine is made from 100% Monastrell (Mourvedre) with a selection of the oldest vines. Manual harvest. The grapes are picked at their full maturation. Aged for 4 months in new American oak barrels. Slight filtration.

What Does It Taste Like?

Intense ruby color. The nose offers distinctive ripe fruit aromas. Round and rich in the mouth with blackberry flavors intertwined with soft spicy and toasty notes. Powerful tannins that will soften after a few years of cellaring. Pairs well with rice dishes, gazpachos (cold tomato soup), game and cured cheeses.

Reviews:

"Monastrell is the Spanish name for the mourvedre grape, and this version is exuberantly fruity and downright fun, with enticing, spicy aromas. A great everyday red."
- Washington Post (December 2009) - VERY GOOD
