Castaño Monastrell is a red wine that originates from the region of Yecla in Spain. It is made primarily from the Monastrell grape, also known as Mourvèdre in other parts of the world. This wine is known for its deep, intense color and robust character. On the nose, Castaño Monastrell offers a bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spices and earthy undertones. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a good balance of acidity. Flavors of black cherries, blackcurrants, and a touch of vanilla can be detected, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
