WINE DESCRIPTION
Castaño Monastrell Viñas Viejas is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Castaño, a renowned winery located in the D.O. Yecla appellation of southeastern Spain. This wine is made from old vines of the Monastrell grape variety, which are grown in the rugged and arid terrain of the region. The vineyard's unique features, including high altitude and poor soils, result in low yields and concentrated flavors in the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and earthy notes. It has a rich and complex flavor profile, with firm tannins and a long finish. Castaño Monastrell Viñas Viejas is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, authentic Spanish wine with a unique character.
