Castaño Hécula Monastrell 2019 (Spain)
- American & French oak
- Ripe red fruit
- Black pepper
- Soft tannins
"Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark berry, vanilla, smoked game and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness, combined with succulent fruit flavours and savoury nuances, finishing gorgeously long and silky. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2021
"From bush-trained vines grown in limestone soils and matured for six months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. Dense, smooth red with plum, raspberry, pepper and smoky oak flavours. Gutsy red offering good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Feb 2021
Of an intense cherry-red colour. Outstanding notes of ripe red fruit and spices (black peper) on elegant and subtle toasted aromas. Balanced, well - structured, with soft embodying tannins, good acidity and a silky afertaste.
Grapes are fermented for 8-10 days at 24-26°C, and the wine is aged for 6 months in 80% French oak barrels with the other 20% in American oak.
Food Pairing: Very versatile wine. Pair with lamb, meat stews, grilled meats in general, spicy food. Also lighter dishes as cured cheeses, assorted tapas.
