2018 MONASTRELL, Castano. Yecla, Spain
Bin: 537
Alcohol Percentage: 13%
Area: Yecla is a small town in Murcia, southern Spain, which gives its name to the wine of the surrounding area. It has become renowned for its Monastrell (in France called Mourvèdre), a grape variety which copes well with hot and dry conditions. This vineyard is at 750m
Grape Variety: 85% Monastrell (from un-irrigated 30+ year old vines) and 15% Syrah
Producer: The estate is owned by the Castaño family who have a huge 450 hectares of vines, 300 of them are Monastrell!
Food Match: Hearty red for hearty food - casseroles, pies, even savoury puddings
Old Bridge Rating: Robust and rather rustic but full of character, honesty and charm. Spain has no rival when it comes to red wines of character at really sensible prices
