🇪🇸 Casa Castillo, ‘Pie Franco’ Jumilla
Country: Spain | Region: Jumilla
Grapes: 100% Monastrell (ungrafted, pie franco)
Style: Red Wine

🍇 Profound, Mineral, and Age-Worthy
A dark yet beautifully precise Monastrell that combines power with finesse—layered, savoury, and driven by mineral depth and elegant structure.

🍷 In the Glass
Deep ruby with inky edges—dense, intense, and commanding.

👃 On the Nose
Perfumed and complex, with exotic spice, liquorice, and tobacco layered over dark fruit, delivering both depth and aromatic elegance.

🍷 On the Palate
Medium to full-bodied and remarkably precise, showing layered black and blue fruits lifted by vibrant acidity. Firm, fine-grained tannins provide shape and tension, while a mineral core brings focus and length. The finish is persistent, savoury, and ethereal, unfolding with quiet authority.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Magnificent with roast lamb, game dishes, slow-cooked beef, or richly flavoured Mediterranean cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Built for graceful ageing—drinking well now with decanting, but will continue to evolve and gain complexity over 15–25 years.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
A benchmark Monastrell—dark yet elegant, combining exotic spice, mineral precision, and fine-grained structure for a long, savoury, and truly age-worthy finish.
