CASTILLO DE MONSERAN OLD VINES GARNACHA 750 ml

Discover the Castillo de Monseran Old Vines Garnacha, a vibrant red wine hailing from the historic Carineña region in Spain, widely recognized as the original home of the Garnacha grape. This area shares evocative terroir traits with the southern Rhône, lending the wine its distinctive character rooted in deep tradition.

Crafted through the dedicated efforts of winemakers Hugh Ryman and Jesús Prieto, this Grenache expression reflects their combined expertise. Hugh, trained at Bordeaux University's renowned winemaking program and seasoned by time at Australia's Petaluma alongside Brian Croser, partners with Jesús, a Zaragoza graduate and winemaker at Bodegas San Valero. Together with their viticulture team, they handpick ideal vineyard sites and pinpoint the perfect harvest moment. Their hands-on approach guides every phase, from vinification to final blending, delivering reliable style and quality in every bottle.

Pouring a medium ruby hue, this Spanish red captivates with intense aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and subtle earth notes. On the palate, it unfolds with generous richness and a smooth, velvety texture, weaving in gentle berry, spice, and vanilla accents that linger pleasantly.

At 13% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry-profiled (sweetness level 01) wine suits everyday indulgence or special gatherings. Elevate poultry dishes, hearty beef cuts, or robust game meats with its complementary profile—imagine it alongside roasted quail or grilled steak for an unforgettable match.

Its old-vine origins promise depth and nuance, making it a smart addition to your collection. Whether you're exploring Spanish reds or pairing for dinner, this bottle delivers consistent pleasure from a lineage of winemaking passion.
