El Castilla Garnacha has a nice concentration of fruits, it's rich and round with a long finish. The notes of spices and vanilla show a well integrated oak.
The vineyard is located in the center of Spain, at about 800 meters and has a Continental Mediterranean climate.
The winery was founded in the sixties by local growers, and today they are around 300 who deliver grapes of their property. In the last years they have improved the technology in the winery (stainless steel tanks with temperature control, pneumatic press...)
The grapes are harvested when grapes maturity controls indicate the ideal moment. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, fermented at a controlled temperature (between 25-30°C). During the alcoholic fermentation, the objective is to maximise the aromas of the future wine and to obtain a good structure with no agressive tannins. Malolactic fermentation follows these stages. The wine is then racked and aged in vats. The wine is aged with oak.
