Casa Castillo Vino de Finca 2017
Descripción
El vino de finca de Casa Castillo se origina a partir de las cepas más viejas de cinco parcelas distintas de la finca. Es un vino sorprendente, frutal y sin el impacto de la madera. Elaborado mayoritariamente con Monastrell de más de 30 años, complementada con un pequeño porcentaje de Garnacha. Su primera añada 2015 ya tuvo una gran acogida, que dejó a la bodega sin existencias a los dos meses de su lanzamiento. Gran carga de fruta que persiste en boca.

Opinión de los críticos
There is a big jump in depth, complexity and nuance between the Monastrell and the 2017 Vino de Finca, which is a blend of Monastrell with almost 25% Garnacha. This comes from four plots that were selected from what was previously used for the entry-level Monastrell; they aim was to find a wine with more finesse and elegance but with the inherent power of the zone. This is only the third vintage for this cuvée, and it feels quite established and different from the rest of the range; it has less varietal character and is more about the place, getting closer to the single-vineyard bottlings where they do not search for fruit character. The idea here is to ferment at temperatures that are quite so low and to stabilize the wine in oak barrels for a long-ish time (12 months in 500-liter barrels and 5,000-liter oak foudres). They are wines of sun and limestone. This is a good reflection of it with a perfumed and floral note on the finish (elegance!) that is quite remarkable. 31,000 bottles produced in 2017. It was bottled in November 2018.
En 1941 don José Sánchez-Cerezo y doña Julia Roch Melgares adquirieron la finca Casa Castillo para la explotación de romero. En la misma se hallaba enclavada una bodega construida en 1870.

Más flojo que otros años, pero bien. De hecho, con arroz, una maravilla.
