Castaño, Organic Monastrell Rosé

€13.99

This wine is made from one of the darkest, inkiest grape varieties in the world, yet is bright, fresh and lively, full of red apple, raspberries, plums and citrus notes, with a juicy, crisp and mouth-watering palate.

Made from organic grapes by one of the most-celebrated winemakers in the south east of Spain, Danny Castaño, this is the other, very pretty side of the Monastrell grape variety. The vineyards in the region of Yecla are almost perfect for organic farming, as they are protected from many of the excesses of heat on account of their altitude and they have less impact from heavy maritime weather fronts because of the same mountains. This makes very dry land with naturally low-levels of precipitation and rough, poor soils that force the vines to burrow down to reach nutrients in the soils.

It produces red grapes that are heavy with tannin, capable of rich and dark dry wines as well as jet-black, glossy sweet wines. What's so interesting here is how fresh and delicate this wine is - made from the very same grapes - showing the skill and understanding of the grape's potential that Danny and his team have amassed over the years.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
