Casa Castillo. Vino de Finca is the estate's highest expression, launched in 2015 and sourced exclusively from bush vines over 30 years old across the 170-hectare certified organic estate in Jumilla. North-facing slopes at around 700 metres altitude on calcareous and sandy soils with some gravelly plots, cultivated without irrigation. Magnum 1.5 L.

The 2017 is predominantly Monastrell with a portion of Garnacha, fermented with indigenous yeasts and whole clusters in large 5,000-litre French oak vats. Aged 12 months in neutral 500-litre French oak demi-muids, with no new oak.

Casa Castillo Vino de Finca 2017

Se trata de un tinto de la bodega Casa Castillo, perteneciente a la denominación de origen Jumilla, en la región de Murcia, España. La añada 2017 se presenta en formato Magnum de 1,5 litros. El vino es la expresión más alta de la finca, creada en 2015 y elaborada a partir de las viñas más antiguas de la propiedad, con una antigüedad superior a los 30 años, cultivadas en secano y en vaso dentro de un viñedo ecológico certificado de 170 hectáreas.

La composición del 2017 es un ensamblaje de Monastrell con una pequeña proporción de Garnacha (cercana al 25%). Las uvas provienen de cuatro parcelas seleccionadas en laderas de orientación norte, situadas a unos 700 metros de altitud sobre suelos calizos, arenosos y pedregosos. La elaboración incluye fermentación con levaduras indígenas, maceración con inclusión de racimos enteros en grandes depósitos de roble francés de 5.000 litros, seguida de una crianza de 12 meses en demi-muids neutros de 500 litros, sin uso de madera nueva. El vino fue embotellado en noviembre de 2018, con una producción total de 31.000 botellas.

En copa, el vino presenta color cereza con borde violáceo. En el aroma destaca una expresión frutal, floral y especiada, con fruta madura. La entrada en boca es sabrosa y frutosa, con una buena acidez y final largo. La Guía Peñín le otorga 93 puntos, mientras que la guía de Robert Parker le asigna 93+ puntos, destacando en su análisis el salto en profundidad y complejidad respecto al Monastrell de entrada de gama. El crítico valora el objetivo de encontrar más finura y elegancia, logrando un vino menos orientado al carácter varietal y más enfocado en el lugar, con notas perfumadas y florales en el final que reflejan el carácter de sol y caliza de la zona. Se trata de una cuvée establecida que busca la elegancia manteniendo el poder inherente de Jumilla.

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.

Learn more about Casa Castillo

The Casa Castillo estate was bought in the 1940s by José Sánchez-Cerezo, and at first it was used to store esparto grass and aromatic herbs. It held an old winery, dating from 1870, left abandoned until 1991, when Nemesio Vicente, Sánchez-Cerezo's son-in-law, proposed recovering it. The first vintage was made that year, and the first wine, Casa Castillo Crianza 1991, reached the market in 1993.

Today it is run by the siblings Guillermina, Julia, Marisol and José María Vicente Sánchez-Cerezo. José María had begun studying Architecture and dropped it when the first family harvest came along, to dedicate himself to wine.

The estate covers about 400 hectares beneath the Sierra del Molar, at around 700 metres, with almond and olive trees among the vines. Viticulture is certified organic, dry-farmed and bush-trained, on soils of calcareous sand and limestone gravel. The main variety is Monastrell, with Garnacha and Syrah.

They work with native yeasts and part whole-cluster. El Molar is Garnacha from the slopes of the sierra, with 30% whole grapes in open underground lagares and 12 months in oak foudres. Las Gravas, from the stoniest soils of the estate, is 90% Monastrell and 10% Garnacha. The Vino de Finca, born in 2015, spends 12 months in neutral 500-litre demi-muids.

Pie Franco 2020 was in 2022 the first wine from the Jumilla DOP to receive 100 Parker points, from Luis Gutiérrez. It comes from ungrafted vines in the La Solana plot, planted by José María's grandfather.
