2008 La Casona de Castano Old Vines Monastrell - South East Spain

$11.99 CDN

We have had this wine in a 2007 - 2009 vintage and they all were amazing for the price point. The Castano family has been producing wine for several generations sourced from vineyards aging 40-60 years old!

This is 100 % Monastrell Old Vines. It is a definite full bodied wine with hints of berry, current and cherry and finishes with a slight hint of oak. It is great on its own or pairs well with cheese and fruit.

When I can find this wine, it always makes its way into the cart!
