Crushed & Cured
Familia Castaño, Organic Rosado, Murcia, Spain 2024
Delicate, pale pink in colour, this wine shows pleasant aromas of raspberry and strawberry. A silky, enjoyable mouthfeel with a long, elegant finish.
Based in Yecla, Familia Castaño is known for its huge efforts to promote one of Spain’s native varieties: Monastrell. Castaño embodies the best of what southern Spain has to offer, producing rich, warm-climate wines, which over deliver in terms of value year after year.
The grapes were crushed very lightly. After settling, the free run juice went straight to fermentation to retain its vibrant colour and fresh fruit aromatics. The must was fermented at 16ºC for 13-14 days in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine remained in stainless steel tanks until bottling, to enhance the wine's purity of fruit.
