2023 Casa Castillo Monastrell Caros Wines NZ

A seriously undervalued red from a high altitude area that consists of old unirrigated bush vines. A beautifully rich blend dominated by Monastrell (Mourvedre) from Spain, that comes across much like the Bandol Wines of Southern France but at a fraction of the price. This is a great example of Monastrell's big-fruited and meaty, spicy style. This under the radar red is "a true bargain" at the price, and a Caro's a staff favourite.
