General Information
Castaño Monastrell Rosado Ecológico 2023 is made entirely from grapes of the most cultivated variety in Yecla and the grape with which Bodegas Castaño has managed to forge its name. The vines that produce it, over 30 years old, are grown at an altitude of 750 meters, in a north-south orientation, on soils of stony and limestone composition.
After the harvest, the monastrell grapes are transported to the winery where they are pressed and, without prior maceration, alcoholic fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 16ºC, for 13-14 days. After vinification, the result is a fresh rosé with a predominant aroma of stone fruit and gummy candy with a hint reminiscent of dried fruits.
Ramón Castaño Santa founded a family winery in 1950 that would later become the ambassador brand of the D.O. Yecla. In the 1980s, when it was common to produce bulk wines, Bodegas Castaño decided to start selling bottled wine, with resounding success. Currently, it has 600 hectares of vineyards and 90% of its wines are marketed internationally.
Castaño Monastrell Rosado Ecológico 2023 is a rosé wine under the D.O. Yecla that pairs perfectly with white meats and fish rice dishes.
