Castillo de Monjardín Garnacha La Cantera 2023 is a single-varietal red wine made from Garnacha, produced by Bodegas Castillo de Monjardín in the municipality of Villamayor de Monjardín, within the Navarra Denomination of Origin. The vineyards, over 70 years old, are located at an altitude of 500 meters and are cultivated on loamy-clay soils. All these factors contribute to obtaining a smooth, fluid, and fresh wine.
The Bodega Castillo de Monjardín was founded in 1988 by Víctor del Villar and is located in the central area of Navarra. The winery benefits from a unique area for vine cultivation due to the characteristics of the soil and climate, as well as the influence of France, given its proximity. The French are well-versed in the production of wines with grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, something the winery takes into account. Castillo de Monjardín has an extension of 220 hectares of vineyards, with vines aged between 15 and 70 years, located at around 700 meters of altitude on sunny slopes refreshed by the cierzo wind.
Castillo de Monjardín Garnacha La Cantera 2023 is a red wine from old vines belonging to the D.O. Navarra. Its vinification follows a traditional method and is notable for its 6-month aging in barrels, aiming to perfectly showcase the typicity of this old Garnacha, where its fruitiness is harmoniously combined with toasted notes. This wine pairs ideally with all kinds of appetizers, vegetables, as well as white meats or grilled lamb.

El Castillo de Monjardín is located in the San Esteban Valley, in the heart of Tierra Estella (Navarra), nestled at the foot of the Pyrenean mountain range, not far from the French border. The proximity to France strongly influences the traditional production of these wines, using grape varieties such as chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. To this, we must add the production of outstanding garnachas and a pinot noir with a fresh and fruity personality.
The winery, founded in 1988, has a total of 220 hectares of family-owned vineyards, situated at an altitude of 600 meters, with vines aged between 15 and 70 years.
For Bodegas Castillo de Monjardín, the terroir plays a fundamental role, as the land imparts the personality, character, and quality of the wines. For the winery, “the only thing that always remains is the land, everything else is transitory.”
It is worth highlighting the microclimate in which these vineyards are located, influenced by the famous cierzo wind, so characteristic of these latitudes. This uniqueness, along with the extensive experience of Víctor del Villar and his team, is responsible for the production of unique wines, full of aromas, elegant flavors, and a firm structure. The wines are made with grapes from their own vineyards, with controlled fermentations and aging in French and American oak barrels.
The winery's goal is to achieve high-quality wines that can adequately complement Mediterranean cuisine and maintain its status as a benchmark in the national winemaking scene.
