The D.O. Yecla has finally carved out a niche for itself abroad and is now impressing the Spanish market with the quality of its Monastrell reds, the star grape variety of Spain’s Eastern Mediterranean region. A key winery always springs to mind in connection with this Denominación in Murcia: Castaño. A spearhead in the region, fifty years ago Bodegas Castaño was the first firm started up by one of the most important winemaking families in the country.
Solanera 2022, aged for 10 months in oak barrels, is a signature red created by Castaño more than a decade ago to conquer the American market. And it’s certainly succeeded, because vintage after vintage, this blend of Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha Tintorera has impressed international critics. In fact, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate has rated it with more than 90 points several times.
Solanera 2022 is perfect with rice dishes made with meat.
