Bodegas Castillo de Monjardín
Description
Data of interest
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.
