The wine

Hécula is a combination of concentration, colour intensity, minerality, fruitiness and a wonderful texture. Made solely from Monastrell grapes, originating from vines aged 60-80 years old, it receives a short ageing of six months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels, with only half of them new. It is a seemingly simple wine, which surprises due to its complexity, freshness and good structure. Harmonious, pleasant, flavoursome, it reveals that subtle touch of oak which gives overall balance and makes its passage through the mouth even more pleasurable. As admired by Parker himself, it's "probably too good"; nobody would expect an exceptional wine at this price, but "this certainly is".

Bodegas Castaño

Bodegas Castaño

Bodegas Castaño has succeeded in giving the wine-producing region of Yecla the seal of quality that it lacked. This family-run winery has had very clear ideas about how to do things well, breaking away from clichés and changing the way of thinking of more than one winemaker worth his salt...
