The winemaking process at Montecastro is simple, selective and natural, although it tries to experiment with modern production techniques that respect the grape and that at the same time are capable of enhancing aromas, maintaining quality and balance, paying special attention to the tannins.
The winery has 16 concrete tanks, with a capacity of 5,000 to 16,000 liters, as well as 5 small stainless steel tanks for controlled micro-vinifications. All tanks have hot-cold temperature control. The main reason for choosing concrete tanks is that they maintain temperatures very well and do not have static electricity, which helps to produce very clean wines. On the other hand, once the vinification is finished, it is a great element for aging, continuously combining it with the barrels.
Bright violet ruby color. The nose is very expressive, with a great intensity of red fruit, with a mineral touch, very well-integrated with the wood tannin. The mouth is fresh and fruity with a very characteristic tannin of the Tinta del Pais grape variety. The structure is very well balanced with the fruit and acidity. The wine shows a medium-long persistence structure with a noble and pleasant post-taste.
