Bodegas Castaño
From that moment onward, Ramon did not stop making improvements. It was in the early 80s when he bought the first bottling plant. During the 90's, participation in trade fairs, tastings, and market research trips began with the full incorporation of his three sons: Ramon, Juan Pedro, and Daniel. It was during this period that the recognition and appreciation, both national and internationally, arrived.
The courage and determination of a man deeply rooted began to bear fruit. The development of Bodegas Castano is unstoppable, and the improvements are never-ending. The most recent of these was completed in 2002 with the construction of state-of-the-art storage premises: completely air-conditioned, with a new cooling chamber.
– Description from Mimi Kim
Deep purple red with my grandmas spice box that she used to baked cookies with on the nose. Seriously, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove which morphs into black pepper, all of which sits on a palate of mysterious dark fruits. Really a fun wine to keep my nose bu...

What wine would you suggest (both red & white) to serve at a grand opening of a Pottery Studio in Chicago. Inexpensive BUT tasty, $8. - $12.I know that's really low, but I'm hoping there are people out there that just LOVE the chase of finding great wines at low prices and I can pick your brains. Thanks!

Bodegas Castaño Mourvedre Blend Yecla Solanera Viñas Viejas 2005
Snoothrank:
Two days vacu-corked in the fridge and this wine became much smoother and better integrated with incredibly deep rich fruit and a better nose and heavier body. Balance favors the fruit for sure. More obvious chocolate and spice. Rustic, not elegant wine but super tasty and rich without being sweet. I'm guessing the monastrell, to a lesser ex... Read More

Bodegas Castaño Mourvedre Blend Yecla Solanera Viñas Viejas 2005
Snoothrank:
Decanted 0 to 30 mins. Rustic, big, and somewhat complex. I think the cab sauv and monastrell and alicante mix in an odd way - a bit more noise than harmony, but not unpleasant. Wine reminds me of a French "Sud" wine only with bigger fruit. Nose of powdery cocoa, earth, and minty herb (or forest floor) with hints of spice and oak. On the at... Read More

Plum jam aroma and palate, with just enough tannin at the end to keep it interesting. Delicious, gulpable! Read More

Bodegas Castaño Monastrell Yecla Hécula 2008
Snoothrank:
According to the tag in the liquor store, this vintage was highly rated. Initially, I disagreed, but after decanting and allowing for sufficient breathing time, this wine opened up nicely. Ruby red in colour with medium intensity. An appealing nose showing blackberry, spice leather and forest floor. Well balanced with soft tannins. The flav... Read More

Recently purchased at $7.95. Medium-bodied wine with dark red cherry color. Smooth on the palate with mild tannins. A bit of spice and fruit on the palate. Nice everyday wine. Read More
