A good way to get a feel for the quality of a producer in Burgundy is to taste their Bourgogne Rouge and one gets the feeling that Jose Maria feels the same way. The Jumilla from Casa Castillo is made from younger vines sourced mainly from La Valle vineyard where the soils are silty and the grapes have more of a varietal expression than his rockier vineyards. Once labeled Monastrell José Maria has been incorporating increasing amounts of Garnacha into this wine so that now it is about 80% Monastrell with 20% Garnacha (varies by vintage). A sincere, pure and very fruity Monastrell.

The perfumed, floral and elegant 2021 Monastrell has 15% Garnacha as it's from a year that had more Garnacha vines, and he keeps planting the variety in the property because it gives the blend more elegance and freshness. It's juicy and tasty, with fine-grained tannins with great balance. It's Mediterranean with elegance. Great value.
