Why buy Discontinued Wine Montecastro

Marqués de Montecastro y Llanahermosa was founded in 2001 by Alfonso de Salas, under the baton of French winemaker Bertrand Erhard. Its wines have been obtained from a Tempranillo vineyards with an age of 8 to 100 years in five different types of soils, and elevations between 655 and 1066 meters. Diversity in vineyards, different soil types and differences in altitude, result in a multifaceted essential crop for maximum complexity of a mono-varietal Tempranillo product. The production process focuses on the retention and rich grape tannins, resulting in sophisticated and complex wines.

The design of the modern winery, emulates traditional feature fireplace (zarcera) groundwater medieval cellars in the area, and serves the dual purpose of providing natural ventilation and daylighting.

This wine is only made when vintage conditions are optimal. If they are not, the grapes are used to make Alcontre, a lighter wine with a shorter aging.
