Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 was not produced, so from the 2017 they jumped to the 2019 Cuvée N, a wine they only want to produce in Mediterranean vintages (so far only 2015 and 2017). This 2019 comes from a slightly atypical vintage, marked by torrential rains during the harvest. It was produced with grapes from north-facing vines planted at the end of the 1970s on sandy limestone soils covered with gravels. It fermented fully destemmed in underground stone pools with indigenous yeasts and matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for 16 months. The 2019s in general are more varietal than the 2020s, and they have good ripeness, with notes of aromatic herbs and ripe fruit (without excess), a medium to full-bodied palate with some grainy tannin and a whiff of spiciness from the élevage. 3,400 bottles were filled in March 2021. There will be no 2020 either, but the wine should come back with the 2021 vintage.

Features

Description

Casa Castillo Cuvée N Viñas Viejas pays tribute to Nemesio Vicente, alma mater of the Murcian winery, who passed away in April 2017. This masterpiece is the result of the effort and dedication of his son, Jose María Vicente.

Winemaking

This is a single varietal Monastrell from old vines located in the highest part of the Gravas, from small productions, standing out for its great capacity for ageing and evolution.
It is made by means of traditional fermentation with whole bunches, without destemming, in underground vats with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in French oak barrels. It is aged for 19 months in used 500-litre French oak barrels.

Taste

Casa Castillo Cuvée N Viñas Viejas has a deep garnet red colour. On the nose, it displays aromas of black fruits and esparto, accompanied by balsamic notes and scrubland. On the palate, it is juicy, fatty and full-bodied, but at the same time fresh and light. Its hints of cocoa, chocolate and ripe fruit make it absolutely round and memorable.
