Buy Wine from Celler Francisco Castillo
Within the catalogue of new wineries in the Priorat there is one that stands out in particular and this is mainly due to its quality rather than its size.
The Celler Francisco Castillo winery is a family winery run by the married couple Paco Castillo and Dominic Bairaguet.
Bodega Celler Francisco Castillo produces its wines in Porrera, in the province of Tarragona with the Priorat appellation.
The couple Paco Castillo and Dominic Bairaguet, with the help of their children, are in charge of all the work in the winery; Paco is in charge of the vineyards and the winemaking, and Dominic is in charge of the sales.
Their history...
In 2002, the Celler Francisco Castillo winery began its journey as a very small, humble, family-run winery. It began as a hobby, then it started to involve family members who had dedicated themselves to things very different from the world of wine.
Hence the success of this project, which has now managed to become a family business with a dream estate, which is the great mother of wine.
Cultivation techniques
In this winery, all the cultivation is organic and the only fertiliser used is manure.
The grapes are often harvested by all the members of the family and a friend who always appears, in order to control it well and to make the first selection of grapes on the vine itself when it is picked.
Vineyards
The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 800 and 1000 metres above sea level, with a climate that produces top quality grapes.
The great secret of the winery is the La Tena estate, one of the best in Priorat in Porrera at an altitude of 430 metres; its pyramidal shell shape makes it easy to identify.
There are seven hectares of vineyards, with vines that are between 64 and more than 100 years old, others in smaller quantities have been planted for 8 years.
Best known wines
The wines of the Celler Francisco Castillo winery are very simple, well-made, authentic, with the minerality and depth of the great Priorat wines. They are wines that tell us where they come from, that reflect their origin.
There are a total of approximately fifty-five wines from the Celler Francisco Castillo winery on the market. Some of their best known wines are: Clos Dominic Blanc, Clos Dominic Vinyes Baixes, Clos Dominic Vinyes Altes. These are wines made with love and humility.
Clos Dominic Blanc is an aged white wine made with Garnacha Blanca, Picapoll and Pedro Ximénez by the Celler Francisco Castillo winery under the D.O.Q. Priorat appellation. Priorat.
Vinyes Baixes is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet and Carignan from younger vines, along with some Picapoll, Carignan and Grenache from older vines.
Vinyes Altes is based on Cariñena, with 75%, the rest being Garnacha. Old vines and low yields are its secret.
