Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I also tasted the very young 2024 Monastrell, the first bottling of it, which comes from an atypical vintage on the property; it was a Mediterranean season and had a cool end of the cycle, with wines averaging 0.5% less alcohol, but the grapes had perfect ripening and development of aromas and flavors, resulting in deep colors and profound wines. They didn't have enough Garnacha to use in this cuvée this year, which is again 100% Monastrell. They now have 20 hectares of Garnacha but feel they need eight or 10 hectares more. The wine is stonier than fruit-driven, despite its youth, and it has very good harmony and balance and a very serious mouthfeel and texture. It was bottled in December 2025. There are some 110,000 to 120,000 bottles.

Description
Casa Castillo Monastrell wine is a genuine expression of the Jumilla region, standing out for its organic character. This wine is made from 85% Monastrell and 15% Garnacha, two red varieties that reflect the essence of the Mediterranean. The Casa Castillo winery has decided to dispense with Syrah in the coupage of this wine, giving absolute prominence to the Monastrell.
Winemaking
The winemaking process follows a traditional one, treating each variety separately. Afterwards, the wine undergoes an ageing process that lasts between 8 and 10 months in foudres and 500-litre barrels.
Taste
Casa Castillo Monastrell has a cherry colour with violet tones. On the nose, it offers a balance between aromas of red fruit and wild herbs. On the palate, it is perceived as a tasty and easy to drink red wine, with a marked sensation of ripe fruit.
It is a light wine, with light cherry notes and still without roundness, indicating that it has a lot of rest ahead of it. Despite being a young wine, some describe it as light and lacking a defined personality, possibly influenced by the wonder of its older brother, the Viñas Viejas. However, its fresh fruit, green pepper and herbaceous notes make it stand out.
