Casa Castillo »Cuvée N« (2017)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

Casa Castillo ist eines der engagierten Häuser der Jumilla, die es geschafft haben, die fast in Vergessenheit versunkene Region zum Glänzen zu bringen. Und das natürlich mit hervorragenden Weinen. Die Cuvée N ist der neueste Geniestreich aus Trauben alter Monastrell-Reben, die aus den höheren Lagen des Las Gravas-Rebgartens stammen, über 18 Monate in Barriques gereift. Für den 2017er Jahrgang gab es 96+ von Robert Parker Wine Advocate: \'The 2017 Cuvée N is only the second bottling after the initial 2015 vintage, as the idea was to produce it only in the Mediterranean vintages (so, they didn’t make it in 2016 and won't make it in 2018 either). 2017 was an extraordinary year, and this is from the first 2.3 hectares of vines planted in the top part of Las Gravas. They did some fine-tuning, such as harvesting a little earlier so that the wine has kept great freshness, and the portion of full clusters probably helped there too. I found all the wines from 2017 very floral and elegant, giving a sensation of freshness. This wine is medium-bodied, fresh, elegant and perfumed, with very fine tannins, a subtle, chalky texture and clean, focused flavors that stay on your palate. This is remarkably fresher than the 2015, with red rather than black fruit. 3,200 bottles were filled in March 2019.\' (Luis Gutiérrez, Apr. 2019)
