Organic/Bio Founded in 1903, Finca Torremilanos is the second oldest wine producer in Ribera del Duero, but hardly stuck in their ways. Since converting to fully certified biodynamics in 2015, they've been looking for more and more freshness in their wines, and they've delivered it here in spades and at a terrific price. It's from the family's younger Tempranillo vines plus other varietals that happen to have made their way into the massale selectionplanted vineyards. Half destemmed and half whole cluster fruit brings out plenty of plum and blackberry fruit and gives tannic lift to the blood orange/citric notes on the nicely grippy finish. With just 4 months in barrel, wood does not get in the way of this delicious, easy to drink, expression of one of Spain's greatest regions.
"2020 Montecastrillo is a wine from a cooler year, and it has less alcohol (13.8%) and a much fresher profile. This is more vibrant, lighter and fine-boned, with fine tannins and a velvety mouthfeel, polished by the time in bottle. It is very pleasant and easy to drink. It's evolving very slowly; it should continue evolving nicely in bottle for a few more years. Honest, tasty and very good value."
