Black fruit aromas with tones of pepper and spice. The texture is lush, with soft lingering tannins with flavours of plum and brambles. 

This wine is dark red in colour. Aromatically intense with great complexity typical of this variety. Cariñena, also known as Carignan, is native to the region of Aragon and takes its name from the beautiful village of Cariñena.

Based in the Cariñena area of Aragón, 300km north-east of Madrid and 150km south of Rioja, Castillo de Monseran wines are produced by Bodegas San Valero under the supervision of winemakers Jesús Prieto and Hugh Ryman. Their vineyards are planted at between 350 and 700 metres above sea level and benefit from a continental climate with with warm days and cool nights during the ripening period, leading to optimum grape maturation. Together Jesús and Hugh work with a team of viticulturalists to select appropriate vineyard parcels and to choose the right moment for picking. They describe Castillo de Monséran as the new Clasico and it is easy to see why as they wines are modern interpretations of the classic taste of Spanish red wines.
