Cedar, dusty earth, dried herbs, strawberry and raspberry, all wrapped in a gauze of rock dust and pulverized dried flowers. Amazing acidity and a faint saltiness in the finish. 100+ year old Cinsault bush vines from the nooks and crannies of Itata. Dr. Terroir (soil geologist Pedro Parra) is putting his terroir where his mouth is. Roughly 30% whole cluster, but 100% delicious. — 4 years ago
Juan Gil Jiménez first built his winery in 1916 in Jumilla, and passed it down to his future generations. From 100% Monastrell (or Mourvèdre in France) aromas of dark berry fruits and woody spice. On the palate blackberry and plum with earthy wood flavors and notes of cacao and cinnamon spice. Soft tannins, lingering ending with a light toasty character. Great value! Very nice! — 7 years ago

Bought this at Republica de la Parra. Node has berries, wet leaves. Taste is a bit thin, berries, soft on tannins but they're there. Had it with pasta, would go well with light meats. recommended. — 4 years ago

A Cinsault planted in sandy, quartz soils. On the nose, cherry and earth notes plus hints of pea and a touch of sulfur. Soft in texture, it has gentle tannins with a little chalk and a rich aftertaste. A flavorful wine. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, March 2020)

Temporada de hojas tiernas de la parra, ideal para preparar “sarmale” (niños envueltos). Justamente con este plato acompañamos el vino Castellino, muy buen precio, vino joven de mesa, en vista: rojo profundo con reflejos violetas, en nariz: muy frutado, recuerdos a frutas rojas, negras, ligero, fresco, con notas especiadas, en boca: nuevamente marca la fruta, muy fresco, equilibrado, suave en tanninos, me gusto, temperatura de servicio 14°C a 16° saludos. — 4 years ago

Densely packed, delivering a dark fruit profile with mineral tones. Aeration brought some more flesh and spicecake aromas. Firm tannins. VA right at the limit. — 3 years ago
