Bodegas Castaño Yecla Monastrell “Hécula” 2022 is a powerful, expressive Spanish red that showcases the depth and intensity of old-vine Monastrell from the Yecla region. Crafted by Bodegas Castaño, this wine reflects high-elevation vineyards and a warm, dry climate that deliver concentration without sacrificing balance.
The nose opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, layered with notes of cracked pepper, cocoa, and dried Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, offering bold dark fruit flavors supported by firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity. Subtle smoky and earthy nuances add complexity as the wine opens in the glass.
The finish is long, warming, and satisfying, making Hécula an excellent match for grilled meats, lamb, sausages, barbecue, and hearty comfort foods. A bold, value-driven Monastrell that delivers classic Yecla power, structure, and unmistakable character.
