Alfredo Maestro Castrillo De Duero 2018

“Castrillo de Duero” is sourced from a high elevation vineyard in Valtiendas (Segovia), complimented by old vine fruit grown in Peñafiel (Valladolid). The grapes were hand-harvested the 3rd week of October, fermented in steel vat with 12-15 days of maceration and 20% whole cluster, pressed to neutral, light-toast French barrels for malolactic and aging for 12 months, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and very low SO2. Castrillo is classic Tinto Fino wine with layered black and red fruit, polished tannins, freshness, and elegance; a perfect wine to pair with grilled lamb chops or dry-aged beef.
