    Torre Castillo Jumilla Alegre - Fantastic For $10

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 11, 2019 Last Updated: May 28, 2021

    Marvelous Monastrell from the Spanish region of Jumilla, the Torre Castillo Jumilla Alegre.

    Torre Castillo Jumilla Alegre - Fantastic For $10

    100% Monastrell (aka Mourvedre) from Jumilla, Spain. The wine spends 4 months in new American oak barrels.

    Sample submitted for review. The Torre Castillo Jumilla Alegre from Bodegas Torre Castillo has an SRP of $13 and is available for as low as $10. Imported by Kysela Pere et Fils.

    From the bottle:

    This wine is the result of careful selection of grapes from our oldest vineyards. The best fruit from these low yield, dry farmed ungrafted vines is fermented at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for four months in new oak casks made from top grade American oak.

    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2016 Torre Castillo Jumilla Alegre opens with a pleasing aroma of blackberry, licorice, spice and violets. Tasting the wine reveals deep, dark blackberry flavors mixed with just the right amounts of spice and earth. This is a wine with great depth of flavor which is not very common at this low price point. Smooth but grippy and substantial tannins and even a touch of minerality lead into the long, dry finish.
