The wine

Pie Franco is Casa Castillo's legendary flagship, made from a single plot of ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Monastrell vines planted in deep sand.

Profound and utterly distinctive, it offers concentrated black fruit, wild herbs, liquorice and a savoury, mineral depth over silky, powerful tannins, finishing endlessly long. One of Spain's truly great reds.

Decant well and serve with roast and braised meats, game and mature cheese.

View all Casa Castillo wines

High on the limestone slopes of Jumilla, in the sun-baked interior of Murcia, Casa Castillo is one of Spain's great champions of Monastrell. This is old-vine country, where gnarled bush vines endure fierce heat and drought to give reds of extraordinary depth and character. It is a landscape as unforgiving as it is beautiful.

The estate's treasure is a plot of ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Monastrell planted in deep sand, the source of the legendary Pie Franco. Alongside it sit old-vine Garnacha and a range of characterful, age-worthy reds, each grown on the estate's stony hillsides.

Pure, powerful and astonishing value, these are among the finest wines of southern Spain. They combine southern warmth with a savoury, mineral freshness that sets them apart.

Decant the top wines and serve at cool room temperature, and taste the heat and stone of Jumilla.
