Light and soft. Very much a Merlot. Chill it, quite an experience!
Intense aromas and yet quite soft, like a good Merlot. This is one of the good wines of this house. Did you know that chilled Merlot goes very well with fish? Try it with pan fried sea bass, superb!
Six months in American oak barrels give extra personality to this interesting blend of Grenache Graciano and Merlot. A bright intense red. The Grenache and Merlot deliver plenty of red fruit oomph, with the delicately scented Graciano largely responsible for the floral overtones. Look out for hints of vanilla and cocoa too. It's well-balanced, oily and ample in the mouth, yet lively and joyful (and the low cost will bring a smile to your lips too).
A typical Navarra wine, in that it benefits from both the warm Mediterranean and cooler Atlantic influences. This is an uncomplicated but interesting blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After six months aging in French oak barrels, the softness of the Merlot grape prevails, but the mature, subtle black fruit aromas of the Cabernet Sauvignon remain. On the nose, look out for delicate aromas of blackberries and blueberries, with an interesting spicy and smoky edge. A good long finish, with round, not too ripe tannins makes this a perfect match for pork, lamb and turkey.

A Crianza wine has been aged in oak barrels for a year or more. In this case, it's 14 months in prime French and American oak. The result is an excellent value blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Graciano that's lively, well balanced and expressive, with elegant and well-balanced red berries and spices on the nose. You'll also find it fresh and fulsome, with a mild sweetness from its ripe tannins. And where better to end than on the long and very pleasant finish?

This wine is the perfect definition of Merlot. It has loads of ripe fruit aromas. It's well-balanced. And it's strong but with a very pleasant aftertaste. In two words: a winner - and you don't have to look far to see why. It is the work of one of the most influential private bodegas of the Yecla region - Bodegas Castano. They have been making wonderful wine for generations, source their grapes from three immaculate vineyards and age their wines in American oak. This delicious and versatile Merlot will go with any red meat or pork and is the sort of red you keep a protective eye on at barbecues.
A blend with Garnacha explains the strong and deep aromas of this Merlot. Taste of ripe fruits with and edge of smoked wood makes this Merlot an unusual full bodied red.
12 Months in barrel plus the blend with Grenache, Carignen and Tempranillo make this a very unusual wine. The aromas are deep but very soft and remind us of red fruits with a touch of wood ( French and American oak). Strong soft taste and a very log after taste. Superb!!
