Llamalo X Vestigium, Monastrell Tierra De Castilla, 2022
What is this wine?
From the Castilla-La Mancha region of central Spain, this red is made from Monastrell (also known as Mourvèdre in France). The Tierra de Castilla designation allows producers flexibility in sourcing grapes across the region, leading to expressive, value-driven wines. Vestigium is part of the “Llámalo X” project, which highlights single-varietal bottlings that showcase Spain’s diverse grape heritage.
Why get this wine?
Monastrell thrives in Spain’s hot, dry climate, producing bold reds with plenty of character. While many Monastrells come from Jumilla, this bottling offers a fresh, modern take from Castilla-La Mancha at an exceptionally friendly price point. It’s a chance to enjoy the grape’s signature richness and spice without breaking the bank.
What does this wine taste like?
Juicy and full-bodied, with flavors of dark plum, blackberry, and dried fig accented by pepper, licorice, and a touch of cocoa. The tannins are ripe but smooth, making it approachable and versatile.
When should you drink this wine?
A great weeknight red to open now. Perfect with grilled meats, burgers, sausages, or hearty vegetarian dishes like roasted eggplant and peppers. Best enjoyed young for its bold fruit.
