Wine Advocate (96)As I saw with Las Gravas, the only problem with the 2016 Pie Franco is that I tasted it next to the superb 2017. Surprisingly enough, it feels riper than the 2017, when the year was colder and wetter. It has persistent and pungent flavors and is juicy within the dry and stony character of the texture. |

Unveiling the exquisite Casa Castillo Jumilla Pie Franco 2018, a Spanish marvel produced from ungrafted vines grown in pure sand soil, dates back to phylloxera. This monastrell gem exudes a beautiful fusion of concentration, purity, and balance. Its robust ruby hue hosts a complex bouquet of black and red fruits, hints of earthy minerals, clove, and black pepper. Winemaker José María Vicente heeds respectful viticulture, influenced by his ancestry's teachings since the estate's establishment in 1870. The wine is matured in French and American oak barrels, revealing its full potential with air contact, showcasing a fresh, vibrant, yet altogether powerful palate. Straight from the sun-bathed slopes of Jumilla, in the southeast of Spain, this Casa Castillo Jumilla Pie Franco 2018 is an extraordinary representation of its storied terroir, making it an unmissable addition for any discerning wine enthusiast. |
