About the Producer

Meritxell Vila, Chief winemaker, is highly experienced with a degree in Oenology and Agricultural Engineering. 

Vineyard and Winery

The winery utilizes grapes from various regions in Spain to select the best varietal grapes each harvest. These vineyards feature a variety of soil types, including deep clay loams and very stony soils with a breakdown of granites. Some of these vineyards employ traditional bush vines, which are known for producing lower yields. 

The tempranillo grapes are crushed and pressed. To achieve good color, the first must, along with the skins, are transferred to stainless steel tanks and kept for a few hours at 10ºC. Temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation is carried out at 15-17ºC to preserve the grapes' fruity aromas. In some instances, depending on the specific wine in the Castillo de Montoro range, fermentation is carried out at 24-27°C for 10-15 days. Some versions of the Tempranillo, particularly the Castillo del Moro blend with Syrah, are not oak-aged to preserve the pure fruit flavors and roundness.
