Castaño Hécula Monastrell 2019 (750ml) Médoc While it is still theWinemaker Notes Hcula is an old vine Monastrell sourced from two districts, Las Gruesas & Pozuelo, both in the northern part of DO Yecla. Here the soils are high in lime content and at a higher elevation than the rest of the region, the Monastrell is dense and rich but with balanced acidity and ripe tannins. Hcula is destemmed, fermented in stainless steel tanks with a maceration of 10 days followed by aging in French and American oak barrels.
