Description
Made by Familia Castaño, the Molinico Loco wines share the same excellent value, whistle-clean and fruit-forward style that are hallmarks of the family’s other wines.
Molinico Loco is the affectionate name for the windmill (‘molino’) that sits on the edge of the Castaño vineyards. In contrast to other windmills, which turn in windy conditions, this particular windmill is ‘loco’ (the Spanish for crazy) as it turns only on calm, still days. The vineyards are located at an elevation of 500 metres, with a north-south orientation. The soils are sandy with a lime content that gives the wines their characteristic freshness.
This wine is an attractive pale pink with bright aromas of red berries and rose. It is soft and juicy on the palate with fresh flavours of wild strawberry and cherry, which linger on the finish.
