Artiga & Fustel Castillo Armado Gran Reserva Tempranillo 2005

Our wines are inspired by the cultures and people of our Spanish winelands and each one tells a unique story, lovingly brought to life by our passionate people. The vineyards are situated around the small town of Jumilla, in the southern Spanish province of Murcia. Our Syrah vines were planted at an altitude of between 650m and 700m, while our 110year-old Monastrell vineyard sits at around 900m and pre-dates the great phylloxera attack that devastated the region`s viticulture in the early 20th century. This world-renowned wine producing region enjoys year-round sunshine and scant rainfall, producing miniscule, low-yielding vines that develop intensely fruit-forward and richly aromatic grapes.
