Ramón Castaño Santa is the founder of Bodegas Castaño a family winery located in Yecla, a small wine region in southeast Spain. He started out making bulk wines back in 1950 but now focuses on bottled wines. Today his three children work in the business: Ramón, Juan Pedro and Daniel Castaño.

They own over 450 hectares of vines, planted predominantly to the region’s most planted red grape variety, Monastrell. Monastrell, also known as Mourvèdre in France, likes sun and thrives in warmer climates. The vineyards are up to 750m in altitude helping the grapes retain their fresh acidity. Both the Macabeo and Monastrell are unoaked and abound with primary fruity flavours. They are best drunk while
young with or without food.
