" The 2023 La Casilla was fermented with whole clusters and indigenous yeasts in 4,500-liter oak vats and aged in these vats and a few 600-liter barrels for nine months. It has incredible freshness, [...]. It is complex and serious, much more complex than Clos Lojen, despite the small difference in price, and has notes of berries, herbs, and flowers, lots of Mediterranean aromatic herbs, and very good freshness and acidity, fine tannins, and a very good overall balance, ideal for accompanying food. It is a serious but easy-to-drink wine. It is more Rhône than Burgundy. [...]. I tasted a bottle of the 2005, their first vintage, and the wine was at full maturity, although the style was different (it has 14.5% alcohol), more extractive and with more oak. 2024-2035" (Wine Advocate - Parker 2024)

Eye
Bright ruby color, medium intensity
Nose
Rich and fruity, redcurrants, small wild berries, accompanied by aromatic herbs and fresh violets. With aeration, complex notes of leather emerge.
Mouth
Supple and crisp, with fine but firm tannins, its vibrancy makes your mouth water. The flavors echo those of the nose, with great freshness and a sweet, ripe fruit finish that lingers with a lovely, subtly spicy persistence.

About wine:
The 2023 La Casilla was fermented with whole bunches and indigenous yeasts in 4,500-liter oak vats and aged in these vats and a few 600-liter barrels for nine months. It has incredible freshness, an alcohol content of 13%, a pH of 3.6, and an acidity of 5.5 grams. It is complex and serious, much more complex than Clos Lojen, despite the small difference in price, and has notes of berries, herbs, and flowers, lots of Mediterranean aromatic herbs, and very good freshness and acidity, fine tannins, and a very good overall balance, ideal for accompanying food. It is a serious but easy-to-drink wine. It is more Rhône than Burgundy. It was bottled in June 2024 and 15,000 bottles were produced. I tasted a bottle from 2005, their first vintage, and the wine was at full maturity, although the style was different (it has 14.5% alcohol), more extractive and with more oak. 2024-2035
