The Donna Review
For a $6 wine – found in the Dan Murphy bin, I wasn’t expecting anything too great. But with a 2018 vintage it could go either way.
Well like a true Garnacha on pouring, it’s light and classic in its bouquet. The bouquet is lovely and could easily just leave it at this.
But on drinking it is a delicious wine, full of flavour including vanilla but oh so lovely and light in the aftertaste.
I would recommend at this price the 2018 vintage – buy it now.

Man with no palate Review
I am no wine connoisseur, if i was ever to do a blind taste, I couldn’t tell the difference between the wines if I’m honest. And if you are a connoisseur I am sure that you would find fault with this wine for any reason and I understand why. So we have to think what we had this with and the price point. This is one of the best wines we have had yet with a home made chicken curry. And we have to consider at $16, this is a ridiculously good wine. Depending what you have this wine with, I would air on caution, but as far as I’m concerned – at $6 worth every cent.

El Castero Garnacha 2018 Bottle Label Description
Thirteen century, nicknamed El Castero. This barely known Cistercian monk in a Monastery of Veruela was unwilling to comply with the monastic rule of Saint Benedict. Since a single half emina of wine per person was not enough for him. wine meant passion, pleasure and joy. He left behind everything he had and left the cloth as well to devote himself to the countryside, grapevine and good living.
