This is a sunny, dry corner of the country, but the vineyards sit at around 500 metres above sea level and the sandy, lime-rich soils help retain freshness — giving the wine plenty of ripe fruit without turning it into a heavy, overblown red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade by the Castaño family, Molinico Loco is all about showing the approachable side of Monastrell. The grapes are handled gently and fermented in stainless-steel tanks, allowing the natural character of the variety to take centre stage. The result is a red built around juicy cherry and plum fruit, with enough structure to work at the table while remaining remarkably easy to drink.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is also a little story behind the name. Molinico Loco takes its name from the windmill beside the Castaño vineyards — a “crazy windmill” because, unusually, it turns on calm days rather than when the wind is blowing. It is a fitting name for a wine that takes a grape often associated with powerful Mediterranean reds and gives it a fresh, uncomplicated personality that works particularly well for everyday drinking in Ireland.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMolinico Loco is the kind of Spanish red that does not need a special occasion: juicy, fresh and full of ripe cherry and plum character, with soft tannins that make it immediately approachable. It has enough substance for dinner but stays light on its feet, making it an easy bottle to open when you simply want a good, uncomplicated glass of red.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Castano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839467639130,"sku":"8422443002427","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1745\/4426\/files\/Molinico_Loco_Monastrell.webp?v=1790888525","url":"https:\/\/vpmerchants.com\/products\/molinico-loco-monastrell","provider":"VP Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
