If a village could tell its story through a wine, Viña Castejón would be a great candidate. This new release in our Las Pizarras collection pays tribute to Castejón de Alarba, a corner of the Sierra de Pardos in Calatayud with fewer than 30 inhabitants, where Garnacha grows under extreme conditions and reaches its full expression.
At the end of this post, we’ll tell you how to get it before anyone else and receive a VIP pack with your reservation.
April 4, presentation at the winery
A wine like Viña Castejón deserves a celebration to match. That’s why on April 4 we will present it at Raíces Ibéricas, at our Maluenda winery, with all the villagers of Castejón invited.
It will be the perfect afternoon to celebrate and toast with Viña Castejón, a wine born from a unique environment and the effort of generations.
Photos from the contest we launched will also be exhibited during the event to highlight the true protagonist of this story: Castejón de Alarba.
Why Viña Castejón?
The vineyards of Castejón de Alarba are over 900 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and exposed to extreme climate conditions that challenge every vine. But it's precisely this harshness that produces a singular wine with a unique minerality and exceptional aromatic intensity.
This wine completes our Las Pizarras collection, joining Viña Alarba and Viña Acered wines that pay tribute to the winegrowing richness of Calatayud villages and their queen grape: Garnacha.
Viña Castejón in detail:
- Denomination of Origin: Calatayud.
- Variety: 100% Garnacha.
- Winemaking: temperature-controlled fermentation at no more than 28ºC to preserve fruit freshness.
- Aging: 6 months in barrel, just enough to add complexity without taking away from the Garnacha’s character.
The result is an intensely cherry-red wine with aromas of ripe red fruit, plums, and figs, with a touch of black pepper and minerality. On the palate, it’s round, balanced, and so fresh it begs for another sip.
