“Aceitunas J. Abril, S.L.”, was founded in 1952. Family-owned company for three generations. In the south of Spain, olive groves are selected
for the harvest of our olives, which are directly carried to our fermentation plant in Pedrera. This process is hand-made with the aim of not
damaging our precious fruit. After that, the product is transported in carboys to our packaging plant in Lorca, for the elaboration, dressing,
packaging and distribution processes.
The environmental, ecological and weather conditions are perfect for farming,
both extensive and intensive (high crop yield). Thus, it is no surprise that
the Region is known as the "vegetable garden" of Europe.

In the Castaño family we are proud of the gifts that nature has granted us: the quality of our native soil and the variety of grape that is considered
among the most valued and appreciated in the world: the Monastrell. We are equipped not only with the most modern systems of vinification,
but we also employ the most specialised personnel to make possible the reality of Bodegas Castaño. Selection tables, stainless steel tanks,
pneumatic presses, an underground cellar with 2,000 barrels of American and French oak, always looking for the most advanced technology.
Castaño Monastrell is an insane value produced from three vineyard sites ranging in age from 40-60 years, this hedonistic effort can be
enjoyed now but will surely evolve for 2-3 years. The 2004 Hecula is a single vineyard selection of 100% Monastrell, 50% tank aged and
50% aged in French oak. It is slightly less ebullient but more serious than its younger sibling. The 2004 Solanera is a blend of 65% Monastrell,
20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15%Tintorera raised in French oak. Full-bodied, the wine is plush and full-flavoured with enough structure.
