Castillo San Simon

We have new products from producer Garcia Carrion in Spain, Castillo San Simon.  We have a red and a white, Monastrell and Airen.

Airen is a bright, plae straw yellow in appearance with beautiful fruity aromas, like apples, banana and citrus notes.  A refreshing and balanced wine with good acidity.  The Monastrell is a deep purple, cherry colour with beautiful fresh aromas of berries.  An attractive and complex red wine with silky tannins and a long, toasty aftertaste.
