The Casa Rojo Viñas Bastardas is a wine that combines the region of Murcia and Ribera del Duero and is a new wine launched in October 2023. The Viñas Bastardas 2021 is the perfect reflection of what Casa Rojo is: innovation, originality, love, balance but above all passion. The wine is a blend of the two typical grapes from the 2 appellations. From the Ribera del duero comes the Tinto Fino or Tempranillo and from Murcia the Monastrell or Mourvedre. Both are blended in a 50/50% ratio.
The Tempranillo comes from old vineyards between 35 and 100 years old from Burgos and Valladolid. The Monastrell comes from old vines around the Casa Rojo winery in Murcia in the Valle de La Raja. The Tempranillo undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then matures for a minimum of 12 months in used French oak barrels. The Monastrell undergoes alcoholic fermentation in 11,000 liter French oak foudre and then malolactic fermentation in new 500 liter French oak barrels. Finally, the wine matures for at least 12 months in used barrels. The 2021 vintage is considered EXCELENTE in the Ribera del Duero and in the IGP Murcia. In the Ribera del Duero there were no major outliers and the Tempranillo grapes could ripen well and could be harvested under perfect dry conditions. The vineyards are around 1000 meters and are between 35-100 years old. In Murcia, Casa Rojo has the great advantage that the Monastrell vineyards are located at an altitude of 600 meters and are oriented to the north, which results in a lot of fruit but also good acidity.
The Casa Rojo Viñas Bastardas has an attractive intense ruby red color. This blend is characterized by a large amount of excellent fruit, especially red fruit, very good acidity, freshness and an attractive sweetness. In the nose we smell fresh red fruit in the beginning such as cherry, raspberry and red currant, but with some rolling more dark fruit emerges and we smell herbs and some leather. A very pleasant fruity, somewhat velvety mouthfeel and here the fruit notes supplemented with good acidity and a touch of oak come back well with a long aftertaste and good body to enjoy with red meat, such as sirloin steak. In our opinion, the marriage between Tempranillo and Monastrell is very successful and of course, as with all wines from Casa Rojo, the selection is also great.
This very well balanced wine also provides a unique exercise for the SDEN and WSET students to detect aromas typical of the Ribera del Duero and other Mediterranean and balsamic aromas that bring us to Murcia. Another great creation from Ernesto Peña, Fernanda Vázquez, Pablo Mompeán, Laura Rojo and Jose Luis Gómez, the winemaking team of Casa Rojo.

"LOVE WHAT YOU DO. DO WHAT YOU LOVE" JOSÉ LUIS GÓMEZ -Het maken van geweldige wijnen kost tijd en veel toewijding. Voortdurende verbetering, voortdurende evolutie en het zoeken naar perfectie in de wijngaard en daarna in de wijnmakerij, is de enige manier. Alleen als je houdt van je werk kan je deze toewijding en passie ten toon spreiden. “THE MOST IMPORTANT VIRTUE OF A WINE IS BALANCE” LAURA MUÑOZ-ROJO. Bij Casa Rojo maken ze wijnen waarmee José Luis en Laura zich geïdentificeerd voelen. Ze hebben het geluk en de luxe dat ze kunnen produceren in de gebieden waar ze hun roots hebben liggen en bewonderen met de twee druiven waar ze gepassioneerd over zijn: Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) in het landklimaat van La Ribera del Duero en de Monastrell in ons mediterrane thuisland, Tierra de Murcia. Recent zijn daar ook nog de unieke witte druiven vanuit Ribero - Galicië bijgekomen zoals de Verdejo, Albariño en Sauvignon Blanc. De visie van Casa Rojo is helder. “Een wijn moet een maximale expressie zijn van de bodem, de druiven, het locale klimaat.”
Casa Rojo is sinds 2010 actief dus een vrij jong bedrijf maar inmiddels zijn de wijnen van Casa Rojo verkrijgbaar in ruim 40 landen, waaronder, USA, Singapore, Italie, Frankrijk, Nederland, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, Australië, Zweden, Zwitserland, etc en overtijgt de vraag het aanbod. Niet vreemd want de kwaliteit van wijnen, de verhalen achter de wijn en de uitmonstering zijn ronduit uniek.
