'Propiedad Viticola Casa Castillo' was built in 1870 by French immigrants, winegrowers fleeing the Phylloxera (phylloxera). Both native grape varieties (monastrell in the first place) and more 'international' varieties (syrah, cabernet sauvignon) were planted. In 1941, viticulture was put aside for rosemary.

Later, in the 1980s, the second generation of the Vincente family embarked on a major project to restore viticulture. Grandson José María is still in charge to this day. In the meantime, Casa Castillo has become a true reference for the monastrell in Jumilla and by extension throughout Spain.

The region is called El Altiplano de Jumilla and enjoys a continental climate that is somewhat mitigated by its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards are mainly located on the steep slopes of La Sierra del Molar. The main grape is, of course, the monastrell. Garnacha and Syrah are also grown on different plots and in the right place.
