Castillan Mag in a Bag Rose

Sharing is caring!

seafood boil with rosado wine

Castilla is 40 miles south of Madrid. The region mostly grown Temperanillo and Airen, a white wine grape that loves the heat.

Castilla derives from the word castile and refer to the Kingdom of Castile, a large, powerful state on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. Castile also mean castle, as there are many castles in the area from that era.

You might say the region is enchanted. The wine, however, has largely become known as table wine, as Spain's largest wine producing region.

Mag in a Bag or Bagnum?

This Spanish rosado comes in a handy little bag with handles. Although it looks very small and lightweight, it does hold two whole bottles of wine or 1.5L.

From Castilla la Mancha, this wine is also biodynamic and aged for three months in amphora clay jars.

La Bodega Las Estrellas

La Bodega Las Estrellas is a small family winery committed to making wine in the natural way with no additives and minimal intervention.

They only make wine from grapes from their own vineyards; they use indigenous yeast; and use amphorae jars because it is "inherited from the best tradition on Earth, where aromas, flavours, colours and special textures are formed when fermenting, transmitting the authentic tradition of friendly and sweet-toothed wine."

100% Temperanillo, 13% ABV, imported by Critical Mass Selections, $28

Described on the back of the bag as a "A fresh, soft and fruity rose made in clay jars. Let yourself be carried away by new sensations and try surprising pairings."

Similarly, the label refers to the bag as a wine pouch that is "A perfect container to share emotions which protects wine from oxidations and has a low carbon footprint."

This vintage was coral and peachy colored.Aroma of rose, fresh apple, and nectarine and tasted of slightly sour strawberries and cantaloupe.

    What a great find (and I'm gonna need a name;-). So cool this wine is in a bag, + biodynamic and delicious. I didn't know there are rock crabs in CA! Your crab boil is impressive, but I'm all about those Miyagi oysters!

    Must say I am tickled. I wouldn't put 'small producer' and what you share about them together. I've mostly seen bagged wine (and bag in box) from larger, bulk producers so indeed a score for you. Love the pairing and the new site!
