The barrel-aged Hécula Magnum 1.5 l wooden crate from the wine-growing region of Murcia reveals itself in the glass in a dense purple red.

On the palate, the Hécula Magnum 1.5 l wooden crate from Bodegas Castaño opens wonderfully aromatic, fruity and balanced. Some wines are dry on the label, others really are. This red wine belongs to the second group, as it was bottled with just 1.7 g of residual sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Hécula Magnum 1.5 l wooden crate is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate.
