I tried this wine from Yecla, Spain a few days ago. Bodegas Castano is a modern winery in Yecla, Murcia which specialises in old vine Mourvedre. Although there is little on its website about Solanera, it did state that this was a colaborative project with Eric Solomom of the USA. The back label says it is 70% Mourvedre with 15% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Bouschet (the synonym Garnacha Tintorera was used on the label) which has undergone 10 months oak aging.
This wine was a nice purple ruby with a sweet berry orangey nose. The palate was sweet acid and fruity with orange notes, with orangey acid providing structure.
