Mosti Mondiale top off recommendations

[guitar309]

any recommendations for what wine to use to top off my castel del papa? does it mater? as long as its a red?

 

[Wade E]

I dought anything will change the profile much if any at all unless you need like 3 bottles to top up.

 

[smurfe]

Like Wade says' I just use any type of dry red I have for a red wine. No more than you add it won't affect the profile. I made a Vintners Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon about 3 years ago that was just too thin for me to enjoy. It made a great top off wine though. I have 2 bottles left.

You could use a Grenache, Syrah/Shiraz or Mourvedre, which are the primary grapes in a Chateauneuf du Pape (or Castel del Papa) or a blend of the same.

As dfw says, Castel del Papa is a Chateauneuf du Pape, a name copyrighted by the French. The kit makers can't use it, but they can duplicate the grape blend used to make it.

I agree with dfwwino, those choices of wine would be acceptable. If it were me, and I needed to top off with more than one bottle, I would get a bottle of shiraz and a grenache.
