New Wines for January 2017

02/01/2017 New on catalog

 

blog-00000002

We have now entered 2017 and are coming back with our batteries recharged to offer you the best wines. In our last blog entry, we told you about last year’s bestsellers, and today we want to present the new wines to start off the month. Let’s see if we can make post-holiday January a little easier.

Belondrade y Lurtón: We now have the new vintage of this classic in the region. In 1994, Didier Belondrade revolutionised the panorama of white wines in Rueda by offering a white wine fermented and aged in barrels. Today, it has become a point of reference for Spanish white wines.

Raúl Pérez & Niepoort Calderera Blanco: Two very influential people in the global winemaking scene, Dirk Niepoort and Raúl Perez, have collaborated to make this wine. Niepoort travelled to Bierzo to make this unique wine with the Godello grape. It is fermented and rests in 2000 litre fudres for 2 years and part (20%) is aged in amphoras. This is a direct and saline wine, perfect for people that like electric wines.

Honorio Rubio Lías Finas: This winery is situated in the town of Cordovín, an area famous for producing Claret, and has released a range of experimental wines with limited production to the market. This Lías Finas is made with the Viura grape, it is aged in tanks for the first 10 months with its fine lees and is then decanted into 225 litre barrels, where it continues to age for 6 more months. This wine resembles the classic Riojan white wines.

Amós Bañeres Vinya Oculta Vinya de la Múnia: We now have the new vintage of one of our favourite Xarel·los from Penedés. It comes from a 1.8 hectare vineyard that Amós works carefully and ecologically. In the winery, they intervene as little as possible, allowing the grape to express itself. As a result, we have a very complete wine, aromatically complex and with very good acidity.

Azpillaga Urarte Viña El Pago: Alberto looks after his vines using regenerative viticulture. He prepares careful treatments so that the vines grow in a way that respects the environment surrounding it. To create this wine, he uses the area’s traditional production method, carbonic maceration, of which he is a great defender. After a long maceration, he ages the wine for a few months in tanks, unlike other producers.

Chateau Paquita: Eloi Cedó is to blame for making this wine, which is sought-after by people who like light, fresh and drinkable wines. Made with the varieties Callet, Manto Negro and Monastrell, he looks after it with all the care in the world to avoid interfering with any kind of oenological product. Hurry, they’re flying off the shelves!

Tintilla Nude: The Tintilla de Rota is a native variety from Cádiz. Barbadillo makes this wine without any kind of ageing, so that the variety can express itself freely. A fruity and easy to drink wine.

Rozas 1er Cru: This is the new vintage of this wine produced by Comando G (Fernando and Dani) and their unique vision of interpreting the Garnachas de Gredos. In this case, the vineyard is situated in Rozas de Puerto Real, which produces a fresh, fruity and floral Garnacha. A key wine for understanding what is happening in the area.

Gramona Celler Batlle: Gramona makes this cava with 75% Xarello and Macabeo grapes from biodynamically cultivated vines. It is aged in stacks for 120 months, which gives it great complexity and elegance. One of the flagship cavas.
