New Wines for October 2016
We’re starting October with new vintages from the heavyweights leading the Spanish wine-making scene and some other very interesting new projects.
Sacristía AB saca: A very interesting project in Jerez. It is comprised of the limited amount of wine extracted from the sediment selected by Antonio Barbadillo in the Sánchez Ayala winery. An unfiltered Manzanilla with plenty of character and breed.
As Sortes: Since 2004, Rafael Palacios has been producing white wines with the Godello variety in Valdeorras. Year after year the quality climbs; this is a refined and mineral white wine. As Sortes is a key wine in order to understand the Valdeorras area.
PSI: An entry-level wine by Peter Sisseck that keeps gaining freshness and fruity flavour. This change in style comes from the Garnacha variety, which is becoming more and more prominent in the final blend. This is a wine that represents the new profile of Ribera del Duero.
Clos Mogador: One of Priorat’s emblematic wines. Rene Barbier repeats the outline of her famous walled vineyard (clos) in Gratallops planted with the Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties on slate soil. Pure Mediterranean essence.
Villa de Corullón: This village wine by Ricardo Palacios is already available. It contains all the qualities provided by the Mencía variety in Corullón, due to the area’s different altitudes and exposures. This vintage was marked by an Atlantic influence until the end of August, when it endured blisteringly hot weather that rushed the start of the harvest. Ricardo had to struggle to contend with this setback with an excellent result.
Casa Castillo Pie Franco: If Jumilla is included in the panorama of great wines, it is down to this Pie Franco by Josemaría Vicente, made with the Monastrell variety planted on ungrafted soil (pie franco) in 1941. This is a subtle and elegant wine, a far cry from the stereotypes that have characterised the region. You can appreciate the Mediterranean character of the climate, but in a refined way.
El Pecado: One of Ribeira Sacra’s iconic plots. This wine is made by Raúl Pérez, one of the most famous and influential people on the global wine-making scene. El Pecado was born on the heart-pounding terraces looking out over the River Sil Canyon. A superb wine.
Laventura: A new project in La Rioja founded by Bryan MacRobert, a South African man who has been working with the legendary Eben Sadie in his Terroir al Limit projects and lately in the Swartland family winery. He is a vintner with an open mind and a gaze placed firmly on the ancestors. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo are cultivated ecologically and produced in a traditional way.
