Antoine Graillot & Raul Perez, Bierzo Encinas 2018
Regular price $33.00 Save $-33.00Variety: Mencía
While Raúl Pérez operates his winery, “Encinas” is a special collaboration of two celebrated minds, with a guest appearance from Antoine Graillot of the Northern Rhone. The two winemakers apply their own techniques to the terroir of Bierzo. Antoine actually bought a cement vat for the project; alas, it would not fit through the door of Raúl’s winery, so a hole in the roof was made, and the vat was lowered by crane! Raúl offered his knowledge for the purchase of the local grapes and Antoine offered his adept hand in making the wine. He took Raúl’s advice of keeping the wine on its skins for a longer time after whole cluster fermentation took place. The wine is an intriguing Rhone style that took a trip to Bierzo.
“Encinas” refers to the local name for the common holm or evergreen oak, as seen artfully displayed on the label. The Mencia grapes for this project came from three different vineyards in the northwestern part of Bierzo.

Cantalapiedra Viticultores, "Arenisca" Tinta de Toro 2017
Regular price $27.00 Save $-27.00Variety: Tinta de Toro, aka... Tempranillo
In the region of Castilla y Leon of western Spain is Rueda. The grapes Verdejo and Tinto de Toro thrive here. In Rueda, there was a transition of conventional winemaking and then a slow progression (by a few) to make more expressive wines with lower intervention. The Cantalapiedras family dates back to the 19th century in the Rueda, with each generation bringing something new. There was a transition of conventional farming and selling fruit to finally bottling their own wines in 2014. There was another transition of making organic and biodynamic farming a priority. Manuel is the lead of the current generation, making wines both single vineyard and entry level.
This bottle is named “Arenisca” which means sandstone. It is made from Tinta de Toro, which is Rueda’s name for the Tempranillo grape. “Paraje Los Panaderos” is the name of the vineyard in Toro where this wine comes from. This site is among the highest elevation in the area. There is 30% stem inclusion for added structure and it spends 11 months in used French oak. While many Toro wines are very tannic, this bottle is balanced.

Alfredo Maestro, Vina Almate 2018
Regular price $19.00 Save $-19.00Variety: Tempranillo
Alfredo Maestro’s family came to Peñafiel from the Basque Country. Having grown up amongst the vines, he had a great interest in wine and started making his own from an early age. From the beginning, he farmed organically, yet in the cellar he worked literally by the book, teaching himself enology from a textbook, using all the tricks to make a “correct” wine of Ribera del Duero. He would use cultured yeasts, tannins, color enhancers, etc. It took some time, but Alfredo eventually had a revelation—as an organic farmer, why would he use chemicals to adjust the finished wine? It made the most sense for his cellar work to match the integrity which he used in the vineyard—so he did just that. He began eliminating unnecessary products and additives. By 2003 he was making wine without additives whatsoever, including sulfur.
Viña Almate is the first wine that Alfredo made, named after himself (Al-ma-te).

Regular price $20.00 Save $-20.00Variety: Mencia
In the world of minimal-intervention wines, Raul Perez is a kind of monk. Winnowing his vineyard with ascetic care and love, he is fond of saying that he watches the birds over his vines while selecting which to harvest, since the birds “know which grapes are tastier.” Ultreia, an ancient greeting, means “We go on” and what a perfect name for this wine grower whose beard is as long as his experience making incredible wine, who seems to have perfected the complicated art of constantly moving forward without ever leaving any place he has stood. The 2017 Ultreia Saint Jacques is a field blend of Bierzo’s famed Mencia, Alicante Bousquet and a variety of white grapes, fermented with stems and with no added sulphites. Blue and red fruits abound with a little velvety tannin and herbal flutter on the finish.

DaTerra Viticultores, Camino de la Frontera 2018
Regular price $38.00 Save $-38.00Variety: Tempranillo
Laura Lorenzo was the winemaker and viticulturist at an established Ribeira Sacra estate for close to a decade. In 2014, she struck out on her own with her project Daterra Viticultores, and now works about 4.5 hectares organically in the Val do Bibei-Quiroga subzone of Ribeira Sacra, and with this wine she extends her reach into Valdeorras to the southeast with the 2015 vintage. Through her meticulous work in the vineyard, Laura’s goal is to cultivate life in her soils that were once damaged by industrial viticulture, and to bring harmony to her vineyards and grapes. In the winery, Laura lets the grapes speak for themselves - fermenting with wild yeasts, utilizing older wooden casks for fermentation and elevage, and adding only small amounts of SO2 during the winemaking process, with no clarification, filtration, or adjustments to the wines.
Camino de la Frontera Tinto comes from an ancient, northwest-facing vineyard in the Parque Natural de Los Arribes del Duero, owned & cultivated by Angel Mayor, and planted with mostly Juan Garcia & Tinta Madrid balanced by other indigenous varieties. The grapes were harvested by hand on September 14th, wild yeast fermented 50% whole-cluster and 50% destemmed in used 500L French oak barrels with 13 days of skin maceration, and then raised in the same barrels for 10 months. This is a red wine of both elegance and rusticity, with a floral nose, soft tannins and bright acidity
