Envinate, Lousas Vinas de Aldea 2019

$45.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Mencia

Envínate (Wine Yourself) has turned into a unicorn winery, producing wines people talk and read about but never can find or buy. The gang of four friends behind these bottles met while studying enology in Alicante, Spain. After graduating, they formed a wine consulting business to find lost, old vineyards and indigenous grapes and start producing wines from these sites and grapes. The aim has been no chemicals, handwork, and indigenous yeast only. The end product has been incredible and the sommelier world has latched on. Now the wines are in high demand but very little is produced.

Viñas de Aldea means “village wine,” differentiating this wine from Envinate’s single vineyard bottlings. The bottle is also named for the slate soil “Lousa” prevalent in Ribeira Sacra. The wine is made with whole cluster fermentation and aged in French oak barrels for eleven months. This Mencia is fresh and elegant oozing with peppery notes.

Antoine Graillot & Raul Perez, Bierzo Encinas 2018

$33.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: 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.

Guimaro, Ribeira Sacra Camino Real Mencia 2017

$29.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Mencía, Merenzao, Mouraton, Brancellao, Caiño Tinto, Sousón, and Alicante Bouschet

Pedro Rodriguez, the current generation at Guimaro is truly the rebel that the winery is named after. The almost vertical vineyards have forced him to become part winemaker, part mountain climber. Pedro took over the family estate known for making some of the best wine in the small town that was only sold and consumed at the local cantinas. Pedro has moved them into a new direction though, growing some of the best Mencia in the Ribera Sacra. He has converted the winery to much smaller crops, organic certification, and truly sustainable agriculture.

La Senda Bodegas y Vinedos, Bierzo Vindemiatrix Tinto 2019

$25.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Mencía, Palomino, and Doña Blanca

Diego Losada came along and redefined what wine could be in an appellation that was known for quantity over quality. Having an interest in organic chemistry, he studied this in university with an application to winemaking. The realization occurred that a more philosophical approach to natural winegrowing would further benefit his aesthetic. Thus began “La Senda,” meaning the path or “the way” in Spanish, an ode to his mental winemaking journey. In Bierzo where Diego sources his vines is an important stop for those who traverse the Camino de Santiago, reiterating the concept of this path. He uses older, low yielding vineyards, mostly Mencia, encourages biodiversity among them, and prefers low intervention.

Vindemiatrix is an introduction to the rest of Diego Losada’s talent. Sourced from seven old vine parcels in Bierzo. It is mostly Mencia co-fermented with Palomino and Doña Blanca, both of which are white varieties. This is a true representation of Bierzo wine—light and engaging, and fruit forward with mineral intensity.

Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Perez, Ultreia Saint Jacques Bierzo 2017

$20.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: 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.

Luis Gutiérrez, famed wine Critic in Spain, says of him that “Raúl is a free spirit, he does and doesn’t do, he goes from place to place, he doesn’t stop inventing, he doesn’t stop creating, he doesn’t stop tasting, he changes and changes again and again…”

The living legend that is Raúl Pérez hails from the northwestern corner of Spain in the small region of Bierzo, and this is where is has chosen to center his first personal project after many, many collaborations.
