Familia Gil La Bien Planta 2024
La Bien Plantá is a tender, elegant red wine from the DO Almansa in Spain , crafted from 100% Garnacha Tinta cultivated organically and biodynamically at approximately 700 metres altitude by Bodegas Juan Gil. Delicate, pure, and fresh in style, it has been described as Spain's answer to Pinot Noir , and it is not hard to see why. Why You'll Love It The Gil family have been producers in Jumilla since the early 20th century, but La Bien Plantá represents a very different side of south-east Spanish winemaking. Where the region is better known for powerful, sun-drenched reds, this high-altitude, organically and biodynamically farmed Garnacha delivers something altogether more refined and unexpected: a wine of purity, delicacy, and aromatic lift that challenges every assumption about what Garnacha from this part of Spain can be. Winemaker Bartolomé Abellán has crafted a genuinely new-wave expression that rewards curious drinkers. Vineyard & Production Garnacha Tinta vines are cultivated organically and biodynamically at approximately 700 metres altitude in the DO Almansa, where the high elevation moderates the heat of south-east Spain and preserves the natural freshness and aromatic intensity that define this wine. Organic and biodynamic farming ensures the health of the soil and the purity of the fruit, with no synthetic inputs used in the vineyard. Vegan. Tasting Notes Delicate aromas of berry fruit with floral notes on the nose. The palate is elegant and fresh, with red and black fruits giving juicy acidity and savoury characters balanced by soft, supple, and persistent tannins. A wine of real purity and finesse. Perfect Pairings Excellent with vegetable and mushroom pasta dishes, pork sausages, and grilled meats. Also a natural partner for roasted chicken, charcuterie, and light lamb dishes. Grape Varieties Garnacha 100%
Tabali Pedregoso Gran Reserva Malbec 2024
Tabalí Pedregoso Gran Reserva Malbec is a refined and mineral red wine from the coastal Limarí Valley in Chile , planted on alluvial soils enriched with calcareous veins along the southern bank of the Limarí River. The Espinal vineyard's unique geology, stony alluvial terraces interspersed with limestone dust deposited by ancient glaciers, gives the wine remarkable freshness and a distinct mineral character that sets it apart from other Chilean Malbecs. Why You'll Love It This is Chilean Malbec with a real difference, sourced from the cool, coastal Limarí Valley near the edge of the Atacama Desert rather than the warmer inland valleys. The unique limestone-rich terroir and coastal influence create a wine with exceptional freshness, minerality, and elegance that is genuinely unlike anything else from Chile. Viña Tabalí, established in 2002, is a pioneering producer recognised for precise, terroir-driven wines that capture the unique character of northern and central Chile's distinctive coastal and desert-influenced regions. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal aromatic and phenolic ripeness from the Espinal vineyard in the Limarí Valley, picked into 20kg bins to preserve integrity and minimise damage. Fermentation takes place in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by post-fermentation maceration to enhance structure and texture. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to integrate flavours and achieve a polished, elegant finish. Tasting Notes Violet-red in the glass. The nose reveals ripe plums, sour cherries, red fruits, and delicate violet aromas. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and fresh, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a long, fruity finish with distinctive mineral notes. Perfect Pairings Ideal for barbecues, grilled meats, hearty autumn dishes, roasted lamb, or empanadas. The fresh acidity also makes it excellent with tomato-based pasta dishes.
