TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Plums and mulberries in the cherry and blackberry fruit mix signify the presence of non-temps, most welcomely. The sense of cold, damp earth rings clear. Floral and herbal notes (think blackberry bush) join the aromatic mix, along with a delicate stony-mineral note of the earth. Tannins glove without blocking and release into fine natural acidity, with a touch of spice in the structural mix. Roses, bergamot, Russian caravan, persimmon. There’s an almost truffly sandstone earthen depth, delicate and rounded. Violets and spice linger out back in a sandstone- acid mingle, after a palate brimmed with wild bramble berries which have great ripe skin tension. Winery note.

Producer

Abeica

Abeica were growers for the co-ops until 1982, then made corrientes until 1987 after building their own winery in 1986 (a nice underground concrete bunker cellar which gives constant ageing at 17 degrees celsius). They have a classical mix of old vines field blends up to 150yo, and 20yo plantings mixing at most 2 varieties. Overall, their varietal composition is roughly 80% Tempranillo, 10% Viura, Garnacha 8% and 2% Mazuelo, with scatterings of Garnacha Blanca, Torrontes, and others. About 60% of their holdings are bush vines, the rest trellised. Viticulture is organic, non-certified. All parcels are turned annually, using small hand-held ‘electric mules’. Up here in the north, the soils are shallow calcareous clays with as little as 20cm soil over sandstone bedrock.

Purchased some of the La Chaize Fleurie Beaujolais 2022. Delivery was on time and Brad called me to check I received the order. I had and shared my thoughts of the Beaujolais. He was very engaging and clearly new his wines. Happy to do business with people that take pride in what they offer.
