Península - Vino de Montaña 2021
Extremadura | red, dry |
Surprisingly complex wine from old vineyards on mountainous granite terraces.
Alright, this is gonna be really exciting! Vino de Montaña is a crimson blend of Garnacha, Piñuela, and Rufete grape varieties from two different locations in the mountainous belt west of Madrid. Both locations share granite soil and have old vines. Sierra de Gata is almost on the border with Portugal and belongs to the Extremadura region, while Sierra de Gredos is already in Castile. Hints of blue and red fruits, hints of spicy and delicate notes. It's an exceptional wine with a long and mineral aftertaste.

A group from the Pyrenean Peninsula made up of growers, winemakers, and Masters of Wine, who all share a vision for authentic and sustainable winemaking in Spain. Most of their wines come from Castilla, which is in central Spain, but they’re sourced from vineyards situated at high altitudes on limestone and sandy clay soils, and they follow organic farming practices. What matters most to them is the character and purity of their wines, and they place a strong emphasis on the ecological aspect of their work.
Years ago, they were founding members of the “Wineries for Climate Protection” association, which aims to focus on renewable resources and reduce energy and water consumption, waste production, and CO2 emissions. One of the main faces of the Peninsula, Sam Harrop MW, co-authored the book “Authentic Wine” with wine expert Jamie Goode, which still serves as an introduction to the world of chemical-free wines for many organic and natural winemakers today.
