Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Bright strawberry red with purple edges, on the nose the wine is fresh and floral with aromas of rose petals and violets. Sweet cinnamon and pepper spices give way to bay leaf and menthol notes. Soft on the palate, the wine has a lithe and pleasant quality that continues through the long and fruity finish.
100% organic, Garnacha Tintorera from 20 year old vineyards.

    A red with lovely purity of fruit, showing plums and blackberries, as well as chocolate and walnuts. Medium body, medium round tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

    The young red 2019 Adaras Calizo was produced with Garnacha Tintorera grapes grown on the limestone soils where it can express Mediterranean character with good freshness. The abundant rain during the harvest presented plenty of challenges, but the wines have low alcohol (13.3%) and more freshness, expressing the variety. It fermented with part of full clusters in stainless steel and matured in concrete and oak vats for six months. It's juicy and fresh, relatively light for the variety, fruit-driven and very pleasant, with fine tannins, clean and easy to drink. Very drinkable. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2020.

Bodegas Venta La Vega, Spain
Bodegas Venta La Vega Almansa Winery Image

In the foothills of the legendary mountains of Almansa, known as El Mugrón, are the largest single planting of the Garnacha Tintorera vines in Europe. This privileged location has abundant water and excellent soil, with a micro-climate that guarantees conditions suitable to the organic production of the singular wines of Bodegas Venta la Vega Territorio Ecologico. The estate includes more than 850 hectares of organic farm land in the mountainous limestone soils of Almansa. Altitudes of 1200 meters encourage the creation of distinct, natural micro-climates that enable the land to be farmed without the use of any chemical treatments or additives.

 

This is a personal project of the renowned oenologist from the Bierzo region, Raúl Pérez. José Ángel Martínez, who made his winemaking fame, much like Laura Ramos, on the Envinate project, works closely with Raúl managing the daily operations. Venta La Vega’s greatest expression is found in “Ternario,” a limited collection of three progressively more evolved organic wines that are all based on the essence of the native variety, Garnacha Tintorera.

 

Venta la Vega also produces the delightful introductory “Adaras” range. Wines with a distinct flavor that blend the Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell varieties, a combination that offers a magnificent interpretation of the Almansa region.

The most famous of the rare, red-fleshed grape varieties, Alicante Bouschet is known as a Teinturier grape. While most red grapes have red skin but clear flesh or pulp, the French, Alicante Bouschet and the Georgian (country) variety called, Saperavi, both have red. These make intensely hued, full-bodied red wines that take to oak well and can stand some time in the cellar. Somm Secret—While originally the product of a French crossing (Petit Bouschet and Grenache) of the late 1800s, today Alicante Bouchet grows widely in Spain and is gaining notoriety in Portugal.

The Moors gave it the name, ‘Manxa,’ which fittingly means ‘parched earth.’ La Mancha, the largest Spanish wine producing region in all of Spain, is one of its hottest and driest. Sturdy and drought-resistant white varieietes like Airen, Viura and Verdejo thrive in this environment.
