Bichi "Listan" Tecate Listan Prieto 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"Listan is produced from centenarian 'pie franco' Mission (Listan Prieto) vines high in the mountains of Tecate, just south of the California border. Because the grapes are dryfarmed, yields are very low here. The grapes were harvested by hand, de-stemmed and fermented in locally made concrete tinajas with 20 days of maceration, raised in a mix of steel tank and used French barrels over winter, and bottled without fining or filtration and only 10 ppm of added SO2. Light-bodied and bouyant, this is a supremely drinkable expression of the Mission grape with notes of floral, funky & peppery red fruits, with refreshing briny acidity. Pair this wine with peppered beef and grilled game, and dishes rich in umami."

Envinate "Benje" Canary Islands Tinto 2019
Winemaker's Notes
The work of this "New Gang of Four" focuses on exploring the ancient, Atlantic-infused terrunos of the Canary Islands, and the Envinate philosophy is simple: allow each parcel to fully express itself in the finished wine by utilizing old-fashioned farming and winemaking methods. The results are some of the most exciting wines being produced in Spain today. The Benje wines are from vineyards on the northwestern volcanic slopes of the island of Tenerife. The viticulture is very old-fashioned: the vines grow untrained, the soil is worked by hand, and no chemicals are used. The island experiences a fairly temperate climate, enabling grapes to ripen at moderate alcohol levels while retaining bright acidity. Benje Tinto is sourced from several old-vine, untrained pie franco parcels of Listan Prieto (aka Mission or Pais). Each parcel is hand-harvested during the first half of September, destemmed and vinified separately, some in concrete tank and some in small open tubs. Maceration is 10-20 days (depending on parcel) with daily punch-downs, pressed 40% into concrete tank and the remainder into neutral French barriques for malolactic fermentation and aging on fine lees for 8 months, without battonage or added SO2. Bottling is without filtration, and clarified using natural vegetable proteins. This is a pure and vertical expression of high elevation, volcanic Canary terruno with notes of red and black fruits, peppercorns, purple flowers, and volcanic soil - a beautiful wine to pair with grilled meats and mojo rojo.
