Bodegas Parra Jimenez "Gulp Hablo - Fresco" Castilla-La Mancha Chillable Red 2024 (1.0-Liter)

Vin Chicago: 90 Points

(7/2025) Ready to smile? This one might take you back to childhood. Treated seriously in the vineyard, this biodynamic-certified blend is simply a blast in the glass. Strawberry-Kiwi Kool-Aid was never this real-feeling, but that sensation remains throughout this liter. Crafted from 50% Garnacha and 15% Syrah, the remainder of this light-hued red is actually white grapes: Verdejo, Airén and Macabeo. This wine scores for its vivacity, purity and accomplishing its mission so thoroughly. Crushable, affordable, engaging and uncomplicated - guiltless pleasure with no hard edges. Fresh red cherry juice, strawberry, hibiscus, kiwi and pomegranate adorn this chillable - and indeed, gulpable 'reddish' blend. Grab two of these, a porron, some jamon and manchego - and four friends!
