Libertango is a bright and expressive white wine that celebrates the freedom of natural winemaking. Grown in the rugged Alt-Empordà region of Catalonia, this field blend of Chenin Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada, and White Grenache offers a lively interplay of citrusy freshness and gentle floral notes. Hand-destemmed grapes see a short maceration, bringing out extra aromatic depth before fermenting in traditional amphora. Six months of aging in oak barrels lend a subtle roundness to its spirited acidity. Created by Vinyes Tortuga, who live among their vines and farm holistically, Libertango captures both a sense of place and an adventurous spirit in every sip.
Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.
Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.
