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.

Tinaha Rosado is a dry rosé made from Monastrell grown on old, unirrigated bush vines on the north side of Sierra de la Pila in Murcia. The grapes are picked in two stages: an earlier harvest brings freshness, while a later one adds more rounded fruit and texture. The wine is fermented and aged for five months in handmade clay amphorae from Moreno León, on fine lees, with no oak and no heavy filtration. This gives it a pure, natural style and may leave a gentle texture in the glass. Expect aromas of red fruit, flowers and light balsamic notes, with a mineral touch in the background. On the palate it is fresh, dry and easy to enjoy, but with enough character to work well at the table. Serve it with Mediterranean rice dishes, grilled fish, seafood or mild cheeses.
