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.
Caviste
Blanquizal is a dry white wine that shows a different face of Pedro Ximénez. Instead of richness, it focuses on freshness, texture and a clear sense of place. The grapes come from 25-year-old vines in Moriles Altos, planted on very calcareous albariza soil, known for holding moisture in this hot part of Andalucía. Fermentation and ageing take place in used Montilla casks, and the wine spends 16 months under flor. This gives it gentle notes of yeast and pastry, together with white flowers and citrus. On the palate it is fresh, light on its feet and distinctly saline. It is an original white for anyone who wants to discover how lively and precise Pedro Ximénez can be outside the usual sweet styles.
