Abadal Picapoll 2008 Winery: Bodegas Masies D’Avinyo Region: Pla De Bages D.O
Abadal Picapoll 2008 Winery: Bodegas Masies D’Avinyo Region: Pla de Bages D.O. Grapes: 100% Picapoll Winery: Masies D’Avinyo is leading the charge of quality wine production from this, one of the oldest vine growing regions in the world, el Bages, named for Bacchus the Roman god of wine. The vines are cultivated on carefully structured terraces, influenced by a Continental- Mediterranean climate, with low rainfall. This leads to highly structured wines that maintain a freshness and delicacy rarely found in such rich wines. Vineyards are planted with native and French grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Mando and Picapoll. A strong technical background is used in vineyard management, for example, specific total leaf area per mass of grapes to assure ripeness. This is combined with a detailed interaction with each vintage. In warm vintages, new oak is purchased with lower levels of toast, in cooler vintages barrels with higher levels of toast are used. A combination of French, Hungarian and American oak is used in aging the wines. Wine: This wine issues from a regeneration of indigenous and autochthonous grapes lead by Masies d’Avinyo in Pla de Bages. Picapoll, Trepat, Sumoll and other local grapes are being replanted or grafted to existing root- stocks. While often confused with Picpoul, this grape has been grown in the area since Roman times, being referenced in the writings of Pliny the Elder. Picapoll berries are small, oval and thick-skinned; though there are larger berried clones used as a table grape. The grape requires a lot of attention in the vineyard as bunches tend to grow smaller, “shoulder” clusters which need to be pruned off for proper ripening.

Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine
Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine Winemakers: Bodegas Iranzo Appellation: D.O. Utiel Requena (Valencia) Location: Valencia Varietal(s): 50% Tempranillo 50% Cabernet Sauvignon Ageing: No oak ageing - Best when consumed young. Analytical Data: Alc. 14.5.% by Vol. · Res. Sugar 1.44 g/l · Acidity: 5.11 g/l Serve at: 59º F-63º F UPC: 1-85554 00054-3 Vineyard: All of the production is obtained from the Estate FINCA CAÑADA HONDA. The production area includes lime soils which are ideal for obtaining colorful wines. Also the sand textures of these lime soils benefit the ripening of the grapes. The vineyard is situated 800 – 850 meters above sea level with an N / SE orientation resulting in maximum sunlight exposure. Vinification: The wine making process without the use of sulfur means that the hygienic conditions have to been extreme during harvest season. The grapes are harvested solely by hand in small crates. Every effort is made to avoid breakage and bacteria attacks. The wine deposits are filled very briefly so as not to delay the delicate fermentation process. All elements that come in contact with this no sulfite added wine are subject to the most extreme hygienically conditions. Terroir: Mix of sandy and clay soils, with the presence of stones. Training system: The vines are guided by the Gullot doble system, although the vines are not held. This system enhances the airing of the vines, avoids the emergence of cliptogamic diseases. Also, a shading cover of the vegetation avoids the direct impact of the sun on the vines. Tasting Notes: Aromas of strawberry, stewed plum, vanilla custard, and baking spice with a bright, dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, medium-long , prune, and bittersweet chocolate finish with well-integrated tannins.

Can Sumoi Ancestral Sumoll 2017 Technical Sheet
CAN SUMOI ANCESTRAL SUMOLL 2017 CAN SUMOI || Can Sumoi is the newest project from Pepe Raventós and Francesc Escala - a found treasure in the mountains of the Baix Penedès where they realize their vision and dreams in the remarkable landscape and passion for natural wines. Can Sumoi is an agricultural farm dating to 1645, located in Massís del Montmell, 600 meters above sea level. The estate has 400 hectares of land of which 30 are vineyards planted with Parellada, Xarel.lo and Sumoll; the rest is forest of oak, white pines, tall oaks and old stone walls that surround the winery and three farmhouses from the end of the 17th century, where wine used to be made. PENEDÈS || The Penedès has long been associated with innovative vineyards and wineries. In the 1970s, it became the first area in Spain to use stainless steel equipment and cold-fermentation. Since then, Penedès producers have been making excellent modern wines blending native with French varieties. There are three sub-regions of the DO: Baix Penedès on the coast, Mitja- Penedès, with rolling countryside and good southeastern exposure to the sun (the majority of the DO’s production is here), and the Alt-Penedès which rises to 800 meters on the fringes of the central meseta. LA ROSA 2017 || BLEND | 100% Sumoll VINEYARDS | Grapes from outlying Capella plot of the estate (the most remote). The soils here are primarily clay and limestone and very compact. Vineyards are farmed organically with biodynamic practices in place. WINEMAKING | This PÉT-NAT is made in the traditional method with no additives, stabilization or filtration.

Variedades De Vid En La Isla De Tenerife
CABILDO INSULAR DE TENERIFE VARIEDADES DE VID EN LA ISLA DE TENERIFE SERVICIO TÉCNICO DE CALIDAD Y VALORIZACIÓN AGROALIMENTARIA NOEL MACHÍN MARÍA HONTORIA JENNIFER LUIS CAROLINA GONZALO SEPTIEMBRE 2019 1. Introducción. El cultivo de la vid se introduce en las Islas Canarias tras su conquista y anexión a la corona de Castilla a finales del Siglo XV. El origen de los colonos que se asientan en las islas marca inicialmente la diversidad de variedades introducidas, procedentes de Castilla, Portugal o Madeira, por ejemplo. Algunas de estas variedades se extendieron y otras permanecieron confinadas en localizaciones concretas, donde han permanecido en condiciones de aislamiento. Tras el paso de la plaga de la filoxera (Dactylosphaera vitifoliae) por Europa, algunas de estas variedades pueden haber desaparecido de sus lugares de origen, por lo que sólo se conservarían en el archipiélago, e incluso sólo en lugares concretos de las islas. Por otra parte, durante estos quinientos años de existencia de la viticultura en las islas inevitablemente se han producido mutaciones y cruzamientos, por lo que deben existir variedades originarias de las islas. Todo ello unido a la gran diversidad de microclimas y suelos donde se cultiva la vid conlleva que el patrimonio varietal de las islas sea de gran interés. La vocación fundamental de los cultivos de vid de las Islas Canarias ha sido y es la elaboración de vinos, siendo el cultivo de uva de mesa testimonial. En el mercado actual del vino, las variedades propias, que aportan tipicidad a los vinos están muy bien valoradas, porque contribuyen a la diferenciación del producto, por ello es importante conocer sus características productivas y su potencial enológico.

Barcelona Is Much More
DISCOVER WINE TOURISM BARCELONA IS MUCH MORE DISCOVER THE JOYS OF WINE TOURISM Although it may seem a modern form of tourism, wine tourism has actually been popular in the Barcelona regions for some time. Back in the early 20th century, our grandparents visited the cellers in a covered trap that ran between the train station and the winery. Another popular custom was to go to a winery on public holidays, where, if you bought something, they would let you cook your own food. That's a thing of the past now and many wineries cater for organised tours, not just to promote their products, but also to familiarise visitors with the world of wine and cava. Some establishments, country houses and winery hotels offer programmes that enable visitors to join in with the work, enjoy wine therapy treatments and take part in tastings and pairings with wine as the star. And for those who like to keep moving, wine tourism offers the chance to do some hiking or cycling on signposted paths through vineyards a stone's throw from Barcelona. Thanks to all this, Barcelona is much more: a destination full of surprises! If you are a lover of fine wine or simply curious about them, you should know that Barcelona has five designations of origin: Penedès, Alella, Pla de Bages, Catalunya and Cava. Each of them produces high- quality wine and cava. At some wineries quality wine is coupled with beautiful PHOTOGRAPHS: architecture because they are Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia either Art Nouveau buildings Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia from the early 20th Century Vineyards, Vilassar de Dalt or avant-garde structures Mas de Sant Iscle, Sant Fruitós de Bages Caves Freixenet, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia designed by prestigious Vineyards, El Penedès architects.

La Historia Del Vino, Ligada Al Condado De Huelva, La
LA HISTORIA DEL VINO, LIGADA AL CONDADO DE HUELVA, LA CULTURA DE LA VID. Por la afinidad existente entre la vid y el hombre, ningún cultivo ha sellado con tan acusada personalidad a las tierras que le fueron propias, a los hombres y mujeres que a ella se entregaron, como el cultivo de la vid. Pintura mural egipcia del siglo XV ac, tumba de Nakht, Tebas La vid portadora de uvas, vitis vinífera, tiene un origen local impreciso, se atribuye al Cáucaso Meridional, entre Turquía, Armenia e Irán. En cualquier caso está científicamente demostrada la presencia de plantas cercanas al género botánico VITIS, como antepasadas de las actuales viníferas, en el occidente europeo durante el periodo micénico en la Era Terciaria, bajo la forma praevinífera; de ella, en el transcurso de los siglos, han ido evolucionando las distintas variedades afincadas en las diferentes zonas vitícolas. La historia de la viña se encuentra así, desde la más remota antigüedad, ligada a la de la mitología oriental. El dato más vetusto de que disponemos para pensar en el cultivo de la vid, en nuestra provincia, se remonta hacia los finales del tercer milenio en Mazagón, concretamente en "la laguna de Las Madres". Ello según los estudios realizados por expertos paleobotánicos, sobre la base de la gran concentración de polen detectada. Es a partir de estos estudios y dado el desacuerdo existente entre los investigadores sobre la introducción de la vitis vinífera en nuestra provincia, cuando deberíamos plantearnos el origen de nuestra viticultura, enlazando con la presencia fenicia donde se posee una mayor información.
