2019 Vinos del Viento Rosé Campo de Borja

SKU #1468608 88-90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Just before it was bottled, I tasted a sample of the new 2019 Rosé produced with Garnacha from Campo de Borja. It's a very pale pink and has a perfumed nose with notes of flowers and white fruit. They harvested early and achieved a wine of 14% alcohol (a bit high for my liking), denoting a warm and dry year, but the wine feels in balance. It's quite bright, with delicate aromas of dried flowers, subtle and elegant. The palate is tasty, with pungent flavors and good depth. It was kept with fine lees for two months.

Vinous

Outer quote mark Vivid orange-pink. Shows a strong, smoky reductive to its redcurrant, raspberry and blood orange aromas and flavors. Opens up with air while taking on a hint of spiciness. A subtle peach note emerges on the supple finish, which echoes the red fruit note. (JR) Inner quote mark (6/2020)

K&L Notes

Vinos del Viento is our most recent addition to our Direct import portfolio from Spain. It is a project that focuses on Garnacha and Cariñena (Grenache and Carignan) from Aragon, the ancestral home of both varietals. All of the DO’s of Aragon are represented in the portfolio; Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Carinena, and Somontano. Winemaker Michael Cooper, who is a native to California, looks for purity and freshness in his wine. To do so he has sought out older vineyards that are found at higher elevations. The youngest vines are 35 years old and the oldest are 99 and the lowest elevation in 1,800 feet. These are wines for everyday, and priced accordingly. They are not simple wines, but they are delicious, and if you are looking for no more than that, these wines are hard to beat. If you want more, the wines speak of the varietals and regions with some depth and complexity. Named after the winds that temper the region’s warm climate, these wines are a bridge from the old world to the new, perfectly representing a Californian making Spanish wines.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Grenache

- Fat, ripe and rich with ample fruit and vibrant acidity, wines made from Grenache are easy to love. While its origins are still under dispute - some suggest Spain, where it is called Garnacha, while others say it came first from Sardinia, where it is called Cannonau - it is inarguably one of the most planted varietals in the world. A hearty grape, Grenache does well in hot, dry regions and its sturdy stalk also makes it well-suited to withstand blustery conditions like the Provençal Mistral. It ripens at relatively high sugar levels, which translates to higher potential alcohol in the wines it produces. Grenache may be most famous in the Southern Rhône areas such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas where it has long been an important component of delicious blends. But it's also the source of the crisp rosés from Tavel, Lirac and Provence, and age-worthy vins doux naturels like Rivsaltes and Banyuls. Grenache is also found in large swaths of northeastern Spain, in Navarre, in Rioja, where it plays a supporting role in blends with Tempranillo, and in the distinctive wines of Priorat. The grape was once the most widely planted varietal in Australia, though Shiraz and Cabernet have overtaken it. In California, Grenache plantings have dwindled from their heyday in the San Joaquin Valley, but it is starting to see a resurgence, albeit in smaller plantings, where other Rhône varietals thrive.

Country:

Spain

- With more land under vine than any other country in the world, Spain is the great sleeping wine giant. In recent years, a great deal of money and passion has been poured in the burgeoning Spanish wine industry, helping to improve quality among its vast array of wines from sparkling Cava to Sherry to Rioja Gran Reserva. The most important red-wine-producing regions are Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Navarra in the north and Priorat and Penedes in the northeast.
