Item # 42520 750mL

Perdigon comes from a parcel of young Pinot Noir at 300 m on limestone in Castellon, close to the Mediterranean 100 km north of Valencía, along with a small amount of old bush vine Garnacha Tintorera which Alfredo uses for his Amanda rosado. Grapes are hand-harvested and direct pressed into steel vat for primary fermentation and bottled before fermentation goes completely dry in the método ancestral style (a Pét-Nat), without any fining, filtering or SO2, finishing secondary fermentation on fine lees for 9 months. This comes from grapes from the greater Castilla y Léon region in northwestern Spain.

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...
