Wine With Wanda

Say Hola to Somontano, Spain with the Wines of ENATE

Jesús Artajona Serrano has been the winemaker at ENATE since it was founded in 1992. 

Traveling by trains, planes, and automobiles may be a risky proposition in this age of social distancing, but you can still explore the world through wine. I recently took a joyful journey to Somontano, Spain, with ENATE winemaker Jesús Artajona Serrano on Instagram Live.

Somontano is located in northeastern Spain, south of the Pyrenees, on the natural border with France. I first visited Somontano in 2017 and have been there three times; I fell in love with the wines, the landscapes, and the people. Somontano has a rich winemaking history, and unlike many Spanish regions that are closely associated with a specific indigenous variety, Somontano has gained acclaim for their prowess with international varieties.

Click the video above, or watch my conversation with Jesús on IGTV or YouTube. Founded in 1992, ENATE is a modern and environmentally friendly winery, and celebrating art is an integral part of ENATE's vision; they describe themselves as the place "Where Art and Wine Become One." ENATE's wine bottles are adorned with labels designed by well-known contemporary artists, and the winery has an impressive art gallery. During my chat with Jesús, we tasted the 2019 vintage of ENATE Chardonnay 234 ($13.99) and 2015 ENATE Crianza Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon ($15).

When asked what foods to pair with the wines, Jesùs said that the most important thing is "a good partner in front of you, in a good ambiance, and conviviality." We also discussed ENATE's commitment to environmentally-friendly winemaking, and Jesús stated that "sustainability is not a virtue, it is a duty." And what inspired Jesús to become a winemaker? Jesús had planned on a career in chemistry, but when he was twenty-years-old, he fell in love with a beautiful young French woman and decided to study enology in Bordeaux. Chemistry of a different sort!

Tasting Notes


2019 ENATE Chardonnay 234 ($13.99) 
Label by artist Pepe Cerdá

Very aromatic with notes of green apple, ripe peach, and a hint of tropical pineapple, and guava. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it is impressively rich and round without sacrificing crispness. Bright acidity and a hint of salinity. A delicious and well-balanced Chardonnay.



2015 ENATE Crianza Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon ($15) 
Label by artist Victór Mira
Ripe red fruit flavors on the nose and palate with a hint of smoke and spice. Full and juicy with a touch of warm toast.

The World in Your Wine Glass: 5 Sensational Sips from Spain

The COVID-19 pandemic may have put the kibosh on travel, but don’t let it stifle your wanderlust. Cocooned in my Manhattan living room, wine helps me to maintain a connection to the soul and soil of places that I love and to get acquainted with places I’ve yet to explore. Spain holds a special place in my heart. I studied in Barcelona and Toledo and those two years abroad changed my life in countless ways. From home-cooked meals lovingly prepared by my host family to tipsy tapas crawls with friends, Spain was my true introduction to the culinary and cultural importance of wine. During this time of social distancing, take your palate on an adventure to España. Stay safe, stay home, sip the world!


Ànima Negra “Quíbia” 2018 ($20)
Fresh and crisp, with a hint of sexy salinity, Ànima Negra “Quíbia” 2018 is an off-the-beaten-path sip from the island of Mallorca. A blend of the indigenous grapes Callet, Premsal, and Muscat-Giró, it is a beautifully balanced white wine with loads of texture and finesse. I visited Mallorca many years ago and this wine brought back memories of its azure Mediterranean waters and balmy breezes.


 
Pagos del Galir Godello 2018 ($21)
Say hola to Godello! This gorgeous sip from the Valdeorras DO in Galicia, Spain is no wimpy white wine. Round and juicy, Pagos del Galir Godello 2018 has flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, white melon, and a sassy touch of salinity. If you’ve never tasted Godello, this is a lovely introduction.

Baron de Ley Varietales Tempranillo Rioja 2017 ($11)
This charmer from Rioja has round and rich red fruit flavors that are balanced by a hint of spice and earth. Juicy with great acidity and a long finish, this is a lovely wine at a fantastic price.



Bodegas LAN "Culmen" Reserva Rioja 2011 ($69)
Ready to splurge? Yes, Culmen is on the pricier side, but this special wine is worth it. First produced in 1994, the Latin name Culmen was chosen to signal that this wine is a culmination of fine winemaking, a wine at the apex of authenticity and elegance. A blend of 88% Tempranillo and 12% Graciano from a single parcel of old vines that are 40-60 years old, Culmen Reserva 2011 was aged for 26 months in new French oak barrels yet retains an impressive freshness and vitality. Constantly evolving in the glass, Culmen takes your palate on a journey. Sultry red and black fruit flavors and accents of spice, licorice, earth, and smoke make Culmen a complete and captivating wine experience.

Harveys Bristol Cream Solera Sherry ($17)
Although Harveys Bristol Cream has been around since 1882 and is the best-selling Sherry in the world, I had never tasted it until recently. Well, this oldie but goodie is quite the little charmer. Sweet but not sticky, it has gorgeous nutty flavors along with rich flavors of figs, honey, raisin, caramel, and toffee. A sweet ending to a day of social distancing!

A Tantalizing and True Taste of Rioja: The Wines of Beronia

I first met Beronia winemaker and technical director Matías Calleja when he visited New York City but to begin to understand him, I had to walk the vineyards and touch the soil in Rioja, Spain. In Rioja, the soft-spoken Matías revealed another layer of his personality -- the intense passion that drives this native son to make wines that express the richness of his homeland. Energetic with a wicked sense of humor, Matías has been at Beronia since 1982, an especially impressive tenure when you consider that Beronia was founded in 1973. 


Rioja is Spain's preeminent wine region and Beronia has played an important role in it's increased recognition for quality wines and innovation. One of Matías's forward-thinking contributions is his creative use of barrels that combine French and American oak for a selection of their wines. 95% of the wines produced by Beronia are red and designed for long aging and the right oak is a crucial component in encouraging longevity. Using barrels made up of American staves and French tops allows Matías to extract the best qualities of each: the intensity of the American oak's cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut flavors are balanced by the subtlety of the French oak's clove and black pepper flavors. 

During my visit, I raced to keep up with Matías as he showed us the 32,000 barrels of wine that were in Beronia's cellars at that time. Those wines were elegantly aging and resting but there's no shortage of Beronia bottles ready for you to take them home.

And it's no surprise that Beronia's wines are incredibly food-friendly: the winery was founded by six Basque friends who loved to spend time in Rioja, wining and dining. Beronia honors this legacy by supporting the tradition of Basque gastronomic societies known as Txokos. Why not gather some friends together to cook a meal paired with a delicious glass of Beronia Rioja? The three wines listed below all showcase elegant fruit flavors that are harmonious with the oak but increase in complexity due to extended aging times. Tempranillo, the queen grape of Rioja, is the leading lady in each of these wines but is supported by small amounts of other native grapes, such as Mazuelo and Graciano. 

Beronia Crianza 2016 ($14.99)
Approachable and fresh but not wimpy, Crianza was aged for 12 months in Beronia's special mixed oak barrels made of American staves and French tops. A fantastic everyday wine with lively red fruit flavors and hints of vanilla, suggested pairings include slices of delicious Spanish jamón and other charcuterie.

Beronia Reserva 2014 ($19.99)
Crafted from a selection of the best grapes from the oldest vineyards, the influence of the oak is more prominent in the Reserva because it was aged for 20 months in combo American & French oak barrels. Another 18 months in the bottle before release adds to its balance and complexity. Rich fruit flavors are enhanced by hints of warm cinnamon and vanilla. A fantastic match with steak, roasts, and game. 

Beronia Gran Reserva 2010 ($29.99)
This bold and graceful wine shows how beautifully Beronia's wines age. Full of life, Gran Reserva is made from the best grapes from the oldest vineyards and was aged for 28 months in French oak barrels and an additional 36 months in bottle prior to release. Silky and luscious, it is an intriguing tapestry of fruit, spice, and herbal flavors. A winning match with your finest roast and mature cheeses. 


And if you need further proof that Beronia's wines age gracefully, I tasted this bottle from their very first vintage in 1973 and it was exceptional. If a friend has this bottle in their cellar, be extra nice so they share it with you.



If your travels take you to Rioja, Beronia welcomes guests for tours and tastings. Trust me, you'll love it. 

Mixed Barrels & Pure Passion: Beronia Winemaker Matías Calleja Innovates in Rioja

Was it destiny? Beronia winemaker Matías Calleja was born to a winemaking family in Ollauri, the historic town in La Rioja where Beronia is located. Matías has completed 36 harvests at Beronia! 

Winemaker Matías Calleja is endearingly modest when he talks about his impressive career. Considered one of Rioja's innovators, Matías has been at the acclaimed Beronia winery since 1982 and became Technical Director in 1996 -- that's pretty impressive considering that the winery was founded in 1973. His long tenure at Beronia has had a definitive impact not only on their wines but on winemaking throughout Rioja and all of Spain. Matías balances his technical know-how with authentic passion and humbly says, "Everyday I enjoy my job. I enjoy making wine."

It's hard to fathom but there was a time when Spanish cuisine and wines were not as celebrated abroad as they are now. Having lived in Spain in my younger years, I can say that it was frustrating when I returned back to the US and couldn't find authentic expressions of the flavors that I had grown to love. Of course, times have changed and you'd be hard pressed to find an American food-loving city that doesn't have a first-rate tapas bar with a great Spanish wine list. In the old days, Spanish wines had a reputation for being more rustic than elegant but Beronia has been one of the leaders in elevating the quality of Spanish wines without obliterating their authenticity.

Located in the north of Spain, Rioja is the country's preminent wine region and is divided into three distinct sections: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Alta. Beronia's vineyards are concentrated in the heart of Rioja Alta and experience a mainly Atlantic climate along with various micro-climates. The soils have a balanced structure of sand, sediments, clay and other qualities that make them ideal for the production of quality wines.

But one of the most distinctive traits of Beronia's winemaking style is what I call "The Matías Method" for barrel aging. Why choose a barrel made exclusively from French or American oak, when you can combine both? 95% of the wines produced by Beronia are red and designed for long aging. Matías, a self-proclaimed oak enthusiast, pioneered combining French and American oak in one barrel to achieve optimal aging results for a selection of their wines. The Matías Method of aging reds in barrels made up of American staves and French tops is a hallmark of the Beronia Style. American oak tends to be more intensely flavored and contributes oaky flavors such as cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut. French oak imbues the wines with more subtle and pungent spicy notes like clove and black pepper and Matías believes that it "respects the fruit more." Combined together in this clever fashion, the two very different oaks balance and enhance each other. 


My recent tasting of Beronia included a barrel sample and showed how oak selection influences their wines. 

When we talk about Rioja reds, Tempranillo is la reina (the queen) and occupies more than 75% of the region's vineyards. In younger wines, Tempranillo's fresh & fruity nature are its main appeal but the grape also has the structured needed to grow more complex during many years of barrel and bottle aging.


Beronia Reserva 2013 ($19.99) is mostly Tempranillo (95%) with kisses of Graciano (4%) and Mazuelo (1%). Crafted from a selection of the best grapes from the oldest vineyards, Beronia Reserva 2013 was aged in mixed French & American oak barrels for 20 months and aged in bottle for another 18 months before release. That's a lot of serious, creative, and meticulous winemaking at a very affordable price! A captivating shade of deep cherry red, the winemaker's notes describe it as "On the nose complex aromas of black fruits, above all blackberry. It also shows a great bouquet of spices with cinnamon standing out and notes of cedar on the finish. On the palate smooth with sweet and round tannins. Great balance between acidic fruit and oak. Fresh, structured, and complex with a long aftertaste."



Beronia Gran Reserva 2009 ($29.99) takes it to the next level. 98% Tempranillo with a besito of Graciano (2%); shows Matías's flexibility and precision as a winemaker. For the Gran Reserva, he opted to age the wine exclusively in new French oak for 28 months, not mixed barrels, and an additional 36 months in the bottle. Silky and bold but not aggressive, the winemaker's notes say "Beronia Gran Reserva 2009 shows a deep intense maroon color. On the nose intense and complex with dried fruits and plums standing out over chocolate and sweet spice. On the palate structured and full showing black chocolate and tobacco. This wine shows great personality with a full body, elegance, and freshness." 



Reds may rule in Rioja but Beronia brings the same level of passion and innovation to their white wine Beronia Rueda 2017($12.99). Crafted from 100% Verdejo grapes from two different harvests in the same vineyard that were vinified separately, it has a perfect balance of crisp freshness and nuanced complexity. Rich and aromatic but very refreshing, the winemaker's notes say "Beronia Rueda 2017 is pale yellow in color with greenish tints. Intensely aromatic, it displays notes of citrus and white fruit along with herbaceous aromas that are typical of the grape variety, such as fennel. Richly textured on the palate, it is fresh and elegant, with a slight touch of bitterness on the finish, also characteristic of the Verdejo grape."

      

In 1982, Beronia was integrated into the highly regarded González Byass wine family but has retained its unique Beronia style. Tasting wine and sharing laughs with Matías, during his recent visit to Manhattan, transported me back to Spain for a few wonderful hours. This conviviality is truly in the DNA of their wines - Beronia was founded by six friends from the Basque country who loved to wine & dine together while vacationing in Rioja. Elegant, authentic, and creative; Beronia's beautiful wines are made for sharing and bringing people together.

Legacy & Luxury in Spain's Duero Valley: Abadía Retuerta Has Perfected the Elegant Wine Lifestyle

Enrique Valero absolutely loves his job. And who can blame him? As CEO of Abadía Retuerta Winery & Managing Director of LeDomaine, Enrique oversees an acclaimed winery, luxury hotel, spa, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. Without a doubt, his job is demanding but Enrique absolutely glows when he describes the many wonders of the estate's 1730 acres in the heart of Spain's Duero Valley.

Not only committed to crafting exceptional wines, Abadía Retuerta also respects the tremendous cultural and architectural legacy of their estate. The property's luxury hotel, Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine, opened in 2012 after a meticulous restoration of the estate's 12th century medieval abbey. LeDomaine guests are surrounded by a compelling combination of traditional ambiance and modern amenities.

For example, the abbey’s original dining hall, with a vaulted Gothic ceiling and a 17th-century fresco, is now a temple of haute cuisine and home to the estate's Michelin-starred restaurant, Refectorio. An old stable was elegantly transformed into the luxurious Santuario Wellness & Spa; where the innovative services include a Spa Sommelier that designs personalized treatments based on guest preferences in Abadiá Retuerta wines.  

Refectorio Restaurant is housed in the abbey's original dining hall and has one Michelin star.

Devotion to the vine and winemaking is an integral part of this land's history and Abadía Retuerta follows in the footsteps of the medieval monks that preceded them. Their philosophy is based on winemaking by plot because the composition of the soil of each of Abadía Retuerta's 54 plots is different. From clay to gravel, sand to limestone, each plot is planted with only one grape variety, which has been carefully selected to extract the best qualities of the terroir.

 Even if a trip to Spain is not in your immediate future, you can experience a bit of the magic of Abadía Retuerta with one of their beautifully made wines. 



Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial Sardon de Duero (around $29.99) is their best-known wine around the world and for very good reason! A blend of their best Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah grapes; it is a rich yet balanced vino with expressive fruit, herbal, and spice flavors. A beautiful introduction to the Abadía Retuerta style. 



Tempranillo is considered by many to be Spain's most noble grape and Abadía Retuerta Pago Negralada Tempranillo (around $95) is a single vineyard wine that beautifully captures the unique qualities of its terroir. These Tempranillo vines are planted in deep gravel soils intermixed with sand at the surface and produce wines described as having a "distinctive firm, tannic character". This seductive vino is silky and smooth with a rich tapestry of flavors: strawberry, licorice, herbs, and minerals. 



Abadía Retuerta Le Domaine Blanco de Guarda (around $40)
Hailing from a land of reds, this unique white wine has enough structure and complexity to age for years. Blanco de Guarda is Abadía Retuerta's first white wine and is quite impressive. Crafted from mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a kiss of Verdejo and other white varieties, it is an intriguing medley of flavors: citrus, floral, mineral, and spice. A substantial and textured wine that still retains crispness and freshness after several years. (I tasted the impressive 2012 but newer vintages are available.)

For the Love of Land & Family: Ribera del Duero Shines in the Wines of Bodegas Emilio Moro

 

José Moro, president of Bodegas Emilio Moro, was clearly destined to be the ambassador for his family's iconic winery in Ribera del Duero, Spain. Meeting José, I was immediately captivated by his charm and larger-than-life energy, he doesn't just have a twinkle in his eye, he has a bonfire!

image courtesy of Bodegas Emilio Moro 

I felt transported as José shared stories of how his grandfather and father (both named Emilio) had dedicated their lives to the family's vineyards which were first planted in 1932 (the year of his grandfather's birth). Even during the hardships of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), the Moro family nurtured their vines as others ripped them out to plant food crops. José grew up with an intimate understanding of vineyard life and as a small child he even cleaned the insides of casks by candlelight!


Representing the 4th and 3rd generations of the Moro family, Alberto Medina Moro and his uncle José are a charming duo. 

José and his three siblings take their responsibilities as the third-generation very seriously and have instilled this pride in the next. José's nephew, Alberto, is enthusiastically representing the family business in the United States. 

Image courtesy of Bodegas Emilio Moro 

The Moro family's tenacity has paid off and their wines are regarded as some of the finest in Ribera del Duero. Located in central Spain in the region of Castilla y León, about 2 hours north of Madrid, Ribera del Duero is a dry region with extreme temperatures. The terroir is ideal for Tinto Fino, a variety of Tempranillo that has adapted to the unique conditions of Ribera del Duero. José described Tinto Fino grapes as having smaller berries than Tempranillo and thicker skins. Wines produced from Tinto Fino are generally big and bold with excellent aging potential. Emilio Moro wines are 100% Tinto Fino and beautifully balance power with strength and suppleness. Unlike many other wineries that use the designations of Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva to indicate how long a wine has been aged, Emilio Moro abandoned this criteria in 1998. José said "for us, it is not a matter of barrel aging but the terroir." So instead of following arbitrary aging rules, Emilio Moro wines remain in the barrel for the amount of time needed for each wine to develop the desired character and expression of the vintage.  


Finca Resalso 2016 ($18.99) 
Named after their historic vineyard, Finca Resalso, which was planted in 1932, the label on this bottle depicts the third-generation of the Moro family in an endearing vintage photo from 1964. 100% Tinto Fino, the wine was made from grapes from their youngest vines (5-12 years old) and aged 4 months in French oak. Full and fruity with ripe blackberry and black currant flavors. 



Emilio Moro 2015 ($25)
100% Tinto Fino, this elegant red is named is crafted from vines 12-25 years old and ages for 12 months in French and American oak barrels before bottling. More intense in color and flavor, this bold red has seductive flavors of rich black fruit with a touch of balsamic, lively acidity, and a delightful long finish.  

Malleolus 2014 ($45)

A wine of tremendous finesse and agility that shows Tinto Fino's full range of expression, Malleolus is crafted from 100% Tinto Fino grapes from vines with 25-75 years of age. The name Malleolus has its roots in Latin and means small vineyard (majuelo). Aged for 18 months in Allier French oak barrels before bottling, this wine all about elegant intensity. Intense color, intense intense flavor, intense finish. An unabashedly sexy wine, Malleolus is silky, spice, juicy, and each sip reveals more nuance and intrigue. An easy wine to fall in love with and be warned that it may cause those you share it with to fall a bit in love with you! 

Malleolus de Valderramiro 2011 ($129)
A superb expression of the Valderramiro vineyard plot that was planted in 1924, only 7,000 bottles of this exquisite 100% Tinto Fino vino were produced. This vino puts the full power and finesse of Tinto Fino on display. Ripe and luscious fruit are taken to a higher level with elegantly integrated flavors of spice, cocoa, tobacco, and earth. This wine evolves beautifully in the glass. A wine to savor with someone special. 



Gracias to José for taking the time to share his family's wines with me. So many of us reflexively reach for Rioja when we select a wine from Spain but Emilio Moro elegantly shows that Ribera del Duero is a different, but just as valid and compelling, expression of Tempranillo. I loved the character, range and unabashed boldness of these Emilio Moro wines, a boldness that never sacrificed elegance and subtlety. I think my next trip to Spain will have to include a wine tasting at Emilio Moro. José also told me that he plays guitar and cooks delicious lamb - sounds divine!

If you're planning a trip to Spain, consider a visit to Emilio Moro for a tour and tasting. Until then, add some Ribero del Duero flair to your everyday life with their wines. And when you select a bottle of Bodegas Emilio Moro wine, you are supporting a socially conscious company that funds innovative clean water programs around the world. Salud! 

 

 

Say Sí to the Wines of Navarra: A "New" Taste of Spain

Navarra may not have the name recognition of their winemaking hermanos in Rioja, but the region produces an abundance of wonderful vino. Located in the north of Spain, the vineyards of Navarra span the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains to the Ebro River Basin and the Bardenas Reales Desert. This diversity of terroir and micro-climates makes Navarra naturally suited to produce a wide variety of wine styles - from refreshing whites & rosés to complex & bold reds.

I was recently invited to learn more about the wines of Navarra at a fantastic seminar led by enthusiastic experts April Cullom and Robin Kelley O'Connor. April said that "Spain is about food, wine, and fun" and Navarra certainly embodies this attitude. Known as the garden of Spain because of its exquisite produce and cheeses, Navarra has a rich culinary tradition and the wines are absolutely food-friendly. A cultural treasure, Navarra has inspired countless artists and authors like Ernest Hemingway (The Sun Also Rises). Right outside Navarra's capital city of Pamplona (yes, THAT Pamplona where the legendary running of the bulls takes place), lie the vineyards along the iconic medieval pilgrimage route Camino de Santiago. In fact, during the late Middle Ages, Navarra's wines were praised by those making the pilgrimage. And today Navarra offers quality wines at amazingly affordable prices. Are you ready to explore the wines of Navarra? 


Vega Sindoa Chardonnay 2015 ($9) is a great introduction to the Navarra style. The region's historical ties to France led to an early introduction of French varietals so Chardonnay is quite prevalent. Quite aromatic, this dry and refreshing white wine has lively flavors of citrus, apple, and pineapple. Zippy acidity make this unoaked vino a great aperitivo and a lovely match with light salads and seafood. 


Of course, no discussion of Spanish wines is complete without discussing the most famous red - Tempranillo. Vega Sindoa Tempranillo 2015 ($9) is fresh but surprisingly nuanced for a wine that is so young and affordable. Flavors of bright cherry are revved up by hints of plum and licorice. Vega Sindoa wines are produced by Bodegas Nekeas. Located in the valley of Valdizarbe, the northernmost wine-growing district of Navarra, their vineyards are influenced by the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It is considered one of Spain's finest areas for the production of wine & olive oil.



Vega del Castillo Capa Roja Tempranillo 2013 ($10) offers a different expression of Tempranillo - earthy with fruity flavors of cherry and tomato that are perked up with a hint of anis. The roots of Bodegas Vega del Castillo can be traced back to 1910 as Spain's first cooperative winery. Their vineyards are located in different sites of Navarra's Lower Mountain and Upper River regions, which allows them to produce a variety of wine styles. 


A robust and juicy red, Vega del Castillo Garnacha Cepas Viejas 2014 ($8) is a lovely expression of Garnacha. Produced from their oldest vines, many over 60 years old, the wine is full yet soft with flavors of ripe dark fruit and hints of peppery spice. An incredibly balanced and nuanced wine for such an affordable price. A delicious match with pasta, a burger, roast chicken, or chorizo. 

Whatever your preference, chances are that Navarra produces a wine that you'll enjoy! To learn more about Navarra and its winemakers, visit the Wines of Navarra website. Cheers!
