2022 Vinos Pijoan "El Carbónico", Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico
Ever wondered what natural wine is all about? This vibrant Valle de Guadalupe blend is the perfect place to start: whole-cluster carbonic maceration (the Beaujolais method), hand-harvested and bottled with no fining, no filtration and no added SO2. Young, energetic, neon-bright and maximally gulpable.
Tasting Notes
"Funky and spicy from the Syrah, fruity from the Grenache and hit with a distinct herbaceousness from the Tempranillo. It carries that classic Valle salinity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. Pair with street tacos, grilled octopus or spicy chorizo." — Harvest Wine Shop
