Cesar Marquez Parajes Red
$34.99
César Marquez Perez has deep roots in Bierzo. His family founded the Castro Ventosa winery in 1752 and they still own it today. Thanks to that long history, he has access to many of the top sites in the region. He has grown up in the vines and wineries in Bierzo and has learned from his elders, including his uncle Raul Perez. And now he has his own project. He launched his solo project in 2015 with 4 wines. Today he makes 7 wines from 6 HA of 80 to 120-year-old vines.
He is a part of the new wave of Spanish vignerons who know the greater world of wine and also have a respect for and connection to the land around him. He is finding old vines in uniques sites and vinifying them separately to showcase the ability of Mencía to transmit terroir. He is structuring his lineup of wines in Burgundian fashion - appellation wine, village wine, and single vineyard wines. He is farming organically. He is using partial whole cluster, reductive winemaking and low sulphur. He is making wines that are not just great for Bierzo or Spain, but that stand alongside the best wines from any region or country.

Producer Description
"This whisky is honed and inspired by the finest and most spectacular location of any distillery in Scotland – The Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
Whisky is a natural product and we’ve ensured this is reflected in the way we operate. Uniquely in the whisky industry, all the power and heat requirements for the Ardnamurchan Distillery come from local renewables – the river that provides the distillery’s cooling water has a hydro-electricity generator and the biomass boiler is fuelled by woodchip from local forestry – the overall footprint of the distillery is a light one.
In addition, the by-products of the whisky-making process are recycled on the peninsula – the still energy-rich draff (what is left in the mash tun) is combined with the pot ale to produce animal feed for the use on the peninsula."
