{"product_id":"jorge-olivera-negiro-2023","title":"Jorge Olivera, Negiro 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eJorge comes from Coscojuela de Sobrarbe in Huesca, a picturesque village surrounded by nature at the foot of the Pyrenees. It was once home to many vineyards, but as in much of Spain, migration to cities, the abandonment of agriculture and a shift in priorities mean that very few of them are tended today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe planted his first vines in 2009 and spent over a decade refining his craft in relative obscurity, juggling his hobby with his work as a mechanical engineer. In 2022 he left his job to focus fully on wine, and since then, has quickly garnered a reputation for producing some of the most beautiful wines in all of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA first-generation grower, curiously Jorge is entirely self-taught, instead working backwards from decades of tasting his favourite wines, using his curiosity, intuition and undoubted talent to figure out what it is that makes them click and applying that to the fascinating varieties that grow around his mountain home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday he farms seven hectares of vines across small parcels set around six hundred metres above sea level, working organically with a great respect for nature. The soils are calcareous, and along with the elevation, they lend the wines an airy, luminous quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines are made in a small bodega he and his father dug into the hillside, which provides insulation during the long, hot summers. His work here is characterised by attention to detail and a real lightness of touch, with gentle extractions and élevage used to beautiful effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the breathtaking purity and beguiling texture of Jorge’s wines remind us of great mountainous wines from further afield, they carry a distinctly Spanish accent. Seasoned delicately with citrus, salt, earth and spice, they are truly one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNegiro 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA blend of the fascinating local variety, Moristel, and Garnacha from thirty year old vines planted over six hundred metres above sea level on silty, calcareous soils. The grapes were destemmed and the wine fermented on the skins for a fortnight, before being pressed to old barrels for a year of rest. A wine of gorgeous ruby colour, it is featherweight on the palate but full of nuance, offering complex notes of blackberry, wildflowers and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wright's Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56519062061442,"sku":null,"price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1554\/5853\/files\/jorge-olivera-negiro-962x700.png?v=1774869501","url":"https:\/\/wrightswine.co.uk\/products\/jorge-olivera-negiro-2023","provider":"Wright's Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
