Tasting Notes
Essentially, these are cold soil wines, from shallow, low nutrient limestone/sandstone enriched by a little clay. Sweet and sour, or agrodulce is a common thread. The wines ripple with acidic energy and feature the soft smell of sandstone. Fruit teas - think Russian Caravan and Bergamot are common flavour metaphors.
The soils reflect in the cold juniper and cold clay dirt on the nose, with faded strawberry, waxflower, pistachio and dusty sandstone. The palate features intense white cherry and cape gooseberry, is soft, earthy and savoury with enough fruit brightness to march along in the mouth. Excellent, gentle acid definition. - Importer Note
Abeica is a family estate in Ábalos, nestled up in the high slopes between Haro and Laguardia, below the Cantabrian mountains. We’ve been staking out this village for a few years now, and are delighted to finally welcome you here. The wines of Abeica are characterful, easy and charming.
Abeica wine co is right now a blend of 4th and 5th generations: brothers-sisters Isabel (currently the titular winemaker), with Pachi and Raul; working with two of their nephews, cousins Ricardo and David.
