Paratges Singulars

Three plots, two bottles of each.

Three wines from a single plot or site, two bottles of each: one to drink now and one to compare or keep, because these wines age well in bottle. Panxut is 100% Bonicaire from one site (Gosgorrobio, 550 m), fermented with stems in an open barrel and aged 12 months in a concrete egg. L'Arenal comes from L'Arenal de Pola, beside the Clariano river (550 m): 90% Monastrell with Bonicaire, Garnacha and Malvasía, aged in egg, barrels and foudre. Alt de les Flors is the 2.60 ha plot at La Lloma Rasa, 95% Monastrell, 8 months in foudre and 4 in concrete egg. Three different soils (sandy-loam limestone, silty-sandy over a limestone crust, and albariza) and three ways of ageing, all in Ontinyent.

€149.90 for the 6 bottles: €24.98 on average. Bought separately they add up to €159.70 (Panxut €24.95, L'Arenal €20.95, Alt de les Flors €33.95, two of each); the pack costs €9.80 less. With this pack standard shipping is free (orders from €120).

What's in the pack

2× Panxut 2024

red · 100% Bonicaire

Clean cherry-red colour with slight violet hues. Frank, direct nose —cherries, wild strawberries, floral notes— with a herbaceous touch typical of sandy-limestone soils at 550 m altitude. Pure, elegant palate of great freshness, fine tannins and lively acidity. 8 months in a 500 L cask that refines the fruit without covering it. Bonicaire in its most honest state. 92 pts Robert Parker.

red · 90% Monastrell

Deep purple-red colour. Nose of ripe black fruit, cherries in jam, smoky notes and a light minerality. Powerful, opulent palate, medium-to-full body, ripe tannins and warmth. Persistent, spicy finish. A single-plot Monastrell accompanied by Bonicaire, Arcos, Garnacha and Merseguera.

2× Alt de les Flors 2024

red · 95% Monastrell

Pale cherry red, surprisingly translucent. Fresh, mineral nose — red fruit, violets, notes of white stone and warm terroir —, unexpected in a Mediterranean area. Broad yet fresh palate, fine and very clean tannins, present acidity. Monastrell from 1946 vines on very white limestone soils (albariza) at 90% varietal representation: a wine that breaks all the clichés of the variety. 94 pts Robert Parker.

The producer

Can LeandroGabriel Sanchis

Ontinyent · Terres dels Alforins · Vall d'Albaida · ValenciaMinimal InterventionD.O. Valencia

Gabriel Sanchis makes wine in Ontinyent from native varieties of the Vall d'Albaida and Terres dels Alforins. From his small winery come authentic wines from almost-vanished native varieties. Wines that are anything but casual, and that from the outset are a total statement: of the identity of the terroir, of the characteristics of the variety and of their personality as the young growers and winemakers they are.
