Amawayini aseSpain (Akhethiwe)

1. 2020 Gramona Mart Xarel·lo. Iwayini le-Organic rose. YENZA Penedes. Izinhlobonhlobo zamagilebhisi: Xarel-lo Rojo.

Umndeni wakwaGramona waqala ukungena ewayinini ngo-1850 ngenkathi u-Josep Batlle ephethe isivini somndeni wendawo. U-Pau Batlle (indodana kaJosep) wayesebhizinisini likakhokho wewayini futhi waqala ukuthengisa amagilebhisi namawayini enziwe nge-La Plana kubakhiqizi abakhazimulayo e-France ababebhekene nokucekelwa phansi kwe-phylloxera.

Ngo-1881, u-Pau wathenga isivini se-La Plana, waqala u-Celler Batlle eqaphela ukuthi i-Xarel.lo, igilebhisi lendabuko yaseCatalunya, yaba neqhaza ekuthengiseni kwakhe iwayini ngempumelelo e-France ngenxa yekhono layo lokwenza iwayini elidala elikhazimulayo. Namuhla izivini zisetshenziswa ngu-Bartomeu kanye no-Josep Lluis, besungula ama-cuvees lapho ifa eliqashelwa khona. 

Amawayini enziwe eGramona alinywa ngendlela engokwemvelo (CCPAE) kanti amahektha angama-72 afuywa nge-biodynamically (Demeter). Umndeni ukhuthaza ukusimama emikhiqizweni yawo ngokunciphisa i-carbon footprint yawo usebenzisa amandla e-geothermic kanye nokugaywa kabusha kwawo wonke amanzi asetshenziswa kule ndawo.

Amawayini asuka eGramona anesilinganiso eside sokuguga kunanoma yiliphi elinye iwayini elicwebezelayo laseSpain. Amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nesithupha amawayini acwebezelayo akhiqizwa eSpain akhululwa ngemva kwezinyanga ezingu-9 kuphela kuyilapho eGramona amawayini akhula okungenani izinyanga ezingu-30. Inhlabathi e-Alt Penedes ngokuyinhloko i-limestone yobumba kuyilapho inhlabathi eseduze nomfula i-Anoia ine-alluvial, futhi inhlabathi eseduze kwentaba yaseMontserrat iningi layo liyisileyile.

Ezivinini ezifuywa ngemvelo ze-Cavas Gramona, uhlobo olubomvu, i-Xarel-lo, lutshala amagilebhisi abanda ama-macerated amahora angu-48 ukuze kukhishwe i-rosy hue ethambile esikhumbeni. Lokhu kulandelwa ukuvutshelwa emathangeni ensimbi engagqwali ngaphansi kwamazinga okushisa alawulwayo. Kusukela emathangeni iwayini lingena ebhodleleni.

Emehlweni, obomvana ngokuphaphathekile namaphuzu avelele. Ikhala lijabulile ngesithelo esicashile nesisha, siveza ulwanga olubushelelezi, oluyindilinga, olumnene, olunomzimba ophakathi ne-asidi emaphakathi. Intekenteke ekhaleni nasolwangeni, inikeza ukusikisela kwepentshisi, ama-strawberry, ne-rhubarb. Isiphetho sinikeza i-acidity, kanye nokusha okunokusikisela okungapheli kukapelepele ophinki. Yenza i-aperitif ejabulisayo, futhi izofanelana ngokuphelele ne-tapas, i-Caribbean noma i-South American cuisine.

U-Mario Monros waqala i-Les Acacies njengendlela yokuzilibazisa yewayini encane ngo-2008 e-Avinyo (enyakatho ye-Bages Plateau) endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angu-500. Indawo yokwenza iwayini isabalele kumahektha ayi-11 ezungezwe amahlathi kaphayini, ama-oki, ama-oki ama-holm nezihlahlana (okungukuthi, i-rosemary ne-heather) nomfula i-Relat eduze nepulazi. Le phrojekthi yanda futhi yaba yingxenye ye-DO Pla de Bages (2016), ikhiqiza amanani amancane amawayini ekhwalithi ye-artisan.

Ngokuqokwa kwe-Origin Pla de Bages izitolo zewayini ziqhubeka nesiko lokukhulisa iwayini elaqala ngekhulu le-19 lapho isifunda sasiqukethe izivini eziningi eCatalonia. Izindawo zokukhiqiza iwayini ziphathwa kakhulu imindeni, futhi zonke zinesivini sazo, ziletha isiko, kanye nezinga lomuntu siqu lokunakekela emivinini okuholela kwikhwalithi enhle kakhulu yamawayini. Njengamanje kunezindawo zokukhiqiza iwayini eziyi-14 ezine-DO Pla de Bage.

I-Les Acacies isebenzisa inqubo ye-micro vinification evumela ukukhiqizwa kwenqwaba encane okuvumela indawo yokukhiqiza iwayini ukuthi izuze ukubonakaliswa okuhle kakhulu kwenhlobo ngayinye kanye ne-terroir yayo. Ukuvunwa kwamagilebhisi ngesandla ngemigqomo emincane; Amaphesenti angu-20 amagilebhisi aphelele aneziqu zamaphunga asemhlabeni namakha ahlanganisiwe. Igugile emathangeni ensimbi kanye namathangi usimende, ama-ovoid, nama-amphorae azungeza ama-tannins futhi andise amanothi ezimbali.

Uma ubheka iso, iplamu ebomvu enombala obomvana kuyilapho ikhala lithola isithelo esisha esibomvu esiqinile, nezimbali. Ulwanga lujabulela ama-tannins ahlanganisiwe anobumnandi obucashile. Bhanqa nesoseji elibabayo noma izinqamu zewundlu, noma amabhega.

I-Saulo inhlabathi eyisihlabathi esuselwa ekuboleni kwegwadle futhi isileti sibophezelekile ekuvuthweni kwewayini, e-tannic eyengeziwe kanye namawayini anamandla.

Emehlweni, iwayini liveza okuphuzi okucacile nokugqamile okunohlaza/igolide. Ikhala lithola okusawolintshi, namadwala amanzi kuyilapho ulwanga lujabulela usawoti omningi olindeleke kumaminerali e-Cap de Creus.

Igumbi elingaphansi komhlaba lakhiwe kusetshenziswa i-architecture eqhubekayo, futhi yaklanywa ngabakwa-Harquitectes (harquitectes.com, Barcelona). Yakhiwe ngezinto zemvelo, eziyisisekelo, nezihlala isikhathi eside, indawo emaphakathi ne-vault enkulu (yokuvubela) inezindonga eziwugqinsi kanye namakamelo omoya ukugcina isakhiwo esiyi-100 sinesiqandisi ngokwemvelo esinikeza ukuzinza okuphelele kwe-hydrothermal.

Amagilebhisi avunwa kabili: Agasti noSepthemba. Ivunwa ngesandla ngamacala ayi-12 kg, ngokukhethwa kokuqala kwamagilebhisi enziwe ensimini, kulandelwa ukukhethwa kwesibili endaweni yokukhiqiza iwayini. Amagilebhisi avela ezindaweni ezahlukene aqinisekiswa ngokuhlukana emazingeni okushisa alawulwayo emathangeni ensimbi engagqwali. Ukuvutshelwa kotshwala kwenziwa ezingeni lokushisa elilawulwayo.
