2021 Cyclic Tamri
WINEMAKER: Alberto y Joshua
REGION: Catalunya, SP
VARIETY: Trepat
VITICULTURE: Organic
100% Trepat - an indigenous grape to Catalunya - direct press to stainless steel tank for fermentation and élevage. Featherweight light at only 9.6% alc/vol. There's some depth to the fruit and nice texture in the mouth. A dangerously drinkable light red.
Brothers Alberto and Joshua founded Cyclic Beer Farm in 2016, focusing on the cultivation of mixed fermentation beers. Soon the brothers expanded this remit into fruit fermentations, ciders and wines.
Their fruit ferments and wines, inspired by their early days of home brewing and winemaking, are produced using only local, organically grown fruits, fermented naturally by the action of the wild yeasts present on their skins. Alberto and Joshua source their fruit from across beautiful Catalunya, and harvest by hand themselves, using many of same organic growers as used by Partida Creus and Emi Mutombo.
The brothers continually strive to experiment and as they grow in knowledge and experience, exploring the boundaries of their processes, seeking to employ novel methods and increase their use of locally sourced organic raw materials to create a singular drinking experience, indelibly linked to their locale. This new selection of wines shows the fruits of their experimentation, with easy drinking crowd pleasers and more nuanced wines that reward considerate drinking.
