Tonight, four wines, four different countries. We are starting, as we always do on Friday nights, with some fizz. In this instance, the fizz in the form of a light, earthy, low alcohol (11.5% ABV) red mourvèdre from Roussillon with no added sulfites. Next, a Chilean orange wine made, oddly enough (ok, it is really not all that odd) from pink muscatel and torontel (aka torrontes) macerated on the skin for two months with a bit of país (aka mission aka listán prieto) juice added for good measure—these are from really, really old co-planted vines, and at 200 years some of the very oldest we have had at the shop. Then, another delightfully low ABV verdejo negro, a grape not related to verdejo but a unique and long-established Asturian biotype of trousseau (note: there are over ten other grape varieties in this wine, too.
