Location: Spain, Utiel Requena
Winemaker: John House
Grapes: 90% Bobal, 10% Tempranillo
Soil: Clay based with limestone
Winemaking: Varying elevations means harvest can start in mid-September, and linger into the first of November. Certain lots in lower elevations are allowed to whole cluster ferment, but most of the Bobal in Aula comes from higher elevations where de-stemming makes more sense for better extraction and a healthier fermentation in stainless steel.
From the Importer La Luz Selections: Kiki & Juan are fun, organic wines in 1 Liter bottles that are all about supporting the farmers La Luz works with throughout Iberia.
“Kiki” uses her longstanding relationships with grape growers in Spain to find the organic vineyards that will go into Kiki & Juan.
With his low-intervention winemaking background at OVUM Wines, John House aka “Juan” focuses on making Kiki & Juan a close reflection of it’s vineyards and vintage as possible.
Native fermentation in cement, amphora and stainless steel + nothing added except sulfur - our goal with Kiki & Juan Wines is to make simple, fresh wines from old fashioned techniques. Old vine Bobal grown in the high elevations of Utiel Requena is the foundation of our tinto. Bobal is perfectly suited to make fresh red wines with bright aromatics of sour cherry, framboise and juniper.
Kiki & Juan Tinto is ready to be chilled for a poolside hang, or a night of tapas, or when you just need a fresh glass of red wine on the back porch. Salud!
