Montecastro Ribera 2022

Montecastro Ribera 2022 is het visitekaartje van Bodegas y Viñedos Montecastro, hoog in de heuvels van Ribera del Duero, waar Tinto Fino de hoofdrol speelt onder de technische leiding van het team van Hacienda Monasterio en Peter Sissecks (oprichter van Dominio de Pingus) rechterhand Carlos de la Fuente. Wat voor wijn is Montecastro Ribera 2022 precies? Het is een krachtige maar opvallend verfijnde Ribera del Duero op basis van Tinto Fino met een kleine hoeveelheid Cabernet Sauvignon, veel frisheid en een serieuze reputatie, onderstreept door 93 punten van Robert Parker, 94 punten in de Peñín Guide en 92 punten van Tim Atkin. Deze jaargang bouwt voort op het idee van een moderne “vino fino”: rijp en intens, maar zonder logheid, met zijdezachte tannines en een duidelijk mineraal accent uit de kalkrijke bodems.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Montecastro Ribera 2022 komen uit Spanje, in Castilia y León, in het hart van Ribera del Duero rond Castrillo de Duero in de provincie Valladolid. De wijngaarden liggen op een hoogte van ongeveer 860 tot 930 m, op een hoogvlakte met overwegend kalkrijke, lichte bodems met veel stenen en een mix van klei, leem en oude rivierafzettingen; dat geeft de wijnen hun kenmerkende spanning en minerale ondertoon. De stokken staan dicht aangeplant en veel percelen worden droog geteeld, waardoor de opbrengsten laag blijven en de druiven geconcentreerd en aromatisch worden. Het continentale klimaat met hete zomers, koele nachten en strenge winters zorgt voor lange rijping, stevige structuur en een combinatie van rijp fruit en frisse zuren die zo typisch is voor topwijnen uit Ribera del Duero.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst voor Montecastro Ribera 2022 vindt volledig met de hand plaats, met de druiven in kleine kistjes zodat ze heel en koel in de kelder aankomen. Ongeveer 95% van de trossen wordt ontsteeld en 5% blijft als hele tros; deze combinatie geeft zowel puur fruit als wat extra spanning en frisheid. De vergisting gebeurt spontaan met inheemse gisten in temperatuur-gecontroleerde betonnen cuves, met een maceratie van rond de 20 dagen en een opbrengst van ongeveer 35 hl per hectare, wat bijdraagt aan de concentratie en de verfijnde tanninestructuur. Na de vergisting rijpt de wijn eerst ongeveer 3 maanden in beton, waarna hij nog eens 16 maanden wordt opgevoed op Allier eiken, met een relatief bescheiden aandeel nieuw hout rond 20%, zodat het hout perfect versmelt met het fruit en de mineraliteit. De uiteindelijke wijn heeft ongeveer 14,5% alcohol en is bewust zo gevinifieerd dat hij geen warmte of overrijpheid laat zien, maar juist balans en fraîcheur.

Druivensamenstelling

Tinto Fino – wijngaarden rond Castrillo de Duero
Tinto Fino is de lokale naam voor Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero en vormt met 95% het hart van de blend; hij zorgt voor intense aroma’s van rood en zwart fruit, structuur en het potente maar toch elegante karakter van deze wijn. 

Cabernet Sauvignon – hoger gelegen percelen van Montecastro
Ongeveer 5% Cabernet Sauvignon vult de Tinto Fino aan met extra backbone, kruidigheid en een vleugje cassis, wat de lengte en het bewaarpotentieel van Montecastro Ribera 2022 versterkt zonder de stijl van de wijn te domineren.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Montecastro Ribera 2022 heeft een diepe, heldere kersenrode kleur met paarse nuances. In de neus vind je geconcentreerde tonen van rijpe pruimen, bramen en kersen, aangevuld met hints van gedroogde kruiden, bosgrond en een subtiele romige toets van het eikenhout, allemaal mooi verweven met een mineraal accent. In de mond is de wijn krachtig en vol, met rijp rood en zwart fruit, specerijen en verfijnde houttonen; de tannines zijn rijp en zijdezacht, de zuren geven spanning en het geheel blijft opvallend fris en harmonieus, met een lange, levendige afdronk. Schenk Montecastro Ribera 2022 bij voorkeur rond 15 tot 18 °C en geef hem in een karaf even de tijd om open te komen. Aan tafel voelt hij zich thuis bij gegrild of geroosterd rood vlees, stoofgerechten van wild of hert, lamsgerechten en gerijpte harde kazen; ook bij Iberico ham en stevige regionale keukens komt zijn combinatie van kracht en finesse uitstekend naar voren.

Simple AND essential, everyone should read
Format: Kindle
I've been Christian for many years, reading many books, sermons, biblical readings, but we never stop having more beautiful insights of this glorious Christian path laid before our minds and hearts. This book is a wise, beautiful, encouraging, and simply amazing way to see and live out the Christian life and calling, rich with meaning in our current broken world and the redeemed and restored world in Christ. Are you yearning for real spirituality, joy, justice, beauty, relationships, but they seem somehow out of reach? Read this book. It is simple yet profound. Take the time to savor the words of this book alongside prayer, biblical reading, community, daily work...And partake in the overlap of heaven and earth with the Lord.

Why "Simply Christian" is a "must read"
It presents a compelling case for Christianity without attempting to bully the reader (as C. S. Lewis often does in his essays) and without relying on all those "code words" that long-time Christians find familiar but others do not. This is the Gospel in plan English. Bravo! It firmly insists that Christianity makes claims about history - that Jesus lived, died, and rose again, and that this resurrection is the central event in the story of God's re-creation of our fallen world. It insists that Christians be active participants in the future unfolding of God's plan. We are each called to play a unique role in it. It insists that there is a transcendent realm, another world, that can and does intersect or overlap with our own world, especially in sacraments, in worship, in Bible reading, and in prayer. Moreover, just as the temple was, for Jews in Jesus time, a place where heaven and earth overlapped, now we, as individual Christians, are called to be such places of overlap, where the light of Jesus shines through us. It highlights the crucial importance of forgiveness. Just as God has forgiven us our sins, so are we to forgive others. The Lord's prayer is explicit on this point. Becoming a Christian, Wright asserts, is not a matter or accepting certain improbable factual assertions, but rather a matter of trusting in God and accepting our role in unfolding his plan for the world. Rather than being dissected, as in a laboratory, or treated merely as an instrument of historical or linguistic research, the Bible is in fact one of the principal ways in which God addresses us, to prepare us for our role in fulfilling his ultimate plans. It is another place where this world and God's world overlap. Current debates over "literal" versus "metaphorical" ways of reading scripture are, in Wright's view, counterproductive. The Bible eludes these simplistic categories, which should be abandoned. At its core, then, the "faith" to which the Bible calls us is essentially trusting in a God who has revealed himself in history, who has begun, through Jesus' death and resurrection, to redeem the world and transform it into his kingdom, who invites us into to an intimate relationship with him, who demands that we become all that we were created and meant to be, who forgives us when we fall short of that mark, and who invites us to play a significant role in moving forward his plan for the world. For Wright, Christian faith is not just a matter of spiritual feelings that are quite independent of what we say and do. It makes demands upon us that can only be met in the realm of thought and behavior. As C. S. Lewis did in his fiction, "Simply Christian" persuasively invites its readers to recognize that there is a transcendent reality that impinges on our ordinary world, that the God who rules this realm has made himself known in history and continues to do so, that we are part of his plan to renew his creation, and, consequently, that what we think and do has cosmic significance.

Interesting, but no Lewis
Format: Paperback
Some books can be completely conveyed in about eight sentences or a couple paragraphs. This is one of them. Everything else beyond the core thesis is unnecessary or repetitive. This book probably would have made a good article. Wright is a well known Pauline expert, but in this book he takes a step out of his comfort zone. I usually find Paul rambling and confusing enough, so I look to experts like Wright to clarify Paul for me. But in this book, Wright seems to put on his Paul hat and just reiterates Pauline gobbledy-gook. Throughout, he presents long passages comprised solely of Pauline quotes. This book is billed as an updated version of C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity.” Both Wright and Lewis are seeped in their Anglican tradition. But where Lewis looks at the various Christian denominations and identifies what’s common and good among them all, Wright sees differences and insists they are all wrong. In alienating evangelicals on the one hand, and Catholics on the other, Wright suggests that to be Simply Christian you must abandon your faith traditions that are at odds with his. I can’t imagine Lewis taking this tack. I give this three stars, for its clear style, for being thought provoking, and for its call to personal introspection.

Great Daily Vitamin
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I needed a daily vitamin but didn't know where to start, so this was my 1st choice. I don't know specifically what I was lacking in my daily diet, but within a week of taking these, I felt much more energetic than before. Been using them for approximately 2 months now and I will be purchasing them in the future. Pricing is within reason.
