Airen
Filter
Airen is the most widely planted grape in central Spain. Furthermore, Airen is also the most popular grape variety grown throughout the world in terms of planted acres. In Spain, Airen is planted in the La Mancha and Valdepenas regions. There, in the warm and dry environment with less than desirable soil, Airen is an ideal grape variety. Airen will produce high yields with relatively low maintenance. These qualities will trump the poor quality of wine that Airen makes, but the ease of the vine lends itself to producing base wines for brandy and high alcohol whites for Spain’s local consumers. When blended with Cencibel, Airen will produce a light-bodied red wine. Most recently, Airen grapes are giving rise to a crisp, dry white wine. Although becoming less and less popular as more fruit-forward wines dominate in consumption, the ease of growth of the Airen grape will give it longevity in the industry.

A value sparkling brut, made with Airen grapes from around the French/Spanish border (next to the Pyrenees). This is a new Kysela Project.
The bubbles are obtained using the Charmat method, named after Eugene Charmat, where the second fermentation takes places in a large, closed pressurized tank. It is different from the Methode Champanoise as the secondary fermentation doesn't take place in the bottle.

Clear and deep ruby in color, lightening at the rim, with light staining in the glassand moderately thick tears. Medium intensity on the nose with rich red plum, blackberry jam, cocoa powder, and savory tea leaf. A vein of earthy minerality brings complexity to juicy fruit and autumn spice. Oak lends warm vanilla, caramel, and allspice. Dry and full-bodied with intense, youthful red fruit on the palate. Bing cherry and blackberry notes are layered with leather, espresso, and nutmeg, and the long finish is accented with well-integrated tannin and an element of acidity that keeps the wine from being heavy.
The bold fruit and spice character of this 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon would pair perfectly with balsamic braised beef with creamy parmesan polenta, or an earthy, complex dish such as eggplant moussaka.
Review:
Here is a big, powerful Cabernet that pushes the envelope. The 2022 vintage was another drought year, and Paso Robles experienced late season heat waves. Made from 100% Cabernet that was aged for 21 months in French oak, 50% of it new, it clocks in at 15.5 % alcohol. However, when tasted blind, it offers an aroma of ultra-ripe black berries, chocolate, and spices that by the final swirl is absolutely gorgeous. Full-bodied with very juicy black fruit flavors and spice backed up by toasty oak, it all holds together seamlessly thanks to integrated tannins. The finish ends on a light toasty oak note. The real challenge is to pair it with a comparably robust main course.
