Phelan Farm & EnvinateGrape: Mencia, Trousseau, Palomino
Vintage: 2021
Type: Red
The A Chingao Vineyards Misturado de Cambria is a captivating red blend that expresses the unique terroir of its Californian origins. It presents a vibrant bouquet of red fruit, particularly raspberry and cherry, interwoven with deeper notes of plum. A subtle spiciness and peppery nuance add complexity, while earthy undertones, reminiscent of leather and mineral, provide a savory counterpoint.
Phelan Farm & Envinate is a collaboration that brings together Raj Parr's coastal California vineyard and the Spanish collective Envinate. The connection makes sense: both sides are obsessed with farming, volcanic or marine-influenced soils, low-intervention cellar work and wines that feel transparent rather than branded. From Phelan's cool Cambria site, the Envinate team helps interpret California fruit with the same sensitivity they bring to Tenerife, Ribeira Sacra and Almansa. The resulting wines are less about a transatlantic novelty than a shared language of place: whole clusters, native yeasts, lift, salt and a refusal to over-explain the vineyard.
