Pedro Parra Cinsault Newk

The single-vineyard Cinsault Newk was named for musician Sonny Rollins Newk, for Parra, the wildest jazz musician of recent times. He says he finds the wine wild, full of energy and minerality. It was produced with grapes from an old vineyard in Guarilihue that is worked by horse, from vines planted on decomposed and rocky granite soils with some iron and a sandy and silty texture. It fermented with 100% full clusters after four or five days with native yeasts and a total maceration time of 55 days, then the wine matured in an oak vat for 11 months. It has 13.5% alcohol and is austere and sharp, mineral and stony. It's a bit reductive and opens up to notes of fresh blood and iodine, a little Gonon with that herbal side. The palate is phenomenal; it's deep and has grip and is mineral and intense with energy, direct and not shy.

  Pedro Parra likes to compare Newk to the wines of Chambolle-Musigny and I think I know what he means. Sourced from a 0.37-hectare parcel on granite and quartz soils, it's a focused, highly perfumed Cinsault with plenty of vibrancy and acidity, some appealing underlying grip, racy minerality, plum and red cherry fruit and the underlying concentration to age in bottle. 2025-33
