Kairal Wines
Steve Wells has crafted some beautiful new wines for Kairal Wines. Today we share a brand new winery with the talented Steve Wells (Time & Direction owner/winemaker) at the helm. Kairal is a reference to the greek words kairos and chronos, which mean “the opportune moment” and “time”, both of which are absolutely necessary in winemaking. I thought that the inaugural wines were seriously good, particularly their ‘Walla Walla Valley’ Syrah (OB, 93) which is very elegant and smooth throughout the drinking experience. Learn more at https://kairalwines.com/ and here are my reviews of the new Kairal Wines. 2024 Kairal Viognier- The 2024 Kairal Viognier offers honeysuckle water and lychee alongside ripe banana on the nose. The palate is clean and laden with loads of nuance and tension alongside freshly cut limes, salty minerals alongside shades of white peach.

🎧Ep 275 – Spanish Wine Beyond Rioja: Vino de Pago, New Jerez, Bobal & More with Sarah Jane Evans MW
What are the Spanish wine regions and grape varieties you need to know beyond Rioja and Ribera del Duero? In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina heads to Spain with Sarah Jane Evans MW, one of the world's leading experts on Spanish wine, to explore the regions, grapes and wine classifications that deserve far more attention - from Jerez and Castilla-La Mancha to Valencia, Madrid and Extremadura. At the heart of the conversation is Vino de Pago, one of Spain's most fascinating and misunderstood wine classifications. Sarah Jane explains what Vino de Pago actually means, how it differs from Spain's traditional regional classifications and why these individual estates have the freedom to explore distinctive terroirs, indigenous grape varieties and different winemaking styles. We also explore some of Spain's lesser-known grape varieties, including Merseguera, Albillo Real, Bobal and old-vine Monastrell, as well as the country's extraordinary heritage of old vineyards.
