The soils are predominantly limestone and chalk, perfect for the Chardonnay grape, the only variety allowed in Chablis. Chablis, along with Champagne, is the original `cool climate region`, with frost being a common problem. However careful siting of south facing vineyards enables the vignerons to produce classic, dry, and steely wines. The most complex of these are produced from the seven Grand Cru vineyards which are all located on the northern slopes that overlook the town of Chablis itself, with famous names such as `Les Preuses` and `Grenouilles`.

The climate is arid, extreme in both summer and winter, tempered by strong prevailing winds. The widely planted white Arien grape variety is slowly losing favour to Tempranillo, Shiraz and Garnacha and the old wineries are giving way to gleaming modern facilities heralding a revolution for the region`s winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBodegas Parra Jiménez was established in 1993 by the three Parra brothers, who pioneered organic viticulture in the region. In 2008 they went further pursuing their passion for the environment, adapting Biodynamic agriculture and on top of this they are free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers. The family also farm grains, garlic, cereals and sheep. A Biodynamic approach helps to form a closed sustainable and biodiverse ecosystem, the grains help feed the livestock, which in turn fertilize the crops. The endangered black sheep species they keep are used to make delicious local Manchego cheese. The estate is in the hands of the younger generation, Pablo Parra, who has steered the winery towards minimal intervention winemaking and who is very enthusiastic about continuing the biodynamic philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EW","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":57339867693429,"sku":null,"price":77.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":57339867726197,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/PazodeMirasolesAlbarinoBiodynamicBodegasParraJimenez2025.png?v=1783170609"},{"product_id":"albarino-bico-da-lua-2024","title":"Albariño Bico da Lua 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 12.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-dynamic-block-fieldnode-product-notes field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--name-field-product-notes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"region notes-wrapper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-field-product-food field--type-string-long field--label-above\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field--item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe soils are located along the banks of the Mino River on clay and mica rich soils.

This coastal region is wet, yet it is where the fashionable Albariño grape variety thrives on the granite soils. In the south, the Rias Baixas, which means `lower inlets’, supports vines trained high on pergolas in order to keep them well aired from the damp climate, producing fresh, elegant and aromatic wines. The Godello variety is most happy in the relatively warmer and drier valley of Valdeorras, crossed by the river Sil, which is located inland, on the eastern limit of Galicia. Godello’s bunches are compact with smallish and yields are relatively low, which probably contributed to the variety`s near abandonment in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBodegas Eidosela are based within a warmer area of Rias Baixas in Condado do Tea, along the banks of the Miño River, an idyllic lushious green landscape that borders Portugal.
