The 2021 Hub, named after jazz trumpet player Freddie Hubbard because the wine comes from a higher and rockier place in the village of Guarilihue and Parra considers Hubbard the most audacious of the trumpet players. The dry-farmed vines were planted 40 years ago in the higher part of Guarilihue on rocky granite soils with lots of silt and quartz and less sand. It fermented in concrete tanks with 100% full clusters (that amount has been increased in the last few years) and indigenous yeasts, then the wine matured in concrete vat for 11 months. It has a developed orangish color and developed nose, which is as reminiscent of Rayas as any other wine I have tried in my life, with cherries in liqueur and brick dust, expressive and open, with some herbal, minty, almost eucalyptus-like notes. The palate is austere, pure sand and rocks, pure grip, bone with no meat. This wine is only bones, and the only trumpet player with no meat and only bones was Hubbard. For geeky stony wine people... Awesome! 2,664 bottles were filled in February 2022. He purchased this vineyard in 2021, so he manages it 100% his way. ... More details

Fresh watermelon, strawberries, grapefruit, crushed pomegranate and some fresh, red flowers. Zesty grapefruit, elegant in style, with very firm, chalky tannins that are nicely integrated on the tangy and minerally attractive palate. A delicious and seductive cinsault. Can hold, but this is irresistible now.
Winery
This single vineyard Cinsault comes from a rocky, high-elevation site in the village of Guarilihue. 40-year-old, low-yield vines planted to soils rich in granite, silt, and quartz, as well as sand. Fermentation, 30% of which was whole cluster, took place in concrete tanks utilizing indigenous yeasts. Wine aged exclusively in concrete to retain purity of both fruit and terroir. “Hub” is named after the jazz trumpet player, Freddie Hubbarb, whose intensity is mirrored in the strong grip and tension found in the “Hub” Cinsault.

Country: Chile

When considering the rich and fertile central valleys of Chile, where we find most of the oldest, grandest and established wineries, it is difficult to imagine a more suited landscape for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Mineral rich soils, eight months of sunshine per year, oceanic winds and clear water running down the mountainsides – it is little wonder that the imported Old World grapes do so well here. Chile is renowned world-wide for producing highly drinkable wines, packed full of fruit-forward character and enjoyed young and fresh, as well as being home to more complex wines reminiscent of many Old World varieties. Whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as being Chile's 'flagship' grape varietal, equally fine produce comes from Chardonnay grapes (indeed, the Sol de Sol Chardonnays are widely agreed to be amongst the New World's finest white wines) the plummy Merlot and silky, intense Pinot Noir.
