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 the wealthy new landowners of the 19th century began planting large vineyards in the fertile central valleys of Chile, they must have been impressed at how successful the imported Old World grape varietals took to the land. However, such a fact is hardly surprising; with eight months of blazing sunshine coupled with oceanic winds from the west, and crystal clear spring waters from the Andes irrigating the soil, grapes such as Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were given everything they needed to flourish, and more. As the centuries passed, Chilean wineries continued to expand and experiment, resulting in a wide range of wine production methods and techniques, and consistently producing fine quality wines perfect for the international market. Nowadays, Chile is renowned for producing a wide variety of crisp white wines, and juicy, fruity reds enjoyed around the world for their drinkability and flavorful character, making this country very much one of the 'New World', albeit one with a fascinating link to the Old.
