We recently came across this post on José Pastor and his wines by one of our favorite wine writers, the inimitable Alice Feiring.
Here’s what Alice had to say:
- …an importer who has the balls to aim for wines that are terroir driven, uninoculated, no added biting acid and no forced deacidification. Acid freaks unite and celebrate. Not only that, a sense of place? From Spain, no less! From the country that had fallen for the points and the power like the last slate of domino?
- But, instead, Jose has shown that there is another Spain, a Spain that could have been forgotten and lost and still exists. Over the past year he has weeded some out of his portfolio and has added some forces of natural nature. If his people do well, the message will be delivered to the others who would rather not pump their wines into hormonal submission–that they don’t have to.
- The wines are fantastic. Spain lives.

And if haven’t read Alice’s book, The Battle for Wine and Love: How I saved the world from Parkerization, it’s now also available in paperback (and in Spanish!).
