{"product_id":"uva-de-vida-biografico-tinto-2022","title":"Uva de Vida \"Biográfico\" Tinto 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis blend of 80% Graciano and 20% Tempranillo is dark in color, yet light in character. The aromas are a mix of spicy fruit, a touch of fresh earth and hints of purple flowers. The palate is dynamic and bright, balancing between the spicy tannin of the Graciano and the earthy fruit of the Tempranillo, offering bright red cherries, sweet blueberry, a bit of lilac and a slight earthy umami quality. Silky, young and well-structured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiográfico Tinto is made with biodynamically farmed grapes from the estate’s northeast and southeast facing slopes. The grapes are fermented with only native yeasts in stainless steel tanks before resting for about six months in the same vessels. The wine naturally clarifies and is not filtered nor does it see any additions of sulfur before bottling. It is released as a fresh expression of this blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUva de Vida is a small, biodynamic farm in the Santa Olalla area of Toledo. Maria Carmen López Delgado started her project in 2005, after she beat a serious illness through realizing that intimate work with the earth and all of its energy could rejuvenate her own ailments. \"If we take care of the earth, we take care of ourselves. Life has given me a new opportunity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with her husband Luis Ruiz, they work in the dry and extreme continental climate of Castilla with 9.5 hectares of Graciano (a fairly rare red grape in Spain, let alone Castilla) and 3 hectares of Tempranillo situated between cereal fields and Cornicabra Olive groves. They have a sincere passion and dedication to keeping their land perfect, and do not use any copper or sulfur in the vineyard in order to produce incredible grapes. They play music to the vines and in the cellar in order to move subtle energy around using the gentle vibrations of sound waves. The Mandala image on the label of each bottle is their own complex geometric diagram of their vineyard (at 40˚ latitude), which outlines these energetic vibrations that are so crucial to their biodynamic farming practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional label information: The 8 pointed star references the Arabic \u0026amp; Jewish past of Toledo, which represents the connection between heaven \u0026amp; earth, the stable balance between spirit (cosmic) and matter (telluric). It also pays homage to the ancient Mediterranean civilizations that worshiped the sun, which they represented with eight rays as a hallmark of spiritual realizations, representing the sum of all aspiration, a symbol of life that inspires us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uva de Vida","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51785667641661,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Uva-de-Vida-Biografico-Tinto-2022.jpg?v=1780444325","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/uva-de-vida-biografico-tinto-2022","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
