Y tu de Quien Eres Red 2020

Y tu de Quien Eres is a red field blend sourced from multiple small mixed plots in the Manchuela area of Castilla-La Mancha, just outside the DO boundary near Casas Ibañez in Albacete. The wine is built primarily around Bobal, joined by a rotating cast of rarely seen indigenous varieties including Moravia Agria, Teta de Vaca, Marisancho, Pedro Juan, Cegivera, Rojal, and Pintailla, among others. Some of the growers supplying these grapes cannot identify every variety in their plots. Vines are bush-trained, dry-farmed, and range from old to very old, with some exceeding 100 years.

This wine began as a crowdfunding campaign launched in 2016 to save a grower's vineyard from being uprooted. The plot, owned by a local farmer named Pepe, held around 20 different grape varieties. Gratias took fermentation vats directly to the vineyard, trod a first layer of grapes to release must and start fermentation, then added the remaining whole bunches. The result is a wine made the way it was made in villages across this region for generations. After fermentation, the wine is aged in a combination of tinaja (clay vessels), old barrels, and stainless steel.

The labels feature portraits of the small farmers whose grapes go into the blend, a direct acknowledgment of the community structure behind the wine. Annual production is approximately 5,300 bottles. No fining, no filtration, and only minimal sulfur additions if any, typically totaling around 15ppm.

On the palate, expect a medium-bodied red with a soft, slightly carbonic mouthfeel, bright red plum and blackberry fruit, dried Mediterranean herbs, and light minerality from the calcareous clay soils. The wide variety of grapes brings genuine complexity without weight.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.
