Sourced from high altitude vineyards, they are the more radical alternative to Arribas' Montsant and Priorat wine lines. Characterized by controlled omission, they are produced with virtually no noticeable oak barrel influence, no excessive extraction, no sulfites and no enzymes. With distinctive tannins as a backbone, they are designed for several years of bottle ageing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Die InStabiles sind Weine aus der Vins Nus-Serie werden ohne jeglichen Eingriff produziert und verzichten auf Herkunft sowie auf Jahrgangs-Kontinuit\u00e4t. Sie sind Et\u00fcden in der Kunst der \u201cAssemblage\u201d, der Verm\u00e4hlung der Trauben in traditioneller, handwerklicher Kellerarbeit &#8211; Wine Craftwork, wie Arribas es gerne nennt. Die Nummern der Serie bezeichnen die fortlaufenden Projekte aus der Reihe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Mea Culpa is the ninth project from the InSTabile series and is dedicated to the pure expression of Grenache. Grown at 450-500 meters, Mea Culpa is a cuv\u00e9e of Garnacha Tinta and Garnacha \"peluda\", a thick-skinned, acidic mutation of Grenache Noir. Half of the grapes were destemmed and the other half fermented spontaneously in steel with stems. One half matured in ceramic eggs, the other remained in stainless steel before the disparate lots were blended and bottled unfiltered and unfined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Nose <\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>On the nose, the 2018 Mea Culpa InSTabile No 9 from Alfredo Arribas is reductive at first, with wet stones and blackboard chalk garnishing the timid fruit, which is very buttoned up and only becomes more talkative with sufficient aeration. Beetroot and the leaves of the currant bush set vegetal accents, spicy aromas of black walnuts, liquorice and unroasted coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Mouth<\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>The Antrunk is initially characterized by some carbonic acid, which is not a shortcoming. If you don't like that as a stylistic device, grab the carafe and plunge the unstable fellow headfirst into the hollow body. Juicy fresh with tart tannin, the CO2 soon takes its leave and lets it glide over the palate in vibrant transparency. The interplay of fruit, spice and bitter tannin gives it a peculiar attractiveness and above all a rapid drinking flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"food_suggestion\">\n<h3>Food recommendations from Sebastian Bordth\u00e4user<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Falafel in aromatic tomato sauce with cinnamon, corinader, almonds and raisins   <\/li>\n<li>Roulades of swordfish with braised blood oranges in olive oil with oregano and black olives   <\/li>\n<li>Lamb kofte with eggplant cream   <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class='wine-character-bullets'>\n<li>\ud83c\udf47 <strong>Colour<\/strong>Ruby red with violet reflections<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3a <strong>Aroma<\/strong>Reductive with notes of wet stones, black chalk, beetroot, blackcurrant leaves, black walnuts, liquorice and unroasted coffee<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf77 <strong>Taste<\/strong>Juicy and fresh with a breeze of carbonic acid, tart tannin and a play of fruit and spice that ensures a rapid drinking flow<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udfad <strong>Character<\/strong>Vibrant transparency with a distinctive tannic structure and an exceptional blend of Garnacha Tinta and Garnacha \"peluda\"<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f <strong>Food recommendation<\/strong>Goes perfectly with falafel in aromatic tomato sauce or lamb kofta with aubergine cream<\/li>\n<li>\u2728 <strong>Special features<\/strong>: Produced without the noticeable influence of oak barrels, half matured in ceramic eggs and half in stainless steel, bottled unfiltered and unadorned<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":213571,"template":"","meta":{"bwfblock_default_font":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[1659],"product_cat":[3118,3564],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43170","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-vins-nus","7":"product_cat-vins-nus","8":"product_cat-wochenendweine","9":"pa_farbe-rot","10":"pa_inhalt-750ml","11":"pa_jahrgang-2396","12":"pa_restsuesse-trocken","13":"pa_sorte-grenache","14":"pa_stil-naturwein","15":"pa_stil-ungeschwefelt","16":"pa_typ-wein","17":"show-hover","19":"first","20":"outofstock","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"purchasable","24":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Vins Nus - Instabile No.9 Mea Culpa 2018<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Instabile No.9 Mea Culpa 2018 \u2013 Vins Nus aus Priorat.
