Pedro Parra Hub 2021
HK$ 420.67
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.

Description
Pedro Parra Hub comes from a single vineyard located in a rocky, high elevation area in the village of Guarilihue, Chile. The vines are 40 year old, low yielding Cinsault vines planted in soils rich in granite, silt and quartz as well as sand.
Winemaking
Fermentation, 30% of which was whole cluster, was carried out in concrete tanks using indigenous yeasts. The wine was aged exclusively in concrete to preserve the purity of both the fruit and the terroir. The name "Hub" is a tribute to the jazz trumpeter, Freddie Hubbarb, whose intensity is reflected in the strong grip and tension found in the Cinsault "Hub".
Flavour
Pedro Parra Hub is the lightest of the three wines in his collection, but also the fruitiest, featuring plenty of crisp red fruit, accompanied by spices, herbs and animal nuances. On the palate, it feels "sweet", with medium acidity and ultra-fine tannins. It is a very elegant and delicate wine, ideal to accompany grilled meats.
