Pedro Parra Newk 2022
HK$ 844.29
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sourced from extremely shallow granite soils with quartz, sand and silt content, the 2022 Newk is the most vivid expression of pure mineral intensity in the Parra cellar. It brings to mind the Northern Rhône or Barolo rather than the various themes of Burgundy that emerge in other bottlings. It is the most focused, coiled and aromatically linear, with an iron-tinged, herbal core gaining energy with each swirl. The palate is spry and lively yet dense and compacted, hinting at the grip to come with a tensile, taut frame that explodes into a stunning, searing and tenacious finish that remains weightless. The length here is similar to the Miles bottling, although the energy sits higher in the mouth compared to the Miles, which is all-encompassing. With a featherweight frame with a heavyweight punch, this could prove to merit an even higher score with time and could likely be the longest-lived wine of the lineup.

Description
Pedro Parra Newk is a pure and authentic expression of Chilean terroir. Produced in the heart of Guarilihue Alto, this wine comes from the smallest vineyard cultivated by Pedro Parra. It is composed entirely of the Cinsault variety, a grape that has adapted beautifully to the conditions of the Chilean terroir. This particular wine pays homage to the wild and passionate saxophonist Sonny "Newk" Rollins.
Winemaking
In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in concrete tanks with 100% whole bunches. This process brings out the natural characteristics of the grapes and adds complexity to the wine. Subsequently, the wine is aged in large 1,500 litre unroasted foudres, which allows for a slow and balanced maturation, preserving the fruity and earthy qualities of the Cinsault.
Taste
The aroma of Pedro Parra Newk reveals a reductive vinification, but once it dissipates, subtle red fruits emerge accompanied by whole cluster aromatics. On the palate, this wine stands out for its tension and excellent mouthfeel. Dark red fruits dominate the flavour profile, culminating in a long, grandiose finish. It is a wine that perfectly combines fruit intensity with a balanced tannic structure, offering a unique tasting experience.
