Pago de Carraovejas 2022

Pago de Carraovejas 2022 is de vlaggenschipwijn van het domein dat dezelfde naam draagt, hoog boven de rivier in de Ribera del Duero. In 1987 begon José María Ruiz hier met één doel voor ogen: een eigen wijn maken die perfect paste bij het beroemde speenvarken in zijn restaurant in Segovia, en precies die combinatie van kracht en verfijning proef je nog steeds in deze cuvée. Wat voor wijn is Pago de Carraovejas 2022 precies? Het is een krachtige maar verfijnde blend met veel body, duidelijke structuur en opvallend goede balans, waarin Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) de hoofdrol speelt en Cabernet Sauvignon en Merlot vooral voor extra diepte en lengte zorgen. In het complexe, droge jaar 2022 wist het team de frisheid te behouden, waardoor deze jaargang tegelijk rijp, levendig en heel precies overkomt.

Wijngaarden en regio

Pago de Carraovejas 2022 komt uit Spanje, uit Castilla y León, uit de D.O. Ribera del Duero en specifiek uit de Carraovejas-vallei bij Peñafiel. De wijngaarden liggen rond 850 meter boven zeeniveau en lopen door tot op moerassen en plateaus die boven 900 meter uitkomen, met hellingen die lokaal meer dan 30% halen. De stokken staan op tertiaire bodems van kalksteenmergel, klei en zandsteen, met aan de oppervlakte een kalkrijke textuur van rode klei en witte leem, arm aan nutriënten maar met hoge waterretentie. Dat dwingt de wijnstokken om diep te wortelen en zich sterk te reguleren, wat je terugziet in de concentratie en de mineralige ruggengraat van de wijn. In 2022 was de winter koel en uitzonderlijk droog, maar dankzij de waterreserves uit het voorgaande jaar bleef de groeicyclus homogeen en gezond, met een gelijkmatige knopzetting en bloei en een trage, gelijkmatige véraison in de zomer. De extreme warmte en hittegolven werden opgevangen met druppelirrigatie, waarna de oogst tussen 12 en 28 september plaatsvond met perfect rijpe, kleine bessen.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst voor Pago de Carraovejas 2022 gebeurt volledig met de hand in kleine kratten van 15 kilo, zodat de druiven heel en onbeschadigd in de kelder aankomen. In de wijngaard vindt al een eerste selectie plaats, waarna in de bodega een dubbele sorteertafel volgt, eerst op tros en daarna op individuele bessen. De most wordt uitsluitend met behulp van zwaartekracht verplaatst, zonder pompen, zodat de structuur van het fruit maximaal intact blijft. De vergisting gebeurt perceel voor perceel in roestvrijstalen tanks en houten cuves met behulp van inheemse gisten van het eigen domein, gevolgd door malolactische omzetting met de natuurlijke melkzuurbacteriën van het estate. Aansluitend rijpt de wijn 12 maanden in een combinatie van Franse en Amerikaanse eikenhouten vaten, waarbij de precieze combinatie per jaargang wordt gekozen om het karakter van de Carraovejas-vallei zo zuiver mogelijk te laten spreken. Voor bescherming en helderheid wordt de wijn traditioneel geklaard met eiwit en in het voorjaar van 2024 gebotteld.

Druivensamenstelling

Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) – Carraovejas Valley
Tinto Fino (93%) vormt de kern van de wijn en levert de intensiteit van rijpe kersen, pruimen en donkere bessen, samen met de stevige maar rijpe tannines en de diepe structuur die zo kenmerkend is voor Ribera del Duero.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Carraovejas Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon (4%) geeft extra ruggengraat, een vleugje cassis en fijne kruidigheid, en ondersteunt de lengte en het bewaarpotentieel van de blend.

Merlot – Carraovejas Valley
Merlot (3%) rondt het geheel af met zachtere textuur, een hint rood fruit en een fluwelige toets in het middenpalet, wat bijdraagt aan de harmonie van deze jaargang.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Pago de Carraovejas 2022 heeft een diepe, bijna inktachtige kersenrode kleur. In de neus komen intense aroma’s van zwarte bessen, pruimen en zwarte vijgen naar voren, aangevuld met subtiele tonen van viooltjes, zoete specerijen, balsamico en een vleugje cacao en koffie van de rijping in eikenhout. In de mond is de wijn vol en vlezig, met een kern van rijp rood en donker fruit, omkaderd door sappige zuren en zeer fijnkorrelige tannines die veel structuur geven zonder hoekig te worden. De afdronk is lang en gelaagd, met een combinatie van fruit, kruidigheid, een hint van romige vanille en een duidelijke, kalkachtige frisheid die de wijn spannend houdt. Schenk Pago de Carraovejas 2022 idealiter rond 16 tot 18 °C en geef jonge flessen gerust 1 tot 2 uur in de karaf, zodat het bouquet volledig openvouwt. Aan tafel is dit een klassieke partner voor gegrild of geroosterd lamsvlees, langzaam gegaard rundvlees, Iberico-varkensgerechten, wildschotels of een plank met gerijpte schapen- en harde kazen, waar zijn kracht, elegantie en gastronomische stijl prachtig tot hun recht komen.

Format: Paperback
I liked the pace, the story and the characters. Sadly I found it at the end a bit confusing. I think the book needed more edition work. Otherway, it is a recommendable book if you want horror with a bit of science fiction. Be advised you'll need to use your imagination to understand certain pasages.

Not even a good read. Pass it.
Format: Paperback
Unfortunately, this book was basically a whole lot of nothing. It was not what I was hoping for, which was on the edge of your seat scary. It was not even alittle scary. Left me with unanswered questions and confused. Sorry..I did not like this book at all.

Easy to read and fall in love with
Format: Hardcover
one of those books that feels less like a story and more like an experience. Ray Bradbury captures the magic of summer, childhood, and all the little things in life we take for granted. I loved the way it blended nostalgia with those bittersweet moments of growing up. It’s slow at times, but that’s the beauty of it — it makes you stop and notice the small details, just like the characters do. For me, it felt like stepping back into a simpler time, but with all the emotions and lessons that still matter today. It’s warm, reflective, and beautiful. A book you don’t just read — you feel.

Vintage Bradbury
Format: Hardcover
Ray Bradbury August 22nd 1922 - June 5th, 2012 When Ray Bradbury died reactions came from everywhere including from President Obama. Surprising to me, few mentioned the one of his works that meant so much to me and affected my life so deeply. While he was most known to the general public for his science fiction, I found his mostly autobiographical novel Dandelion Wine to be the most impactful. At the same time it best illustrated Bradbury’s incredible command of the language, his ability to stir the imagination, and the way in which he could open windows on life. I couldn’t count the number of times I would reread a single sentence and become overwhelmed with admiration and envy at how he used words to create images in the mind’s eye. All this was particularly on display in Dandelion Wine and its sequel, Farewell Summer. For Bradbury, it couldn’t be just water. “Nothing else would do but the pure waters which had been summoned from the lakes far away and the sweet fields of grassy dew on early morning, lifted to the open sky, carried in laundered clusters nine hundred miles, brushed with wind, electrified with high voltage, and condensed upon cool air. This water, falling, raining, gathered yet more of the heavens in its crystals. Taking something of the east wind and the west wind and the north wind and the south, the water made rain and the rain, within this hour of rituals, would be well on its way to wine.” Essentially, Dandelion Wine is the story of a summer in the life of a twelve year old boy as he comes to understand what it means to be alive. But it is also a time capsule for the year 1928 of life in a small town when everyone’s world was much smaller and more compact. There is horror, love, comedy, wonder, nostalgia, and human relations. Bradbury could find unique ways to describe them all. I first read Dandelion Wine in 1957 when I wasn’t much older than Douglas Spaulding, the central character. It helped me put life in perspective as I was leaving high school. I read it the second time in the early ‘80s when I introduced my daughter to it. Kelly and I sat on our front porch swing one warm summer evening and I read aloud to her the story of Bill Forrester and Helen Loomis. It was all I could do to finish it and when I did we both had tears streaming down our cheeks. Such was the power of imagination and Bradbury’s ability to stroke it to life using just words. I read it the third time in preparation for reading the sequel, Farewell Summer, written 55 years after Dandelion Wine. Like a fine wine, it had only gotten better with age. Appropriately, Farewell Summer was given to me by Kelly and I read it on summer’s eve 2012. It was the perfect beginning for yet another summer. In both books the ravine in Green Town, Illinois, based on Waukegan, Illinois where Bradbury grew up was a central feature. I couldn’t resist going to Googlearth to see if the ravine was real. It was. And, it is still there even after Waukegan had changed from a small town to a satellite of Chicago. I was pleased to simply find I could locate it. But when I zoomed in and highlighted the little tree symbol I found the ravine is now Ray Bradbury Park. Perfect! Dan Winters June 29, 2012

One boy’s early awareness of magic and mortality
Format: Kindle
As part of my growing adolescent fascination with the work of Ray Bradbury, of course I read ‘Dandelion Wine’. However, it was one I have not revisited in almost 50 years so my recollection of it is less detailed than many of his other classic books. It’s a collection of interconnected short stories, some previously published, again set in Green Town, Illinois, the fictional counterpart for Waukegan, Illinois where Bradbury spent his first years up until the beginning of his adolescence. Many of his stories, whether they’re set in Green Town or some other anonymous Midwest town in the 20’s and 30’s resonated with me from the beginning. My father was born just a few months after Bradbury and grew up during that same time in another small town in Missouri, which I recall visiting a few times in my childhood and seeing a neighborhood not much different from Bradbury’s, and a house almost literally unchanged from the time when my father was a boy. That nostalgia, that yearning for the freshness and intensity of a child’s perception, when a boy will find magic in a birdbath and an earth-scented basement, definitely spoke to my soul and still does, 50 years later. The main character is a Ray surrogate, a twelve-year old boy named Douglas Spaulding (Bradbury’s middle name is ‘Douglas’) who has a ten-year old brother named Tom. They live with their parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother in an old house that is sturdy and roomy enough to accommodate a few boarders. One of the ‘beginning of summer’ rituals is the bottling of dandelion wine that will last the entire summer and beyond, at which point it will be a way of preserving what was memorable about the summer that just passed. ‘Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course, the smallest tingling sip for children; change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in.’ During this particular summer, Doug fully realizes, for the first time, that he is alive and, conversely, that he will die. He holds mortality at bay as much as he can, with special sneakers in which he can run from one end of the town to the other and working out a clever bartering trade with the shoe salesman as a way to “buy” the sneakers. Doug could be a future salesman himself, persuading the salesman to try on a pair himself so he will know what he’s selling and how it actually feels to wear a pair. The future writer Doug also wants to document every significant event that happens to him this summer of 1928. His younger brother Tom, on the other hand, is more logical and reasonable. While Doug chronicles the events of the summer, Tom records data such as the first rainfall and other meteorological data. Tom also seems to me to be the wiser of the two, reasoning with and calming down the melodramatic Doug on more than one occasion. Everything in the town acquires new meaning to the otherwise carefree and playful Doug. There are discernible boundaries between civilization and wilderness in this little hamlet, the most notable example being the ravine: ‘The ravine was indeed the place where you came to look at the two things of life, the ways of man and the ways of the natural world. The town was, after all, only a large ship filled with constantly moving survivors, bailing out the grass, chipping away the rust.’ The death of his great grandma also occurs this summer. After a lifetime of activity and housekeeping and family keeping, she decides that she has lived long enough. She has no discernible ailment, just a “mild but ever-deepening tiredness”. She has to assure Doug and Tom that the time for doing all this activity has come to an end and that they must learn to accept it. Just as disturbing for Doug is when his best friend John Huff tells him that his father is being transferred to Milwaukee .His family is leaving on the train that evening. John is a budding young superman. He is a master pathfinder, swimmer, climber and jumper. He is also not a bully. He is kind as well as smart. As far as Doug is concerned, he is a god. For their last play activity, they play a game of hide-and-seek. Doug volunteers to be ‘it’, hoping by controlling the pace of the game to prolong John’s departure. John wraps that one up and agrees to play one more game, with him as ‘it’. With Doug and the other boys frozen into ‘statues’, John punches him on the arm gently, saying “So long” and then runs. There is even a serial killer in Green Town, referred to as The Lonely One. Young spinster Lavinia Nebbs and some of her friends are worried about the disappearance of another of their friends. Rumors of the Lonely One being on the loose abound with the deaths of two young women occurring within the past two months. With the disappearance of their friend they have ample reason to be concerned. Then they find her, lying dead on the ground. They find the police and, after he finishes questioning them, they are free to leave. Lavinia, putting on a brave front, suggests they go to a Charlie Chaplin movie to stave off their fear. This works pretty well until the film ends, the last feature of the night, and they all have to walk home in the dark. Lavinia, still trying to hide her fear behind a brave front, agrees to walk her friends home first, meaning that she’ll have to walk the rest of the way to her house by herself. Bradbury’s mastery of suspense is particularly evident in this chilling and terrifying episode. I won’t reveal the outcome. There is one episode in which Doug and Tom, primarily Doug, come to believe that a wax, fortune-telling “Tarot Witch” automaton is actually a mummified queen from ancient Egypt. In reality it is a slot machine in which you put in a penny and out comes a card with your fortune written on it. The alcoholic owner is disgusted with it and his failing slot and pinball machine business and ready to throw it in the trash heap. Doug and Tom attempt to rescue it. This sequence is long and tedious and has the effect of Tom and Huck rescuing Jim near the end of ‘Huckleberry Finn’. In both cases it’s an unwelcome diversion that detracts from the power of the novel. Overall, ‘Dandelion Wine’ works. It is not as disjointed as it seemed to me 50 years ago when I could detect the short story origins of much of it. Depicting the course of a summer is by its nature episodic. There are moments where it seems that everybody talks like Bradbury writes, even the semi-literate characters, and with a zeal and enthusiasm that gradually took over most of his later fiction. At its core, however, it captures, through a poetic filter, the magic and intensity of a child’s perception and his awareness that all this beauty surrounding us is fleeting so we may as well appreciate it as much as we can while we can.
