Our first Bookshop Wine of the Month has a very special Irish connection.
Tom Gallagher, originally from Boyle, Co Roscommon, moved to Spain with his family as a child. During Covid, he bought an abandoned 4.5 hectare vineyard in Montsant, Catalunya: old, gnarly, overgrown vines on organic land.
Tom spent lockdown taming the vineyard and now lives on the land in a modern farmhouse that is completely off-grid, powered by solar panels, with water drawn from beneath the vines.
Which does make my own lockdown lettuce and carrots look a little underpowered.
The wine is called 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐚.
In Spanish, 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐚 comes from 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐫 - to say, to tell, to speak.
And really, what could be more bookshop than that?
Only 2,500 bottles are produced each year. The label was designed by Barcelona-based Irish artist Mark Redden and each bottle is individually numbered.
We've paired this month's wine with some classic Irish literature from the wonderful Colm Tóibín's "The South". Katherine Proctor has dared to leave her family in Ireland and reach out for a new life. Determined to become an artist, she flees to Spain, where she meets Miguel, a passionate man who has fought for his own freedoms. They retreat to the quiet intensity of the mountains and begin to build a life together. But as Miguel's past catches up with him, Katherine too is forced to re-examine her relationships: with her lover, her painting and the homeland she only thought she knew. . .
Old vines. Irish roots. Catalan sunshine. A beautiful bottle and a proper story.
Pick up a bottle. Pick up a book. Reclaim an evening.
