Jose Antonio Garcia en zijn vrouw Julia zijn onmiskenbaar onderdeel van de nieuwe generatie wijnmakers in Bierzo. Hun passie en streven naar authenticiteit en duurzaamheid resulteren in verfijnde wijnen met een gastronomische impact. Tijdens ons bezoek aan hun domein waren we onder de indruk van hun nauwgezette aanpak en de zorgvuldige handelingen in zowel de wijngaarden als de wijnkelders.

Jose en Julia bezitten ongeveer 17 hectare wijngaarden, voornamelijk in de gemeente Valtuille de Abajo en een kleiner deel in Corúllon. Beide gemeentes zijn al generaties lang verbonden met Bierzo; zelfs de ouders van Jose hadden wijngaarden in eigendom. Ze werken zelf hard in de wijngaarden en de wijnmakerij, wat de benaming ‘VITICULTOR’ op hun etiket verklaart. Bij de start van hun domein kochten ze enkele oude wijngaarden, variërend van 80 tot 120 jaar oud, en herstelden deze in hun biodiversiteit. Deze wijnstokken dateren uit het tijdperk zonder de verschillende klonen die werden gecreëerd om hogere rendementen te halen. De kracht en het resultaat van deze heropbouw en leeftijd zijn duidelijk zichtbaar wanneer je door hun wijngaarden wandelt en deze vergelijkt met die van de buren. Hun aanpak is bijzonder strikt en getuigd van zelfopgelegde discipline en doorzettingsvermogen, enkel lokale compost wordt gebruikt en enkel biologische groeimethoden worden toegepast.

Unculin is een zeer sappige en energieke rode wijn, die als entry-level wijn onmiddellijk de nieuwsgierigheid wekt naar de andere wijnen van het domein. Tegenover de vroegere vaak over-geëxtraheerde mencia-wijnen die de regio produceerde, biedt deze wijn net de nodige 'jus', expressiviteit en finesse. Bierzo kent sinds de laatste jaren een kwaliteitsindeling die te vergelijken valt met het systeem in Bourgogne: regionale, gemeentelijke en single vineyards. Deze Unculin valt onder het gemeentelijke niveau of Vino de Villa, uit de gemeente Valtuille de Abajo. Deze wijn is afkomstig van meer dan 75 verschillende micro-stukjes wijngaard, versplinterd over de valleien van Valtuille op +/- 550 meter boven zeeniveau. Enkel handwerk in de wijngaarden, ook tijdens de oogst, enkel 70% wordt ontrist (ook met de hand...), 30% fermentatie van de volledige trossen. Dit alles gebeurt in roestvrijstalen tanks, na een aantal maanden rijping op de fijne droesem en malolactische fermentatie in roestvrij staal, wordt de wijn kort overgeheveld naar foeders om wat zuurstof en maturiteit te krijgen.

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.

Would not recommend
Style: SPF 50
I literally never write reviews but felt compelled to write one for this sunscreen because I was very caught off guard by all the positive reviews. This sunscreen leaves the most insane white sheen that never soaks in and gets on EVERYTHING. I put this on and drove to the beach and had sunscreen on my car seat, the steering wheel, the center console, the door, EVERYWHERE! It took forever to clean up and was such a hassle and that was after having let the sunscreen soak into my skin for an hour. Also the sunscreen is really thick and difficult to spread and makes you look ghostly white. Plus, the sunscreen has a really odd odor that reminded me of play dough? That might not be a negative thing for everyone but I found it unpleasant. There are definitely better mineral sunscreens out there. For the price I expected a much better product.

Sticky and white
Style: SPF 50
The sunscreen has a very sticky and thick texture. It will keep you from getting sunburnt, but it will also leave you with a white color.
