Le Fleq is the personal project of Flequi Berruti, a Jerez native based in Madrid. This red comes from a young vineyard in the interior of the Marco de Jerez, farmed organically with a maximum of two kilos of fruit per vine, under IGP Cádiz. 100% Pinot Noir; 930 bottles were made of the 2023 vintage.

Vinified by 100% whole-bunch fermentation with all stems included, the wine undergoes 22 days of maceration managed entirely by hand before ageing in 500-litre French oak barrels.

Le Fleq Tinto 2023

Produced by Flequi Berruti, a winemaker originally from Jerez now based in Madrid, Le Fleq is a personal project dedicated to expressing the distinct terroir of southern Spain. This red wine hails from Andalucía, specifically within the IGP Cádiz appellation in Spain. The 2023 vintage represents a limited release, with only 930 bottles produced.

The grapes are sourced from a young vineyard located in the interior of the Marco de Jerez area. The vines are cultivated using organic methods and adhere to strict yield limits, producing a maximum of two kilograms of grapes per vine. This variety selection focuses exclusively on Pinot Noir (100%), a grape typically associated with cooler climates, yet here it thrives under specific low-yield conditions.

The winemaking process is characterized by minimal intervention and careful handling. The fermentation utilizes 100% whole-cluster inclusion, meaning the stems remain intact during the process to contribute structure and complexity. Maceration lasts 22 days. During this time, the cap management is performed manually with soft techniques to ensure gentle extraction without harsh tannins. After these stages, Le Fleq rests in 500-liter barrels made from French oak, allowing it to mature and integrate its components before bottling.

The resulting wine offers a profile shaped by both the unique microclimate of the Cádiz interior and Berruti’s hands-on approach. The combination of whole-cluster fermentation and extended maceration suggests a structure that balances freshness with depth, while the French oak aging adds subtle complexity. This vintage serves as an experimental yet refined interpretation of Pinot Noir in a warm Spanish context, reflecting the winemaker’s dedication to quality over quantity through rigorous vineyard management and precise vinification techniques.

The wine was going to be called «mumáa», which is how you say mothers in the speech of Jerez, and it is dedicated to them: «to some great fighters, our mumáa». Legal issues made that name impossible to register, so it ended up as Le Fleq, but the dedication stands.

Flequi Berruti was born in Jerez and made his career in Madrid, in wine: he worked at La Tintorería Vinoteca and at Alma Vinos Únicos. He has made wine in the Montes de Toledo, in Ribera del Duero and in Cebreros, and with this small project he has come back to his own ground.

The wine is born in Jerez and raised in La Isla: the fruit comes from the Viña La Zarzuela, in the Añina pago, and the ageing is done in San Fernando, in the Bay of Cádiz.

These are thirty-year-old vines pruned in the traditional Jerez way, farmed organically, with a cap of two kilos of fruit per vine. The wine is Palomino Fino with small amounts of Perruno, Cañocazo, Mantuo and Moscatel, varieties that were once common in Jerez and are barely seen today.

It ferments and ages ten months in new 500-litre French oak barrels from the central forests, with some veil of flor, and is barely filtered.
