The grape blend is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch), two grapes grown in the Mátra region from organically certified vineyards. The two varieties are subjected to very gentle pressing and vinified in closed containers, with very gentle and soft extraction of the juice with the skins. Something which keeps the tannins at very low...
Another elaborate winemaking by the young producer that follows her totally non-intrusive philosophy and the absence of the use of advanced equipment in the production of her wines. 50% of the grapes are very lightly crushed followed by a short and gentle maceration for 4-5 days with the stems. Fermentation continues in plastic and fiberglass. The...
One of the most authentic expressions of the variety that seems to respond extremely well to the terroir of Amyndeon, developing all its desirable characteristics. The wine is produced from organic vineyards and at the winery fermentation is spontaneous with the minimal intervention philosophy of Lawrence Hartmann. It is matured like the Xinomavro for 16...
A Xinomavro texture, giving the sensation of velvet in the mouth but at the same time its energy and freshness give you goose bumps. Its complexity is a layered result of an excellent year, each sip makes you notice something new. Like a great book, each new reading gives you another perspective that you didn't perceive in your previous encounter with it....
Milia Riza's Blanc de Noir Agiorgitiko comes exclusively from the estate's organic vineyards located on sandy clay soils in the Xerocampos and Poria locations. The base wine will remain in contact with the lees for a few months in stainless steel tanks with periodic stirring of the lees and then "inoculated" again to carry out the second fermentation in...
Isole e Olena Chianti Classico is yet another example of the finesse and delicacy of the wines of Paolo de Marchi. Fresh and juicy with the classic notes of red cherry, mint and licorice, wrapped around the typical fine tannins of Sangiovese and all this on top of a palate that is overwhelming you with the freshness of its acidity. Elements of smoke and a...
Aori means "mountain" in the local dialect and this is the name chosen by Aimilios Andrey for his project, indicating the search and revival of mountain vineyards in the White Mountains of Chania. The Muscat Spinas he produces is vinified in anodised tanks using neutral cultured yeasts and the brief contact with the lees helps the wine to build complexity...
Ripe fruit in the foreground along with spicier, mineral aromas and floral notes of dried flowers and nuts. The palate has a nice texture and moderate volume, balanced acidity and citrus peel with ripe apricot and banana. It is extremely enjoyable to drink and does not lack personality and character. Not intended for long aging but will evolve over 3-4...
An incredible "polyphony" of aromas and flavours in another unique Deiss style. Grasberg is perhaps the top of their premier cru, an altitude vineyard that combines minerality, energy, the freshness of the site and the limestone soils along with the notes of botrytis which here does not feel heavy against the wine but the wine manages to have a "crystal"...
Deiss himself describes it as an "iron fist" wrapped in a velvet glove to describe this combination of tannic power of Gruenspiel's lands and dense fruit, all culminating in a huge long finish. A wine that insistently demands food. Dry, tannic, firm yet dense at the same time with great extract. The wine evolves in a surprising way as it ages, with the...
Its name comes from the red soils which are calcareous and rich in iron and have this red hue. The grapes from the vineyard (part of Rotenberg) are vinified in contact with the skins and are a combination of Riesling and Pinot Gris planted in 1982. The colour is amber, the nose is surprisingly intense with a combination of spicy Asian spices, lemon zest...
