Benje Blanco is produced on the northwest side of Tenerife in the most mountainous organic vineyards at an altitude of around 1000m. The vines are autochthonous, ranging in age from 70 to 100 years and the Listan Blanco variety may be better known to you as Palomino Fino from the dry sherry of the Andalusian coast. Of course here Listan Blanco comes...
The French response to a dry German Riesling is as sharp as this youthful and fresh Muscadet. It is a combination of young and older vines from different terroirs on the estate with very careful yields, which is the Achilles' heel of Muscadet. The use of whole bunches, spontaneous fermentation in glass-lined concrete vats and six months of contact with...
Black cherry aromas, licorice and violet intertwined with finesse, paint a sensation of freshness and energy on a canvas of refined silky beautifully structured tannins. And don’t forget to add to that mix the superb stony minerality associated to the Morgon terroir. It is hard to resist the bright fruit of this wonderful Beaujolais at its youth but give...
For La Stropa the grape drying process is masterful, full of detail and without the use of technology. Strictly selected and healthy grapes are left for about 3 months in small wooden crates which are placed on top of each other in a well-ventilated and cool environment on the roof of the winery. From there on, fermentation in oak tanks is spontaneous and...

If simple Chianti Classico or Meraviglie epitomize the casual and straightforward style of wine, here we have a more mature and aged version that manages to balance both pleasure and seriousness. If you...
Short skin contact at low temperatures. The must from the red varieties is blended with the fermenting must of Muscat of Spina, enhancing both color and aromatic complexity. The wine remains in contact with fine lees in stainless steel tanks for about three months, gaining volume and a touch of complexity. A versatile wine suitable for all...
With blanc de noir vinification the image of red Xinomavro changes completely, producing a different style of wine. After the grapes are destemmed, a very gentle crushing of the grapes follows, with only 30% of free-flowing juice being quickly removed to avoid picking up pigments or other phenolic elements of the grapes. Fermentation is slow, spontaneous...
A fifty-year-old vineyard that shines thanks to the efforts of Panagiotis and his ancestors to help it live effectively and without chemical interference. It is nature itself that is radiant and seeing it makes you realize the importance of standing a step back, observing carefully and listening to the needs of nature. She in turn reciprocates with a wine...
