Mad the village, Disorder the name of the wine, Annamaria carries the "madness" of her youth and never stops creating wines that are exciting and outside the norm. It may be that the "humble" non-denomination of origin 100% Furmint she produces cannot have the name of the variety on the label, as the law only allows it for wines of Hungarian origin, but...
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...
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...
A field blend vineyard with Riesling varieties, the different Pinots of Alsace and some Muscat and Chasselas. Organic and biodynamic farming as in all 26 hectares of Deiss vineyards with an also old-school approach to winemaking, a reference to Alsace's past. Pressing of blended grapes with whole bunches, spontaneous fermentation and maturation for 12...
"Les Pierres Plates" comes from the homonymous vineyard in Reuilly on limestone soils filled with fossilized shells in an area that was once the bottom of a large sea. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and in the winery interventions are minimal, highlighting the specificity of the terroir. Pulsating, lemony fruit, on a nose of crystal clarity with...
It will not remind anyone of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The green notes are in the background, while the intense lemony aromas and fruit like green apple and grapefruit come out in front, giving it freshness combined with a very mineral chalky character. With its acidity levels you feel it is dry to the bone, very refreshing and relatively light and...
Its name means the cradle of the fairies and is borrowed from the forest bordering the young vines of the Domaine aux Moines estate. The vines are grown organically and with biodynamic practices and the wine is produced with a perfectly gentle natural vinification, with indigenous yeasts and no added sulphites. The wine is vinified and matured in...

A wine from a continuous vineyard of twenty acres of dense planting, cultivated with mild techniques and with very low yields (only 4 to 5 bunches) per plant. Fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and during the fermentation the wine is decanted into foudres and 500l demi-muids. Maturation takes place for 10 months in contact with fine lees and the...
All wines in the Mosaik line are vinified in the large centennial foudres of the estate, and the fermentation like in all wines of this estate is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts. On the nose it is highly aromatic leaning towards aromas like tropical fruits, sweet and pungent spices and rose water. Its alcohol is quite high, and its style is off dry...
From the steep slopes of the Pfersigberg and the fossil-rich limestone soils, the Riesling manages to combine amazing levels of ripeness and juicy character, with intense minerality and refreshing acidity. Citrus aromas, juicy white-fleshed fruit, honey and smoky mineral character lead to a rich, honeyed mouthfeel, with spicy notes and a persistent...
Moinoterra's Vilana comes from a single vineyard at 500 metres altitude. And while in the fertile lowland parts of Crete and with management leading to high yields, the wines will lose their character by being watery and with little flavour, mountainous steep dry vineyards on poorer soils will give weight and concentration. At the vinification level after...
