Vidiano and Thrapsathiri from vineyards of the Rethymnon area at altitudes between 560-900m. The vines are a combination of younger vineyards and age-old autochthonous stumps on clay and shale soils, 10-100 years old. Iliana Malihin's classic - non-intrusive - winemaking with indigenous yeasts, minimal sulphites and no collage or filtration give a wine...
Before the alcoholic fermentation begins, a short period of contact with the skins for a few hours precedes the fermentation and then the wine is fermented with native yeasts at a controlled temperature. It will be worked with the lees for about a month and a half slightly increasing the complexity levels of the wine. On the nose, fruity aromas...
The character of the winemaking method does not win here, something for which orange wines are often blamed, saying that they have a uniform style regardless of their origin. Eastern Accents is a completely natural wine produced by Anna Maria Reka.Koncz with minimal sulfites ranging between 15mg/l. The wine is vinified in plastic glass tanks and relies on...
A blend of four different varieties that, with the exception of Furmint which makes up 60% of the wine, you have probably never heard of in your life. The winemaking for the Furmint that comes from Tokaj is done separately while the other three varieties from field blend vineyards are blended. Furmint is left in contact with its skins for 15 days. Wood...
Annamaria uses grapes from both the region she grew up in, that of Barabas, and from the village of Mad in Tokaj, where she buys from an organic grape producer, the famous Furmint. Robin is one of the producer's own favourite wines and as with all her wines everything is done manually and without the use of equipment. Even the removal of sediment from the...
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...
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...
