The vineyards are cultivated under the supervision of local winemakers and Roberto Santana from Envinate. The harvest, as with all wines, is manual and the grapes are pressed whole in large concrete tanks where they ferment spontaneously. Maturation takes place in two large oval-shaped foudres and concrete tanks, and the wine is bottled unfiltered and...
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...
Exceptionally small production, Un Sang Blanc captures the style of Southern Rhône wines beautifully, combining that oily, oily character and creamy texture with a thirst-quenching yet freshness. Like all the winery's wines, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine will be aged in contact with...
This particular Haute Densité, high density planting piece, is a small part of the 1er Cru vineyard "Derriere Chez Edouard" at its steepest and steepest point. So steep and densely planted that everything is done by hand. Scary when you consider the work required, as it's not just planting densities but Olivier applies all his vine-related "craziness"...
Think about how many white wines on the planet you can buy in the 15 euro price range that come from an altitude of up to 1150m, vineyards that are on average 70-80 years old and can age fantastically. One such wine, from the untouched terroir of the highlands of Paphos, is Alina. An excellent capture of the wild terroir of the area known as Vouni Panagia...
The vinification starts with the maceration of the grapes at low temperatures for twelve hours while the maturation takes place in French and American barrels of two and three years. The wine will remain in the barrels for four months in full contact with the fine lees. Tropical fruit on the nose, combined with more herbal notes and beautifully integrated...
The name given to it is a reminder of the difficulty that the fruit and the vine face in the conditions of the year. The bunches selected for this micro-pressing were traditionally pressed by foot and then pressed in a vertical wooden press. In this process the must was in prolonged contact with oxygen which is reflected in the oxidative colour of the...
The amazingly concentrated juice from the old vines, part of which is located in the Raverettes vineyard, is vinified in old demi-muids (600lt) 10 years old, perfectly traditional as a reference to the winemaking style of the past and their great-grandfather. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in demi-muids also for a year where...
