Our vacuum sealed Wine Tap ensures that our wine will stay fresh for at least six weeks after opening, and is better for the environment Almaden Wine Taps require far less enemy to produce, ship and display than the six and two thirds heavy glass hordes that they replace, reducing the carbon footprint by over 60%.
The climate here is perfect for ripening the fruit while maintaining plenty of zingy acidity, so it’s no wonder why rows of Sauvignon extend as far as the eye can see, interrupted only by the Loire Valley’s splendid châteaux and the meandering river itself.
Thibaud Boudignon has gone through the three stages of small-producer cultdom. First, there were the tweets and instagram posts. Maybe a foreign blog or small magazine article. The allusions to his wine were rapturous, but enigmatic and mostly from overseas.
While Silvaner remains the second most planted grape (after Riesling) in Germany, it has always remained tucked in the shadows. Frank Heyden quietly makes this example from old vines, and the quality shines so brightly that all shadows disappear in a fresh, zesty, mouth-wateringly delicious wash of Silvaner-ish-ness. Juicy and floral from start to finish, this is a great example of coaxing the best from a grape.
The Salem Wine Company was started by star-sommelier, Rajat Paar, and his partner and esteemed winemaker, Sashi Moorman. Fruit comes from the biodynamically-farmed Seven Springs Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills subregion of Willamette Valley, OR and is fermented with native yeasts (nothing added), fermented in large, neutral oak and is naturally clarified without filtration.
The frozen Gewurztraminer grapes were harvested in late December when temperatures fell between -10ºC and -13ºC. After setting the juice in stainless steel tanks, cool fermentation was completed. The wine was then placed outside to complete a natural cold stabilization.
This fabulous wine is composed by 100% Chardonnay and praises the denomination Alto Adige DOC. The vineyards are cultivated in the classic area of Cornaiano, on the hills of Oltradige and in Egna, where the lands reach 500 meters elevation.
Very pale gold in color, this classic Chardonnay is the ideal balance of Old World restraint with California sunshine. The aromas and flavors are delicate, with citrus, floral and mineral notes on a wine of fresh acidity and medium body.
With cellars located in the charming, hilltop town of Sancerre, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron have vineyards in mainly the eastern part of Sancerre on hard, flinty soils as well as smaller holding on softer limestone and clay soils.
Sal da Terra is comprised of wine from two of Eulogio’s own parcels. The first, Francón, is immediately adjacent to the Ría de Arousa which gives it direct Atlantic influence. The soils are sandy granite and red clay with 35-year-old vines trained on pergolas.
The finest rendition of this cuvée to date, Santenay Les Vignes Denses derives from high-density plantings in lieu-dit Les Prarons. Unwinding in the glass with notions of crisp Anjou pear, lemon oil, vanilla pod and crushed chalk, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with a deep core of fruit that's framed by chalky dry extract and racy acids. This is worth a special effort to seek out.
A perfumed and very pretty nose is composed of various floral nuances that sit atop notes of green apples, spice and plenty of citrus influence. There is excellent volume, richness and mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver a bit more overall depth if a bit less finesse on the youthfully austere finale.
Color: shiny, with a greenish-yellow hue.Aroma: of medium intensity, with notes of candied fruits, mango, yellow melon, and quince.
