Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
On some very old vines located in a slopping site of Bouzy, next to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, exist varieties like Pinot Gris, Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc that used to thrive in Champagne. Benoit himself hasn’t yet managed to identify all the varieties of this specific plot (among them and some not allowed any more in Champagne...
Crémant du Jura Blanc de Noirs comes from wines from two different vintages, 2020 and 2021. The Pinot Noir vines are planted on clay and limestone soils with a south and west orientation. The 45-year-old vineyards have been cultivated organically and biodynamically since 1999, with limited interventions and the use of their own compost. Harvesting is done...
The character of Sangiovese raises gloriously out of the glass. Black and red cherry, plum, tea leaves, dried herbs and box of tobacco aromas and cedar all lead to a complex palate, rich and with length but at the same time fresh and with energy. For yet another year tannins of outstanding texture that unveil in the glass and form the backbone of the wine...
The nose is rich and hedonistic, with the typical “signature” of Xinomavro in full display. On the palate, however, the experience gains more tension: the variety’s characteristic “bite” is present, though not sharp — more of a reminder of its true identity. Neither rustic nor modern, the wine strikes a flawless balance between fruit and structure. A...
The grapes come from a single vineyard at a very high altitude of 650 meters south of the Archanes area. The vineyard is 17 years old and dry with a very low yield per hectare and the soil is stony with a slight slope. The two varieties were vinified separately with long macerations while only the prorogos was used and to emphasize the fruity...
The fine Listán Blanco grapes from the Los Realejos vineyard are planted at high altitude on volcanic rock and trained using the unique "cordon trenzado" system, characteristic of Orotava. The wine was aged in large Foudre barrels for about 10 months and bottled almost untouched, unfiltered, and with minimal sulfites. The combination of low alcohol and...
Edenia Luna is a wine made from 100% Limniona grapes, produced organically with minimal intervention. And why would anyone want to interfere with the low-yield, exceptional quality fruit produced by the semi-mountainous rocky vineyards of the Tsililis Terres winery in the heart of Meteora? The vinification is spontaneous and the wine is aged for 12...
The nose reveals aromas of grapefruit, lime, lemon, and apricot, while the palate is characterized by refreshing acidity and relatively good volume. It was vinified in stainless steel tanks and remained in contact with the lees for a few months to develop more character and texture. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, fried fish, and fresh salads.
Tsililis Terres Iggla is produced from grapes harvested by hand in vineyards located at an altitude of over 300 meters, with a 10% slope, clay-limestone soils, and schistose subsoil. Yields per hectare are low, cultivation is dry, and grape concentration is excellent. Limniona and a small percentage of Xinomavro are co-fermented with indigenous yeasts and...
