The wine comes from two organic vineyards at 1,050 meters altitude — one with a western exposure (Agios Ilias) and the other with an eastern exposure (Allama ton Gynaikon). The vines are bush-trained (gobelet), dry-farmed without irrigation, and within the vineyard, Yiannoudi is interplanted with Spourtiko, Morokanella, and Xynisteri — a common practice...
Organically grown grapes from ungrafted vines of exceptional quality were the starting point. After destemming, they remained with the skins for one week in egg-shaped concrete tanks. Following gentle pressing at low pressure, fermentation was completed in the same concrete tanks, where the wine stayed in contact with the lees until bottling....
Classic, a little rustic, the best you can expect from Italy in this quality/price ratio. And if Chianti brings to mind trattorias and red tablecloths, therein lies its charm. It's direct, familiar, enjoyable and utterly comforting. All this delivered through a quality lens that in recent years has revolutionised the region and restored its name in wine...
Classic Xinomavro on the nose, with aromas of ripe cherry, strawberry, and forest fruits, while hints of tertiary characteristics begin to emerge discreetly. The wine comes from the single-varietal vineyard surrounding the estate, with relatively young vines that have now completed the replanting of the family vineyard that began at least a decade ago. On...
A Gevrey of amazing "form", athletic, muscular, full of power and energy from the old vineyards in an exceptional vineyard in the middle of a south-southeast facing slope on limestone with embedded marine fossils. The vineyard is farmed with certified organic farming and biodynamic practices and Galeyrand's non-intrusive, old school winemaking is the same...
The wine is vinified by means of carbonic maceration and with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulphites during vinification and maturation of the wine. A small percentage of sulphites is added only before the wine is bottled. The philosophy of winemaking with minimal intervention, just as it does with its fantastic cru, is followed in Wild...
In the cru of Regnie are most of Julien Sunier's own vineyards in great "Lieux dits" such as En Oeillat. Here the vines are old, with an average age of 60 years, and are located at an altitude of between 280-400 meters on pink granitic sand with clay in the subsoil. Vinification is in an anaerobic environment (maceration carbonic) for about 10-20 days and...
Classical carbonic and semi-carbonic maceration with whole bunches for 10 to 20 days, followed by pressing in an old vertical press and maturation of the wine for 8-11 months in 10-year-old barrels in contact with the lees. This is a wine with the "upbringing" of a great Burgundy, elegant, light and ethereal, with lovely, clean fruit and a "tight"...
