A complex combination of varieties such as Listan Negro, Listan Prieto, Baboso, Negramoll, Malvasia Nera and other local varieties are blended into the single vineyard which is over 100 years old. This ancient vineyard is autochthonous and the plants are cultivated organically, without support, at an altitude of up to about 250 metres directly above the...
The care and the philosophy in the winery does not change, since for the classic Mavrodaphne, which does not carry the organic certification, Slavos chooses gentle natural vinification of the grapes. The wine will mature for twelve months in 500lt barrels, exuding a pleasant herbal sensation, with fresher, red fruit than the organic Mavrodaphne and almost...
Philippe Desbos' approach is based on his respect for tradition, not because of a tendency but bades on the his belief that it makes better wines. Far from all viticultural and technological innovations, he produces his Saint-Joseph from the "fillet" of the great wine-growing zone, following techniques used by his ancestors. He plows the vineyard with the...
Ramisco is a variety with "energy" that needs time to be tamed. Wherever you plant it outside of the Colares sand, its characteristics are very different. Here it showcases the unique, special character of the region that combines native vines, sand, proximity to the ocean, strong sea winds and very deep roots to meet the clay substrate and allow it to...

Dolcetto d’ Alba by the Vajra’s is produced by privately owned vineyards of the estate that are no more than 25 years of age. The extraction doesn’t go beyond fifteen days and the wine ages for a few months in stainless steel tanks before it is bottled in the beginning of the spring following harvest. This is a feast of black cherry and plum aromas that...
"Les Champs des Vosger" is one of the wonderful Fixin, a designation of origin that has a much better terroir than its "low-key" presence in Burgundy suggests. Apparently this is a "key" for the energetic Galeyrand who with his wines gives a new dimension to such -less prominent- regions or vineyards in Burgundy. For Champs des Vosger he uses a 15-20%...
Pleasant, refreshing, with ideal ripeness and breadth in the mouth, free of any harshness. An airy, clear wine from Agiorgitiko that expresses the joy of life, without stylized exuberant barrels, acquired vanillas and excessive extractions on the nose and palate. The red fruit excels, crystal clear, expressive along with some smoke, fresh acidity and...
Similar to all the wines made by the pioneering Marcel Lapierre and nowadays his family, the grapes for Raisins Gaulois comes from organic vineyards and are whole bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts. We are talking about young vines here mostly coming from the Morgon appellation but also from the wider area of Beaujolais and by labelling itself as Vin...
The harvest for the three varieties is simultaneous with Mavrodaphne at high maturity but Araklino and Korfiatiko at an earlier stage, providing the blend with serious vitality and excellent acidity. A wonderfully balanced wine with moderate volume and elegant tannins with texture that gives a sense of fullness in the mouth without a trace of astringency....
