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...
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...
Let’s set aside any marketing gimmicks and focus on the essence of the matter. The two micro-batches of Kallos from 1979 Wines, from the 2023 vintage, are two stunning and fascinatingly different Retsinas. Initial research highlighted the quality of the aromas from a retsina harvested sustainably, and in a second phase, by taking this pure retsina—capable...
With Etna Bianco from the dramatic, dark, volcanic ash-filled terroir of Santo Spirito, Marco de Grazia takes fruit ripeness, complexity, and length on the palate to another level. Initially somewhat closed and compact, over time it unfolds a deep, earthy, mineral dimension and greater extroversion in the fruit, which borders on the exotic. The barrel is...
The Champalou family's dry Vouvray is a perfect representation of the region's style. It is a textbook example of the Chenin Blanc variety as expressed in this corner of the Loire. Here the chameleonic dimension of the grape, which can display many different "faces", finds its most classic expression. Unripe tropical fruit, fleshy lemons, honey and...
The blend is dominated by Assyrtiko, with Malagouzia accounting for approximately 20%, enhancing the aromatic intensity alongside the characteristic freshness and pulsating energy of the wine. The vineyards are organically cultivated, with the grapes pressed whole, together with the stems. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, with indigenous yeasts, in...
Amphibolite remains in contact with the lees for six months. Vinification takes place in concrete underground tanks and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, as Jo does with all his wines. It is by no means a neutral wine and remains entirely consistent with the style of the region. Mineral, with beautifully juicy if slightly acidic citrus...
Les Graviers comes from six different vineyards covering a total area of 2.8 hectares, all organically farmed since 1999 and biodynamically since 2004, certified by Ecocert and Biodyvin. The harvest is manual, the grapes are pressed whole with a pneumatic press, fermentation is indigenous, and aging lasts 24 months in 228-liter barrels, 15% of which are...
A percentage of 10% of the grape stays in contact with the peels for six days while the rest is taken to the pneumatic press where the whole bunches are pressed. The fermentation starts spontaneously and the wine will remain in contact with the wine lees for 6 months while for most of the time the Bâtonnage technique is applied and no sulfites are added...
Savagnin Ouillé comes from 25-year-old vineyards on clay soils from the Triassic period, facing east. The vineyards have been cultivated organically since 1999 and biodynamically since 2004, with traditional soil care and the application of natural treatments with sulfur, copper, and herbal infusions. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in...
From 2 hectares of organically and biodynamically cultivated vineyards, En Barberon Chardonnay combines spontaneous fermentation with 24 months of aging in 228-liter barrels (12% new). Its fruit is ripe and concentrated, combined with freshness and minerality reminiscent of smoke. Creamy and spicy on the palate, with great length and a beautiful light...
