Dry, Amber, Qvevri, Unfiltered Wine.

Wine is made from bio/organically treated central Georgian grape variety Chinuri. It's made in Qvevri with central Georgian traditional vinification method, with 10% skins contact and several weeks of maceration.

Wine is made 100% naturally, without any additives, without added sulfites, without clarification or filtration. That means that during storage appearance of sediment is to be expected. Appearance of sediment does not mean that the wine is spoiled or its quality is reduced. Sediment is a result of physical and chemical processes that goes in wines during ageing process.

Wine is characterized with higher acidity, rich aromas. It's very light and pleasant, especially in summer time. It matches well with white meat dishes, fish and seafood, cheese and roasted vegetables.

Serve at temperatures between 8-10 centigrade. At this temperature this wine is opening perfectly and expressing itself very well.

From 60 year old vines planted on 1 hectare of stony clay soils. Though this plot has been worked organically for a long time, this plot is under organic and biodynamic conversion. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-October, intensively sorted and de-stemmed. Maceration and spontaneous fermentation lasts for eight weeks (minimum) in clay amphora, with indigenous yeasts, under temperature control. No pumping over occurs, the cap is only distrubed by hand once a day until fermentation is completed wherein the amphora is topped off, and then subject to battonage once a week with inert gas and then closed with a stainless steel top. The wine spends seven months on lees. Aging takes place in the same amphora for 9 months. Unfiltered.

The nose on this extremely cool Niigata sake is a gentle collection of steamed rice, vanilla, mint, hay, toast, and nougat aromas. Stop the presses! This is one of those "Bucket List" brews that every sake drinker on their sake path should try that is void of the word fruit! There are no fruity aromas, and there are no fruity flavors. Huh? Doesn't that just mean dry ricey sake? Nope, it means clean, smooth, soft, creamy, silky, easy, and gentle sake with a brilliant, dry finish. It’s so subtle, but is it? Look for powdered sugar, nougat, burnt sugar, caramel, vanilla, rock candy, mineral water, and honey ice cream flavors that drink drier than you would think. This is very cool sake. 100% guaranteed coolness. WORD: Smooth WINE: Light Reds/Creamy Whites BEER: Light Clean Ales FOODS: All day long izakaya pub fare.

GRAPE: NEBBIOLO

WINEMAKING: Vinification of grapes mostly coming from La Morra and Levice and a small part from Vicoforte and Monticello d’Alba (Roero) too. Alcoholic fermentation happens mostly in concrete and lasts around 10-12 days. Then malolactic takes place in concrete and/or stainless steel and cold stabilization happens outdoor or in conditioned steel tanks. After stabilization, the wine ages for some months in concrete, steel and

plastic, before being bottled, usually in April-May of the year after the harvest

DESCRIPTION: this unoaked, fruity and drinkable nebbiolo is meant to be an easy (yet not trivial) wine to

share with friends during a nice and funny chat. Drink it slightly cold, maybe while sharing a platter of mixed

charcuterie or with some lovely tajarin al ragù.

100% Syrah

Technical Notes: The vineyards are farmed organically (certified by Ecocert). The grapes are hand harvested, and only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation (No added yeasts). Recently they have decided to produce their red wines without the addition of sulphites.

Only 5,300 Cases Produced

Tasting Notes: This wine is deep purple, almost black in the glass.

The nose is full of red fruit, raspberry, and blackcurrant notes, which mingle with hints of garrigue spice. The wine is very supple and lush in the mouth, with intense flavors of blackcurrant and black cherry

fruit. The finish is structured, with ripe silky tannins.

This wine is an ideal companion for grilled meats, especially lamb.

Winemaking

This Bourgogne Aligoté, selected in the vineyard of Auxerre (15 km from Chablis) comes exclusively from Aligoté grape, planted on clayey and chalky soils. A complete analysis of each cuvée at the reception of the grape. Soft and slow pressing to extract the best juices. Slow alcoholic fermentation at 20°C on fine lees with natural yeasts to respect the personality of each terroir. Daily controls of temperature during the fermentation.
The wine is aged on its fine lees during eight months. The lees are regularly moved around during the first months to enrich the structure of the wine. The winemaking is entirely done in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and the typicity of the wine.

Tasting Notes

The Bourgogne Aligoté is a white wine, greedy and fresh. Thanks to its freshness and fine liveliness, it is perfect as an aperitif wine. It will be better tasted young in order to preserve that freshness.
Serve at around 10-11°C with a plate of sausages and ham or with mixed salad.

A quality Pinot Grigio, Claris delivers a bouquet of white flowers and soft citrus notes. On the palate, the citrus element continues and is matched with marked minerality and good, crisp acidity that make this wine wonderfully refreshing. This wine would make an excellent accompaniment to shellfish and seafood options, yet is versatile enough to make a great pairing with savory white meat dishes.

Chavost has been in existence since 1946. Though it was a typical cooperative for decades, Chavost recently took a new direction. It urged all of its growers to convert to organic farming, and started making wine with no added sulfites, no fining or filtering, and no dosage. It’s a tricky business in Champagne, but with this wine, Chavost is showing it can be done. The nose is alive and mineral-driven with notes of fresh apples. The palate is crisp and structured with good texture and overall balance.Varietals: Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier

Farming: Organic/Biodynamic, No added SO2

In the glass, a frothy, energetic mousse reveals itself before quickly subsiding and returning jaw-droppingly pure aromas of freshly cut green apple, white peach, Anjou pear, Rainier cherry, crushed chalk, and wet rock. This is a tantalizing, deeply refreshing champagne brimming with energy and a crystalline purity that calls to mind the region’s finest biodynamic leaders.

Fermented on spontaneous, airborne yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic was also carried out naturally. The resulting wine was transferred into bottle and aged for at least 20 months before disgorgement without a gram of sugar (Brut Nature) or a single dose of sulfur.

100% Certified Organic Yellow Muscat

WINEMAKING

Destemming and cold maceration for about 3 days. Soft pressing and clarification by static decantation;

spontaneous fermentation in steel tank. Wine left in contact with lees for 60 days. Enriched with must from

same vintage, goes through its second fermentation in the bottle. Not filtered or clarified.

TASTING NOTES

Straw yellow color with golden highlights, thanks to the skin maceration of three days. The glazing is given by

the presence of suspended yeasts, with which the wine was bottled and with which it referments in the bottle.

Intense on the nose, it releases aromas of white flowers such as jasmine and field yellow, such as dandelion,

broom, orange blossom and fruit such as peach and pear. The presence of aromatic herbs such as sage, limoncella

and mint, a touch of white pepper just hinted at and a delicate sulphurous sensation make the bouquet of

the wine complex and intriguing.

On the palate it is fresh, mineral and salty, the hints of fruit and aromatic herbs return in the wake of a persistence

that closes with a bitter mineral almond finish, which invites you to drink.

Pouilly-Fumé is very close to Sancerre, in terms of grape variety (same, Sauvignon Blanc) and terroir (just on the other side of the river).

ALLO may sound like a greeting, or perhaps it refers to the famous BBC television sitcom ‘Allo ‘Allo! that always brought a laugh. More seriously, the name is a merge of Alvarinho and Loureiro’s initials, two noble grape varieties of the Minho Region in northern Portugal. Loureiro, representing the majority (70%) of the blend, provides floral notes. Alvarinho, on the other hand, is responsible for the wine’s structure. By combining the delicate nature of Loureiro with the confidence of Alvarinho, ALLO is a wine that embodies both the fun and serious sides of our Territory.

From plots on each of the region’s three renowned soil types, this is a lively and aromatically expressive Sancerre Blanc. Orange and grapefruit on the nose, plus fleshy citrus tension on the palate, culminate in floral notes that linger on the long finish. The nose is expressive and delicate with aromas of citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit). The attack is frank, the mouth offers a fleshy tension. Fruit enlivens the whole (orange wedge, lemon), with a long return to passion fruit. Floral notes (rose petals) ensure a beautiful finish and bring an airy touch.
