Fruity nuances of<br />white peach and yellow tropical fruit, some quince, spiced bread and brioche. Creamy yet firm texture, mineral and salty finish.600 BLANC DE BLANCS: The<br />uncompromising one.<br /><br />'When we start a sparkling wine project, we only do so with the aim of being among the absolute top,' says President Andreas Kofler. The goal was achieved, and the first<br />600 was pressed in 2014.<br />

Südtiroler Weiß DOC Appius...
Appius<br /><br />2013<br /><br />Also the IV. The fourth edition of APPIUS, Hans Terzer's dream wine, remains true to the principle of its creator: 'to give the best expression to the respective vintage<br />through selection and targeted vinification of excellent grape lots': 2013 was characterised by a relatively late harvest, which brought us fully ripe grapes with very pithy<br />acidity, beautiful fruit and intense aromatics. The Cuvee with a main share of Chardonnay, is combined with shares of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc. The<br />result: a multi-layered complex nose with exotic fruit notes such as: Pineapple, papaya, passion fruit, but also hints of Williams pear and apple as well as slightly floral<br />notes. Dense and creamy on the palate with mineral acidity and a never-ending finish. A finesse-rich, elegant, but nevertheless very complex white wine in keeping with the<br />vintage, which promises extraordinary drinking pleasure even after many years.<br /><br />Eye: bright, clear straw yellow with green reflections.<br />Nose: complex scents / aromas of pineapple, papaya, passion fruit.<br />Taste: mineral, complex, immensely long finish<br /><br />Varietal description: Chardonnay (55%), Sauvignon (25%), Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc<br />Growing region: Site: selected vineyards in Eppan<br />Exposure: south-east / south-west<br />Soils: Calcareous gravel or moraine debris soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br />Vine age: 25 to 35 years<br />Harvest: end of September - beginning of October<br />Vinification: Fermentation, malolactic fermentation and ageing in barriques.

Tinto Pesquera 2019 750ml
The bodega Tinto Pesquera is located in Pesquera de Duero, a village about 200 km north of Madrid, in the Ribera del Duero. This region is about 115 km long and takes its<br />name from the word ribera, which means cultivated fields near a watercourse. The soil is of alluvial origin characterised by the presence of clay, sand and infiltrations of<br />limestone and debris, while the climate is continental. In a cellar dating back to the 16th century, Alejandro Fernández created Tinto Pesquera in the 1970s: the name of his<br />winery, in a short time, embodied the renaissance of Spanish wine and especially Tempranillo. Tinto Pesquera is the result of Alejandro Fernández's close bond with his<br />land, Pesquera de Duero, so much so that his wine label features the town's symbols: its name, its tower and its arch. After alcoholic fermentation, the Tinto Pesquera<br />wines are not clarified and mature in French and American barriques for 18 months for the Tinto Pesquera and 24 months for the Reserva. In truly special vintages, the Tinto<br />Pesquera Janus Gran Reserva is produced, a single vineyard Tempranillo that is the epitome of elegance of this variety.<br /><br />Varietal: Tempranillo.<br /><br />Vineyards: The vineyards used to produce the Tinto Pesquera are located in Roa and La Horra (approximately 800 metres above sea level) in Ribiera del Duero. The soils are<br />heterogeneous, predominantly clay marl with the presence of limestone.<br /><br />Vinification: the wine ages 14 months in American oak barrels, then 6 months in the bottle before release.<br /><br />Characteristics: characterised by its brilliant colour, garnet hue, attractive and elegant. On the nose it has notes of red berries blending with balsamic hints. In the mouth it<br />is sweet, combining fruity hints with balsamic notes and liquorice.<br />

Malbec Riserva ALTOS Las...
Altos Las Hormigas was founded in Mendoza in 1995 by oenologist Alberto Antonini and entrepreneur Antonio Morescalchi, later joined by Attilio<br />Pagli and Carlos Vazquez. The property extends in the Mendoza region and in particular in the two subzones of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú, where the<br />first Altos Las Hormigas vineyards were planted in 1996. At present, the agronomic management of the land aims to protect the natural heritage of<br />the region, whose particular beauty is also due to the fact that it lies at the foot of Aconcagua, an Andean mountain, to the east of which the largest<br />portion of the estate faces. The nature of the soils is clay-limestone with alluvial sedimentation, and in some areas has sand and pebbles. The climate<br />of the region is characterised by dry periods and a marked temperature alternation: very hot days and cold nights. The winery currently covers an area<br />of 206 hectares, 40 of which are planted to Malbec and 6 to Bonarda. Harvesting is done manually and takes place in February and March. Altos Las<br />Hormigas wines are the result of little intervention in the cellar, aimed at enhancing the incredible heritage of Malbec vinified in purity.<br /><br />Varietal: Malbec.<br /><br />Vineyards: The grapes come from vineyards located on limestone soils in the Uco Valley, alluvial deposits of the Tunuyán River in Paraje Altamira and<br />Gualtallary. These terraces are characterised by the presence of medium to large gravel covered with calcium carbonate paste.<br /><br />Vinification: Malbec Reserve 2017 is made from hand-picked Malbec grapes.<br />During fermentation, excessive extraction is avoided and only indigenous yeasts are used. The wine matures for 22 months in 3,500-litre, unroasted<br />French oak barrels and then ages 12 months in the bottle.<br /><br />Characteristics: Malbec Reserve 2017 is characterised by spicy notes such as white and pink pepper, violets, graphite, red fruits, berries and underbrush.<br />Complex, long, it is an evolving wine in the glass with fine-grained structured tannins that linger long on the palate.<br />
