The winter season passed with mild temperatures and low rainfall. These<br />conditions led to an early spring. From the second week of April, the weather changed dramatically and until mid-May, rain was the protagonist with temperatures below<br />average. These weather conditions compromised the flowering and were the cause of spinning of the wings of the bunches and floral dripping, resulting in smaller, more<br />sparse bunches with very low average weights. After 15 May we saw a clear improvement in the weather conditions which allowed us to set fruit in favourable conditions.<br />Above-average temperatures characterised the month of June, which can be described as the driest in the last 20 years. The dry weather continued until mid-July with the<br />vines beginning to show symptoms of water stress. The beginning of August brought us the much-desired rain, effectively saving the season.<br />From 20 August, with the start of the harvest, temperatures returned to normal and the fine weather accompanied us until the end of the season.<br />and good weather accompanied us until the end of August. The harvest began on 20 August and ended on 5 September in good weather. Average yield per hectare was<br />4,800 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,020 litres of wine (wine yield: 63%). The small size of the bunches and the low yields in the vineyard have legitimised the high<br />quality of this vintage, which is expressed in the Cuvée Prestige Edition 44 by an intense aroma of citrus, white and yellow fruits and by a full-bodied, extremely lively taste.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />The base wines of the Cuvée Prestige are the result of a careful selection of grapes and a skilful vinification process conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method.<br />The grapes, harvested by hand in small crates, are classified and cooled. Each bunch is selected by expert eyes and hands, and then benefits from the exclusive 'berry<br />spa': a special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches consisting of three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After pressing in the absence of oxygen, all the<br />musts of the base wines ferment in temperature-controlled steel tanks and remain there until the following March. Seven months of refinement are then necessary for the<br />wine to clarify, mature and bring out the best of the character of the original vineyards. The wines are then skilfully blended in the 'magic ritual' of creating the cuvée. It is<br />only after a minimum of two years of ageing on the lees that this Franciacorta can express all its richness and identity. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of<br />oxygen, using a unique system designed and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites. It makes our Franciacorta wines<br />purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.<br /><br />DRILLING<br />From April to June of the year following the harvest.<br /><br />AVERAGE AGEING ON THE LEES<br />On average 25 months.<br /><br />DOSAGE AT DISGORGING<br />Sugar content 1.0 grams/litre - 'Extra Brut'.<br /><br />ANALYTICAL DATA AT DISGORGEMENT<br />Alcohol 12.8% vol.; pH 3.11; Total acidity 5.80 grams/litre; Volatile acidity 0.32 grams/litre.<br /><br />SULPHITES<br />Total sulphur dioxide, maximum 55 milligrams/litre (maximum legal limit: 185 milligrams/litre), concentration specified on the back label.<br />

Fonseca Guimaraens BIN 27...
Bin 27 shares the heritage and style of the great Fonseca Vintage Ports, as well as much of their depth and character.<br /><br />Full Bodied & Fruity<br /><br />Tasting note<br />Bin 27 shares the heritage and style of the great Fonseca Vintage Ports, as well as much of their depth and character.<br />However it is bottled when ready to drink and can be served by the glass directly from the bottle. Blended for consistency of character and quintessentially Fonseca in<br />style, this reserve blend provides reliable and affordable value.<br />Deep youthful ruby colour. Intense rich fruity nose crammed with pure blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum aromas interwoven with notes of spice.<br />The palate full bodied and round, with a smooth velvety texture balanced by firm mouth filling tannins. The juicy black fruit flavours linger into the rich luscious finish.<br />Pairing suggestions<br />The rich black fruit flavours of Bin 27 are a perfect match for chocolate and berry fruit dishes. A chocolate fondant with strawberries makes a deliciously hedonistic<br />combination with Bin 27, the rich creamy chocolate and luscious ripe strawberries blending seductively with the blackcurrant and cherry fruitiness of the wine. Bin 27 is also<br />excellent served after a meal with bitter chocolate with a high cocoa content or a plate of chocolate brownies or truffles. Like all youthful red Ports, Bin 27 is an excellent<br />match for soft ripe cheeses and can be served on its own at the end of the meal or any other relaxed occasion in a generously proportioned wine glass.<br />Description<br />Although for connoisseurs and collectors Fonseca is synonymous with Vintage Port, to thousands of wine drinkers and Port lovers, the wine that springs to mind is Bin 27.<br />This rich and fruity reserve blend is sold all over the world and has a particularly loyal following in North America.<br />Fonseca Bin 27 was launched in Britain nearly 50 years ago, in 1972. At the time the market for Port was undergoing a profound change. Consumers were becoming more<br />knowledgeable and demanding in their choice of wine. No longer content with the simple young Ports that until then had accounted for much of consumption, they sought<br />more sophisticated and distinctive wines both to enjoy at home and when dining out.<br />

Pinot noir DOC 2018 750ml...
Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' 2018<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The long history of Pinot Noir in South Tyrol has accompanied the development of the wine region. Elena Walch's Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' was created with the 2001 vintage,<br />from grapes of old vines in cooler sites, some of which are even still planted as Pergel. The small production of 10,000 bottles indicates the strict selection of plots to<br />produce a classic, complex Burgundy of the highest quality. The many national and international awards for the Pinot Noir 'Ludwig', including the top award of the 12th and<br />19th Italian Pinot Noir Competition in 2013 and in 2020, confirm the winemaker's great commitment to the noble grape variety.<br /><br />'The Pinot Noir 'Ludwig' presents itself with a fresh, strong ruby red as well as with elegant concentration and complexity. concentration and complexity. Fresh fruity notes<br />with heart cherries and red currants as well as spicy spicy aromas with a little pepper and elegant toasted aromas define the bouquet. On the palate, the wine and elegance<br />with firm tannins, a fruity and delicate structure and a harmonious interplay between<br />and a harmonious interplay between discreet spiciness and youthful, juicy freshness - with great potential and inviting length.<br /><br />COURSE OF THE 2018 VINTAGE<br />The 2018 wine year presents itself as an outstanding vintage with excellent<br />quality. After a long winter, the vegetation phase - with budding in mid<br />April - somewhat later than in previous years. A rainy but warm phase but warm phase until the beginning of flowering at the end of May made up for this delay.<br />The harvest finally began in fine weather at the end of August - a few cooler weeks in mid to late August had<br />A few cooler weeks in mid to late August had delayed the start of harvesting by a few days after the very hot and dry weeks in July. This was followed by a golden autumn<br />with sunny and warm days and thus the ideal phenolic ripeness could be waited for each individual variety. Even cool nights were crucial for maintaining acidity and<br />freshness, especially for the white wines. A great vintage in South Tyrol!<br />VINIFICATION:<br />Fermentation on the skins for 10 days in steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. Subsequent acid degradation in wooden barrels. Maturation in barrique barrels made of<br />French oak barrels for a period of 13 months. A state-of-the-art fermentation cellar cellar since 2015 allows a very gentle<br />processing of the grapes with whole berry processing and also the<br />processing of whole grapes using gravity. The sensitive destemmer and the gentle transport of the grapes by means of a 'cuvon', a container on rails, prove to be extremely<br />gentle on the grapes and preserve their high quality. The state-of-the-art building is certainly unique in South Tyrol in this conception and is probably one of the most modern<br />fermenting cellars in Italy, for the production of great red wines d'excellence.<br />Alcohol: 13.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.1 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 1,2 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir<br />
