Sauternes Chateau Rieussec...

Sauternes Chateau Rieussec...

The Sauternes and Barsac AOCs are located south of Bordeaux, specifically in the Graves. Both AOCs date back to 1936. The area known as Sauternais comprises five<br />communes: Barsac, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac and Sauternes; while that of Barsac exclusively comprises the commune from which it takes its name. It is worth noting<br />that these regulations allow Barsac producers to name their wines both Barsac and Sauternes AOC (both are often mentioned on the label), while Sauternes producers can<br />only name their wines Sauternes AOC. The area's soils are of alluvial origin with a good presence of limestone; what gives this area its unique characteristics is the<br />microclimate created by the Garonne and Ciron rivers and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean: these presences are decisive in favouring the development of pourriture noble,<br />noble rot, on the grapes, creating a unique concentration. The varieties used for the AOC Sauternes and Barsac are: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.<br />The quality of the wines produced in these areas has a long history, in fact already in 1855 Napoleon III, drawing up the first classification of Crus, recognised Château<br />d'Yquem as the only Premier Cru Supérieur located outside the Medoc, followed by two other categories: Premier Cru (11 Châteaux) and Deuxième Cru (15 Châteaux).<br /><br />Varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle.<br /><br />Vineyards: The Château Rieussec vineyards extend to the border between Fargues and Sauternes: it is one of the largest estates in Sauternes and Barsac and covers 93<br />hectares. The soil is gravelly-sandy-clayey.<br /><br />Vinification: Château Rieussec 1er Grand Cru Classé is aged between 18 and 26 months depending on the vintage in new barrels (50 to 55%).<br /><br />Characteristics: Château Rieussec 1er Grand Cru Classé has a beautiful, brilliant golden colour. This Rieussec has a remarkable aromatic freshness, linked to the unusually<br />high proportion of Sauvignon in the blend (25%). Aromas of citrus fruits, honey and candied apricots are accompanied by well-integrated oak notes. Citrus aromas<br />predominate on the palate, while the finish is long with a touch of spice.<br />

Eiswein Kracher 375ml 2018

Eiswein Kracher 375ml 2018

Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the Danube<br />River. The presence of this river together with Lake Neusiedl creates a warm humid climate ideal for the formation of noble rot on the grapes produced in the area. Kracher is<br />based in Illmitz, on the Hungarian border, and has been run since 2007 by Alois' son Gerhard Kracher, with the help of his wife Yvonne: it is Austria's leading winery for<br />sweet wines. The varieties used are Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Scheurebe, Muskat-Ottonel, and in some vintages also Zweigelt. Kracher harvests and vinifies<br />small batches, using a number series to distinguish them: a higher number corresponds to a higher sugar concentration in the wine. Two types of wine are produced: Cuvée,<br />sweet wines of medium concentration, Beerenauslese and Eiswein; Kollektion, very concentrated sweet wines produced according to two different methods: Zwischen den<br />Seen (traditional with fermentation in steel or wooden barrels) and Nouvelle Vague (modern with the use of new barriques). WEINLAUBENHOF KRACHER has also started a<br />collaboration with the Liliac Winery in Transylvania, in order to exploit the climatic peculiarities of the Lechinta region that are optimal for the production of Eiswein.<br /><br />Variety: Welschriesling<br /><br />Vineyards: Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the<br />River Danube.

Pratto 2020 IGT Benaco BS...

Pratto 2020 IGT Benaco BS...

<br />Pratto<br /><br />Pratto represents a challenge that we wanted to take up, going beyond conventional schemes while maintaining unaltered respect for the territory. In this late harvest, the<br />aromaticity of Sauvignon vinified in stainless steel, the softness of Chardonnay and the finesse of Turbiana meet harmoniously with an exclusive result. The nose shows<br />notes of tropical fruit accompanied by a vegetality and minerality that enhance the finesse and elegance with a very communicative impact that induces salivation stimulating<br />the taste. On the palate it is rich with an exquisitely sweet attack followed by perfectly balanced acidity and flavour, and finally the fruity and mineral notes return. Ideal with<br />structured starters such as crostini with foie gras and also with delicate but richly flavoured first courses, light and white meats and fish with aromatic herbs.<br />Perfect with mature cheeses.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Turbiana, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey<br />Training system: Guyot and spurred cordon<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 80 quintals<br />Type of vinification: Steel<br />Malo/actic: Not carried out<br />Ageing and development: In steel on fine lees 12 months, followed by two months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 13.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.60 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.35 g/L<br />pH: 3.10<br />Dry extract: 21.5 g/L<br />

Chardonnay 'Cardellino'...

Chardonnay 'Cardellino'...

Chardonnay 'Cardellino' 2021 - South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' was Elena Walch's first wine and is still probably the winery's most popular wine. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the 'Cardellino' - only<br />builds its nest in Chardonnay vines, while it does not nest in other grape varieties. Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an elegant Chardonnay full of character, to<br />this faithful little bird, which has won many lovers with its minerality, freshness, coupled with suppleness and excellent structure. The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' has long<br />since become a South Tyrolean classic and continues to be the most popular wine at the Walch family's table. A wine to which one remains loyal, just as the Cardellino<br />remains loyal to its Chardonnay.<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' convinces with a strong, straw-yellow colour, with a complex interplay of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral<br />richness and a spicy hint of tobacco. On the palate, this classic from Elena Walch surprises with exciting freshness and mineral race, with elegance and juicy length:<br />inviting, refreshing and easy to drink.<br /><br />OUTCOME OF THE YEAR 2021: we are delighted with a vintage of outstanding quality, especially for our white wines! A dry and cool spring led to a late flowering of the<br />vines, followed by a warm and dry June. After a volatile midsummer, there was a surprising change in the weather in mid-August, which brought dream weather until the end<br />of September and created the very best conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest began in mid-September, about 10 days later than last year. Blue skies<br />and lots of sunshine as well as midsummer daytime temperatures and autumnally cool nights enabled the grapes to reach ideal sugar levels while retaining very good<br />acidity. Accordingly, the wines of the 2021 vintage show a markedly high quality.<br /><br />VINIFICATION: gentle pressing, static clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 20°C, long contact with the yeast after fermentation. Part of the must<br />(about 15%) is fermented in French oak barrels where it matures for six months. The assemblage takes place in spring.<br /><br />Alcohol: 13,50% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.7 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 0,5 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay<br />
