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 />

Worthy Park 2007 70 cl /...
Type: Pure Single Rum<br />Raw material: Molasses<br />Fermentation: Selected yeasts<br />Production method: Pot Still distillation<br />Ageing: Tropical<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it's different<br /><br />Worthy Park 2007 is a bottling of the WPL brand, with congeners between 60 and 119 g / hLAP. Distilled in 2007 from molasses from the Worthy Park Estate's sugar cane<br />mill. It is a Pure Single Rum aged in the distillery's tropical climate warehouse and was bottled at 59% full cask grade, with an angel's share after 10 years of 64%. The label<br />shows the copper double retort still made by Scottish Forsyths for Worthy Park Distillery. No sugar, caramel or additives are added at bottling.<br />How to drink it<br /><br />Drink it straight, letting it breathe, possibly with water to have a slight dilution at will. It can be used in blending as a 'cut' to enrich any type of classic rum-based cocktail.<br />Focus<br /><br />Worthy Park 2007 Habitation Velier is the first bottling that bears the name of the Jamaican distillery on the label, different from the previous editions that were called<br />'Forsyths', inspired by the double retort copper still used for the production of all Worthy Park Estate rums. Worthy Park allocates part of its production to 'bulk' marketing,<br />rums which are then destined for blended rums or for selections of independent bottlers, provided that the name of the distillery is not put on their labels. The project carried<br />out in collaboration with Luca Gargano is not a simple independent bottling project. On the contrary, we could consider it 'dependent bottling', since the labels highlight the<br />fundamental points of production, such as the origin of the molasses, the type of still, the year of distillation and bottling, the percentage of angel's share, the mark,<br />specifying the level of esters and congeners as well as, of course, the fact that ageing takes place in a tropical climate at the distillery, information that is not usually<br />declared in independent bottling, since barrels are always purchased through rum merchants and never directly from the distillery. After the first editions, Worthy Park<br />allowed Luca to use the official name of the distillery, so from the 2007 release the name Worthy Park will always appear on the label.<br />

Hampden Estate OWH 8 Y.O....
Type: Pure Single Rum<br />Raw material: Molasses<br />Fermentation: Indigenous yeasts<br />Production method: Pot Still distillation<br />Ageing: Tropical<br /><br />Why it's different<br /><br />From what could be considered the best distillery in the world, Hampden Estate 8 Years Old is made from the single mark 'OWH' bottled without any additives, no<br />colouring agents, but above all no added sugar, and aged 8 years in the distillery's wherehouse. All Hampden Estate rums are bottled with no added artifacts.<br /><br />How I drink it<br />Enjoy neat, on the rocks, in simple cocktails such as Hampden & Pineapple or diluted with ginger beer. Excellent to wash down a baba, drizzled over a soft, well-vanillaised<br />sponge cake or dunked into dry biscuits such as canestrelli.<br /><br />Focus<br />Hampden Estate could be considered the best distillery in the world, located in the northwest of Jamaica, in Trelawny County. This claim is based on objective<br />considerations for the production process of this rum, 5 fundamental pillars:<br />1) the water used in all stages of production comes from a source a few kilometres from the distillery in the pristine area of Cockpit Country.<br />2) fermentation is spontaneous, using natural yeasts and ancestral techniques, to produce High Ester rums that are characterised by their aromatic richness.<br />3) distillation is 100% in Pot Still. Hampden Estate remains one of the very few distilleries in the world to use only discontinuous double retort copper pot stills - there are<br />currently four, one of which, legendary, was installed in 1960, produced by John Dore, with a capacity of 7600 litres and a marvellous swan neck reminiscent of a trunk,<br />which has earned it the name 'The Elephant' - the distillation cycle lasts about 7 hours with an alcoholic degree at the exit of the still of 82°.<br />4) Ageing takes place in a tropical climate in the Hampden Estate warehouse, where climatic conditions lead to very high angel share - in fact 7 years of ageing corresponds<br />to around 25 years in a continental climate.<br />5) No added sugar or caramel.<br /><br />The climatic factor is one of the fundamental elements of the Trelawny terroir. OWH is one of the many marks produced by the Hampden Estate. It is made up of the initials<br />of Outram Warmold Hussey, father of Lawrence Francis Close Hussey who took over the Hampden Estate with his family in 2009. Of the eight different expressions<br />produced for tasting rums, it is the one with the lowest level of esters. It is a rum that has a range of esters that fluctuates around 80/120 gr/hlap and belongs to the category<br />of Jamaican rums defined as 'Common Clean', those that, according to the Jamaican Spirits Pool, have a level of esters that can vary on average between 80 and 150<br />gr/hlap. Nevertheless, the level of aromatic richness of a quality Common Clean rum is far higher than that of any other modern rum distilled with multi-column distillation<br />equipment. That's the magic of Hampden Estate rum, a distillate that thanks to ancestral techniques has a recognisable and unique taste. OWH is one of the most recent<br />marks, born from the idea of creating a lighter rum than the historic marks that have been aged since that year.<br />
