The 2008 Clos du Marquis may be one of the two or three finest second wines I have tasted from proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks. On the palate, there is a sensational black fruit character, no hard edges, and a seamless integration of all the component parts.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNeal Martin \\\u0026quot;The 2008 Clos du Marquis has an expressive bouquet with blackberry, briary and pencil shaving aromas that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with just a light seam of greenness, although it merely adds freshness and asserts its classicism. I find this fresh and balanced, sporting just the right amount of dryness on the cassis-driven finish that balanced with the fruit, lending it a “breezy” and unassuming character that suits it down to the ground.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;A layered and minerally wine, with currants and berries. Medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity finish.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJancis Robinson \\\u0026quot;Dark purplish crimson... Rather luscious with good texture and polish. Reasonably forward but with good structure.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nStephen Tanzer \\\u0026quot;Good dark red. Bitter cherry, fresh bay, sage and coffee on the nose, with a floral element emerging in the glass. Supple and nicely concentrated, with attractive mid-palate sweetness and a seamless texture for the year. This rather silky Saint-Julien finishes with a good floral lift.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;The second wine of Léoville las-Cases is big and hearty. The fruits are solid, ripe and well balanced, with red fruits that give sweetness.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Spectator \\\u0026quot;Ripe and refined, with pure, driven plum, raspberry and black cherry fruit and sleek structure. Flickers of charcoal, roasted cedar and tobacco hang in the background. Should age nicely.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe 2008 Clos du Marquis is an interesting blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot produced in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation.\\n\\nChâteau Léoville Poyferré is an estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Médoc. It was rated the second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and was traditionally the softest of the three Léovilles. However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.\\n\\nSaint-Julien is a small but important red wine appellation of the Haut-Médoc district on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in south-western France. Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines. Sandwiched between the more famous appellations of Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien is sometimes unfairly overlooked because it does not have a first growth chateau in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Maucoil Chateauneuf-du-Pape Esprit 2012 ~ Southern Rhone, France\\n\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusaist\\n17\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;From the oldest vines of the estate, this is a lush, luscious wine. Vanilla and cedar notes complement bold cherry fruit, while hints of cinnamon, clove and allspice lend nuance.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJancis Robinson 'Vineyard soil: galets. 12 months in barrique.... fine tannins and ripe fruit underneath. Blackberry compote notes.'\\n\\nChâteau Maucoil has been under the care of several different illustrious wine growing families over the centuries, but it is now owned and managed by the talented winemakers Frederic and Benoit Lavau. With the consulting advice of famed French winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt, the Lavau brothers have been making stellar and highly awarded wines and today are one of the few producers to continue to cultivate all 13 permitted grape varieties permitted by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape regulations.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Marquis de Terme, Margaux 2016 -  Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n93\/100 Neal Martin, Vinous\\n92\/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n92\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Decanter\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\nSilver, International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition\\n\\nOrganic\\n\\nJeff Leve “...Soft, polished, round and with fruit to spare, this is showing great today and will only get better with time...floral nuances to the licorice, cherry, black raspberry and smoky overtones. ”\\n\\nNeal Martin, Vinous “...Elegant and cohesive, this is a fine Margaux .........crushed violet and incense infusing the vivacious black fruit. The lightly spiced, medium-bodied palate features supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pinch of white pepper on the finish.”\\n\\nJulia Harding MW “Deep cherry. Fragrant with sweet dark-red and black fruit and a touch of oak sweetness. Firm, chewy, not trying to charm at the moment but it’s all in place, just needs to open and blossom.”\\n\\nWine Spectator \\\u0026quot;Warm in feel, with dark plum, cassis and cherry compote flavors forming the core. Generally open in feel, with light cocoa, tobacco and alder notes adding spine and texture to offset the tasty fruit.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme is a Bordeaux wine estate founded in 1661.\\n\\nChâteau Marquis de Terme’s Margaux wine is a legendary Bordeaux wine estate, classified as a 'Quatrième Cru (Fourth Growth) Classé' in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux wines. American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

It reveals notes of bright blackberry, bright cassis, small notes of bigarreau cherry associated with touches of bright violet plum, hints of lilac\/laurel berries, zan, discreet hints of olive tree and an imperceptible hint of pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition, an aromatic purity, gourmandize, a beautiful suavity, precise as well as a fine straightness, harmony and a small harmonious side.

This has some depth and intensity, a gentle mineral seam within that brings freshness and length. Has more focus and thrust than most 2018s. Fermented and aged mostly in stainless steel, along with some old barriques.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Spectator \\\u0026quot;A singed alder note leads off, followed quickly by a mix of steeped plum and black cherry pâte de fruit flavors. Black licorice and graphite underscore the finish. Best from 2023 through 2034. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 50 cases imported. — JM\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;Languid streaks of black plum and black cherry preserves are accented by hints of mocha and cinnamon toast in this plush, pillowy red. A blend of 90% Grenache augmented by small amounts of Mourvèdre, Syrah, Counoise and Vaccarese, it's a plush, delicately muted wine feathered in soft, furry tannins and a flurry of dried herb and baking spice notes that linger on the finish. At peak now–2025. Anna Lee C. Iijima\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;Round and supple, the full-bodied 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape La Dame Voyageuse is a large-scaled ball of plum and blackberry fruit and savory nuances. Hints of mocha, black olive and licorice bring added interest to this soft, easygoing offering that should be consumed over the next 6-8 years.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWine Spectator \\\u0026quot;An expressive version marked by linzer torte, raspberry coulis and plum pâte de fruit notes, with a licorice note lacing it all up through the finish, where flashes of apple wood, tar and red tea fill in nicely. This is for fans of the fruit-driven style. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Vaccarèse. Best from 2023 through 2036. 125 cases made, 50 cases imported\\\u0026quot; (2019 Vintage)\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;This is the fourth vintage of Domaine de la Mordorée's earlier-drinking cuvée, sourced from 60-year-old vines grown mostly on galets. The fruit is all destemmed and fermented in old barriques, plus a little stainless steel. The aromas wake you up with their vivid, peppery, spicy fireworks. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely concentration of fruit. There's real freshness and vitality here, with balanced acidity and snappy, saline, gently serrated tannins. It's so drinkable and moreish, I would pick this over their Reine des Bois in 2017, which has a much riper (I would say overripe) fruit profile. One of my value picks of the vintage.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;With it's pristine blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a juicy, freshly concentrated demeanor, the Grenache-dominant La Dame Voyageuse is more welcoming in youth than the producer's densely packed La Reine des Bois bottling. Etched by savory complexities of garrigue and walnut skins, and held upright by firm, velveteen tannins, it's a stunner in its own right that should drink beautifully well through 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;A rich and attractively ripe nose with very juicy, attractive berry flavors. This has a super rich feel and delivers such impressive depth and length of fine, supple and gently grainy tannin on the palate. There’s a lot to like here. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape La Dame Voyageuse boasts scents of leather, black cherries and dusty earth. It's not as concentrated as the Reine des Bois, but it's still full-bodied, with a generous, welcoming feel and a silky finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nThe Wine Spectator \\\u0026quot;Intense, featuring lively licorice and plum reduction notes leading the way, followed by fruitcake, raspberry pâte de fruit and sweet tobacco flavors. Shows excellent drive and focus through the finish, with a nice graphite edge.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nFalstaff \\\u0026quot;Age-appropriate closed, dark chocolate and blueberries, on the palate a large extract is dissolved in the finest, the tannin has freshness and resilience despite its delicacy, develops an intense presence and leaves enough space for juicy nuances. Intense mineral substrate. A Châteaneuf without showmanship, made for a long life.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nInternational Wine Report J. D'Angelo \\\u0026quot;a simply sensational release in this vintage. It instantly beings to impress with its fantastic aromatic profile of blackberry, dark cherry and strawberries along with garrigue leather, bacon fat, black pepper and hints loam and tar. On the palate this displays a wonderful elegant character, with soft, polished tannins making for a gorgoeus mouthfeel. Layered and complex, this brilliant red goes on to impress with incredible purity, along with a gorgeous combination of earthy and meaty characteristics that continue through the long supple finish. While the 2016 is nothing short of outstanding now, it also shows incredible promise to become even more compelling as it evolves.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGrenache 90%, Mourvedre 4%, Syrah 4%, Counoise 1% and Vaccarese 1%\\n\\nDomaine de la Mordoree was founded in 1986 by brothers Fabrice Delmore and Christophe Delorme and has become one of the top estates in the Rhône, with arguably the exceptionally consistent quality.\\nChristophe Delorme was highly regarded by Robert Parker Jr. of The Wine Advocate, who pinned Mordorée as \\\u0026quot;one of the world’s greatest wine estates\\\u0026quot;. In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

Ruby-colored, with notes of tobacco, leafy herbs, and graphite, it has fine tannins and, again, an undeniable elegance and classic style.”\\nNeal Martin, Vinous “...I like the density of this Pauillac, which is focused and elegant yet classic on the finish...The palate is well balanced, with mint-infused black fruit, tobacco and sage.”\\n\\nWine Spectator \\\u0026quot;A restrained style, with a sanguine note leading off for a mix of gently mulled damson plum, loganberry, and red currant fruit flavors. Supple in feel, with perfumy cedar and alder notes guiding the finish.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Tight and fresh, this shows good quality black fruits in a light, earlier drinking style. It's not as creamy in texture as some others, but has an enjoyable, fleshy texture as it opens in the glass.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n83% Cabernet Sauvignon 17% Merlot\\n\\nChâteau Lynch-Moussas was originally owned by Count Jean-Baptiste Lynch of Ireland in the 18th century. At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Trésor White 2014 - Rhône Valley, France\\n\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n\\n30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;More tropical in character with plenty of pineapple, peach and subtle brioche, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Tresor des Papes is medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and lengthy with a dry finish. This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;1 x Clos du Marquis', Saint-Julien 2008 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n92\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazine\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Jeannie Cho Lee\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni\\n90\/100 Neal Martin\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n90\/100 Stephen Tanzer\\n90\/100 CellarTracker\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve\\n16.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine\\n16.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n16\/20 Gault \u0026amp; Millau\\n15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;For many years, Las Cases' second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks.

The palate is medium-bodied with just a light seam of greenness, although it merely adds freshness and asserts its classicism.

It was rated the second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and was traditionally the softest of the three Léovilles. However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.\\n\\nSaint-Julien is a small but important red wine appellation of the Haut-Médoc district on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in south-western France. Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines. Sandwiched between the more famous appellations of Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien is sometimes unfairly overlooked because it does not have a first growth chateau in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Chateau Maucoil Chateauneuf-du-Pape Esprit 2012 ~ Southern Rhone, France\\n\\n91\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusaist\\n17\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;From the oldest vines of the estate, this is a lush, luscious wine.

Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets.

Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets.

This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Esperienza Numero 8 Brunello di Montalcino 2018 - Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinesearcher\u003c\/strong\u003e \"This is more affordable than many Brunello di Montalcino wines.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrunello di Montalcino is a wine made with 100% Sangiovese with Italy’s highest DOCG classification. Sangiovese is the wine that most wine critics cite to be the best in all of Italy. Brunello di Montalcino is made with a local Tuscan type of Sangiovese referred to as Brunello or Sangiovese Grosso. Some also call it Prugnolo Gentile. Noted for having thicker-skinned berries, and because of this, Brunello produces wines with exceptionally bold fruit flavors, high tannin, and high acidity. The fruit is a contributes to the enduring popularity of Brunello di Montalcino.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;1 x Clos du Marquis', Saint-Julien 2008 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n92\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazine\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Jeannie Cho Lee\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni\\n90\/100 Neal Martin\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n90\/100 Stephen Tanzer\\n90\/100 CellarTracker\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve\\n16.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine\\n16.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n16\/20 Gault \u0026amp; Millau\\n15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;For many years, Las Cases' second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks.

The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France.

The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Trésor White 2014 - Rhône Valley, France\\n\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n\\n30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;More tropical in character with plenty of pineapple, peach and subtle brioche, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Tresor des Papes is medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and lengthy with a dry finish. This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Hewitson \"Old Garden\" Mourvèdre 2010 – Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 James Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Jeremy Oliver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93+\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Jeremy Oliver \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 CellarTracker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Magazine \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Huon Hooke, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2009 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday 5 Star Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling Top 100 Top Value Wine 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday Top 100 Winery 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Rated Other Red and Blend of the Year 2024 - Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - International Wine Challenge\u003c\/strong\u003e (2009 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Clear crimson; a wine that is complete and confident in itself, effortlessly filling the bouquet and palate with its small red and black fruits, a shimmer of tannins throughout, and a lingering finish.

He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world.

The fruit is all destemmed and fermented in old barriques, plus a little stainless steel. The aromas wake you up with their vivid, peppery, spicy fireworks. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely concentration of fruit. There's real freshness and vitality here, with balanced acidity and snappy, saline, gently serrated tannins. It's so drinkable and moreish, I would pick this over their Reine des Bois in 2017, which has a much riper (I would say overripe) fruit profile. One of my value picks of the vintage.\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;With it's pristine blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a juicy, freshly concentrated demeanor, the Grenache-dominant La Dame Voyageuse is more welcoming in youth than the producer's densely packed La Reine des Bois bottling. Etched by savory complexities of garrigue and walnut skins, and held upright by firm, velveteen tannins, it's a stunner in its own right that should drink beautifully well through 2030. Anna Lee C.

It instantly beings to impress with its fantastic aromatic profile of blackberry, dark cherry and strawberries along with garrigue leather, bacon fat, black pepper and hints loam and tar. On the palate this displays a wonderful elegant character, with soft, polished tannins making for a gorgoeus mouthfeel. Layered and complex, this brilliant red goes on to impress with incredible purity, along with a gorgeous combination of earthy and meaty characteristics that continue through the long supple finish. While the 2016 is nothing short of outstanding now, it also shows incredible promise to become even more compelling as it evolves.\\\u0026quot; (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGrenache 90%, Mourvedre 4%, Syrah 4%, Counoise 1% and Vaccarese 1%\\n\\nDomaine de la Mordoree was founded in 1986 by brothers Fabrice Delmore and Christophe Delorme and has become one of the top estates in the Rhône, with arguably the exceptionally consistent quality.\\nChristophe Delorme was highly regarded by Robert Parker Jr. of The Wine Advocate, who pinned Mordorée as \\\u0026quot;one of the world’s greatest wine estates\\\u0026quot;. In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager. Jeb Dunnuck praised the estate for the quality of their first vintage without Christophe, saying the Domaine was “obviously still in incredibly capable hands.”\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\n\\n1 x Chateau Lynch-Moussas, Pauillac 2016 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n94\/100 Wine Advocate\\n93\/100 Falstaff Magazin\\n93\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Decanter\\n92\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider\\n92+\/100 Neal Martin, vinous.com\\n91\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\\n91\/100 Wine Spectator\\n\\n92\/100 Highly Recommended Silver - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nDecanter Wines of the Year 2021\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck “A fine Pauillac and has a pretty, classic, elegant style that’s very much in the character of the vintage.

It's not as creamy in texture as some others, but has an enjoyable, fleshy texture as it opens in the glass.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n83% Cabernet Sauvignon 17% Merlot\\n\\nChâteau Lynch-Moussas was originally owned by Count Jean-Baptiste Lynch of Ireland in the 18th century. At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille. At the time of the purchase, they also owned Chateau Duhart-Milon.\\n\\nPauillac is a wine-growing region located between Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux's Médoc peninsula (“Left Bank”), is home to some of the world's most famous and expensive red wines, made predominantly from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety, which is well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found in Pauillac's vineyards. The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five châteaux in the 1855 Médoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux's best wine-producing properties) are located here: Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, and Château Latour.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious, and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality, and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nA Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon is widely accepted as a compulsory component of any Bordeaux Blend along with Merlot. In fact, the majority of Bordeaux Blend wines are often made exclusively from a blend of these two varieties. The remaining components are Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.\\n\\n1 x Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Trésor White 2014 - Rhône Valley, France\\n\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n\\n30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussanne\\n\\nJeb Dunnuck \\\u0026quot;More tropical in character with plenty of pineapple, peach and subtle brioche, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Tresor des Papes is medium-bodied, beautifully textured, and lengthy with a dry finish. This shows a touch more class and purity than the traditional cuvée and should have a longer drink window as well.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.\\n\\nThe 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.\\n\\nOriginally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.\\n\\nChâteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic village between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France's southern Rhône Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wines made predominantly from the classic southern Rhône grape trio: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. These three varieties are behind the vast majority of the appellation's red wines, although a total of eighteen are approved for use – a mix of red and white grape varieties.\\n\\nSouthern Rhone White Blend is a blanket term used to describe the various combinations of white wine grapes used in the southern half of the Rhone Valley. The principal varieties involved in a white wine from the southern Rhone are any combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16776960},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Sergio Zingarelli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 - Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100 Luca Maroni \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Daniele Cernilli-Guida Essenziale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Wine Critic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Falstaff Wein Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Daniele Cernilli-Guida Essenziale \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+\/100 Luca Maroni \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 5 Stars Wine, The Book, Vinitaly \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Falstaff Wein Guide \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Wine Critic \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 The Wine Independent \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorona - Vini Buoni d'Italia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Grappoli - Bibenda\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Biccheri - Gambero Rosso\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Stelle Oro - Veronelli \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOro - Civiltà del Bere – WOW \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinalista 2 bicchieri rossi - Gambero Rosso \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 Grappoli - Bibenda \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - London Wine Competition \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Korea Wine Challenge \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Extremely perfumed, with blackberry, lavender and rose-petal aromas and flavors.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.Rocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;1 x Clos du Marquis', Saint-Julien 2008 - Bordeaux , France\\n\\n92\/100 James Suckling\\n92\/100 Falstaff Magazine\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast\\n91\/100 Jeannie Cho Lee\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni\\n90\/100 Neal Martin\\n90\/100 Wine Spectator\\n90\/100 Robert Parker\\n90\/100 Stephen Tanzer\\n90\/100 CellarTracker\\n90\/100 Jeff Leve\\n16.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine\\n16.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\\n16\/20 Gault \u0026amp; Millau\\n15.5\/20 Jancis Robinson\\n\\n2 Stars - Le Guide Hachette des Vins\\n\\nRobert Parker \\\u0026quot;For many years, Las Cases' second wine has been the equivalent of a classified growth in the Medoc. The 2008 Clos du Marquis may be one of the two or three finest second wines I have tasted from proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks.

Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 per cent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol.

They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon.

The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe.

The 2008 Clos du Marquis may be one of the two or three finest second wines I have tasted from proprietor Jean-Hubert Delon. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that came in at 13.5% natural alcohol, it is a pure, deep, full-bodied effort displaying classic aromas of creme de cassis, licorice, and crushed rocks. On the palate, there is a sensational black fruit character, no hard edges, and a seamless integration of all the component parts.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNeal Martin \\\u0026quot;The 2008 Clos du Marquis has an expressive bouquet with blackberry, briary and pencil shaving aromas that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with just a light seam of greenness, although it merely adds freshness and asserts its classicism. I find this fresh and balanced, sporting just the right amount of dryness on the cassis-driven finish that balanced with the fruit, lending it a “breezy” and unassuming character that suits it down to the ground.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;A layered and minerally wine, with currants and berries.

However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density.\\n\\nSaint-Julien is a small but important red wine appellation of the Haut-Médoc district on the Left Bank of Bordeaux in south-western France. Its reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines.

American President Thomas Jefferson - himself a wine connoisseur, visited Bordeaux in 1787 - declaring Château Marquis de Terme as one of the 16 best Bordeaux wines he tasted.\\n\\nChateau Marquis de Terme began organic farming on a small parcel of vines with their first organic wine being the 2013 vintage. They are now farming their vineyards entirely organically achieving organic certification in 2017. Sitting on the doorstep of Margaux, Château Marquis de Terme is emblematic of both how many Bordeaux châteaux were once created and of the famous Margaux terroir. Though a Grand Cru Classé and world-renowned wine, the family owned estate is dedicated to premium wine-making and world class organic practices. The location of the estate at the heart of the Margaux appellation offers a climate that is heavily influenced by both the Gironde estuary and Bay of Biscay, as well as the sheltering effects of the coastal pine forests that protect the vines from the westerly and northwesterly winds.\\n\\nMargaux is an important appellation in the Haut-Médoc district of Bordeaux, southwestern France. The appellation is famous for producing supple, perfumed wines, predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Margaux appellation contains 21 cru classé properties from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (20 of which still exist), more than any other Left Bank appellation.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions.

In a 2007 issue of the Wine Advocate, Parker said:\\n\\n\\\u0026quot;With 135 acres spread throughout some of the most impressive appellations of the southern Rhône, Christophe Delorme and his brother...have done nothing but produce one exquisite wine after another. Of course, the top cuvees of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rare and expensive, but this is a place to find terrific Cotes du Rhones and Liracs as well. Delorme is equally adept at dry whites as well as reds, and turns out some stunning roses both under the Cotes du Rhône and Tavel appellations...\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWith a total of 5 hectares of vines, many over 100 years old, Domaine de la Mordoree practices only self sustainable, organic farming of their vineyards in all their locations including Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel and the Cotes du Rhone. In 2013 Domaine de la Mordoree was certified 100% organic. The estate's Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Lirac Reds \u0026amp; Whites, and Tavel Rosés are among the most highly rated of the region.\\n\\nChristophe produced his first wines in 1987. Up until that time the estate had been little more than a hobby for his father, an industrialist with two great passions; shooting and wine.\\n\\nChristophe totally refurbished and modernised the winery as well as replanting much of the vineyards. Today the domaine has 40 hectares of vineyards - 7 hectares in Tavel, 15 hectares in Lirac (top-notch examples), 16 hectares for generic Côtes-du-Rhône and 3 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife and daughter, Madeleine and Ambre, have taken on the running of the domaine, ably assisted by Rémy Chauvet, who was the cellarmaster under Christophe. As Jeb Dunnuck has put it in the Wine Advocate, 'the estate is obviously still in incredibly capable hands'.\\n\\nChristophe’s legacy and his talent live on through his daughter Ambre, as well as a talented team at Domaine de la Mordoree that includes winemaker Rémy Chauvet, who worked as Christophe’s cellar manager.

At the time, the estate was much larger than it is today. In fact, the Left Bank estate was so large in those days, it was eventually divided into two parts. Half of the estate gave birth to Chateau Lynch Bages. The remaining portion became Chateau Lynch Moussas. Like Lynch-Bages, it was ranked as a fifth growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification.\\n\\nIn 1919, Chateau Lynch Moussas was purchased by the Casteja family and its negociant arm, Borie Manoux, which owns numerous other Bordeaux estates in the Medoc and the Right Bank including Chateau Batailley and Chateau Trotte Vieille.

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is based not only on their quality but on their success in international fine wine markets.

Hewitson fruit is sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley and also from single site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFrederick Wildman \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson founded his eponymous winery in 1998. He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley, but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n1 x Patrick of Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia\\n\\n94\/100 Wineshowcase Magazine \\\u0026quot;New Release\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Huon Hooke (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Halliday (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGOLD Sydney International TOP100 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nGOLD Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nSILVER Rurtherglen Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Sydney Royal Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Cairns Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Limestone Coast Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate Magazine - 5 STARS and 'Equal Top in Category' (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate 'Best of South Australia' (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker \\\u0026quot;Matured in predominantly American oak for 18 months, the aroma is full of blackcurrant with a lift of vanilla.

Hewitson fruit is sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley and also from single site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFrederick Wildman \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson founded his eponymous winery in 1998. He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley, but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n1 x Patrick of Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia\\n\\n94\/100 Wineshowcase Magazine \\\u0026quot;New Release\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Huon Hooke (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Halliday (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGOLD Sydney International TOP100 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nGOLD Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nSILVER Rurtherglen Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Sydney Royal Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Cairns Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Limestone Coast Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate Magazine - 5 STARS and 'Equal Top in Category' (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate 'Best of South Australia' (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker \\\u0026quot;Matured in predominantly American oak for 18 months, the aroma is full of blackcurrant with a lift of vanilla.

Hewitson fruit is sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley and also from single site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFrederick Wildman \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson founded his eponymous winery in 1998. He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley, but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n1 x Patrick of Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia\\n\\n94\/100 Wineshowcase Magazine \\\u0026quot;New Release\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Huon Hooke (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Halliday (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGOLD Sydney International TOP100 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nGOLD Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nSILVER Rurtherglen Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Sydney Royal Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Cairns Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Limestone Coast Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate Magazine - 5 STARS and 'Equal Top in Category' (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate 'Best of South Australia' (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker \\\u0026quot;Matured in predominantly American oak for 18 months, the aroma is full of blackcurrant with a lift of vanilla.

The region's prime Terra Rossa land, which has a reddish-brown topsoil over a thick layer of soft limestone, covers a narrow strip only 12 kilometres long. The reddish colour of the soil is caused by iron-oxide (rust) formations in the clay. Vineyards on this soil benefit from good drainage and nutrient-holding capacity. It is known for the Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced on its \"terra rossa\" soil. Coonawarra is an Aboriginal word meaning \"Honeysuckle\".

It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley.

With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\n1 x Patrick of Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia\\n\\n94\/100 Wineshowcase Magazine \\\u0026quot;New Release\\\u0026quot; (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 Huon Hooke (2014 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Halliday (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n\\nGOLD Sydney International TOP100 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nGOLD Australian Small Winemakers Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nSILVER Rurtherglen Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Sydney Royal Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Cairns Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nBRONZE Limestone Coast Wine Show 2018 (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate Magazine - 5 STARS and 'Equal Top in Category' (2014 Vintage)\\nWinestate 'Best of South Australia' (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker \\\u0026quot;Matured in predominantly American oak for 18 months, the aroma is full of blackcurrant with a lift of vanilla.

While the vines in this region have been producing wine since the Roman era, it is only in the past couple of hundred years that winemakers began producing Champagne using méthode champenoise - the complex method that produces the style of Champagne the world knows and loves today. Another important component of the production of champagne is the chalk and limestone soils which dominate the Champagne region. Vines grown in these conditions result in wines that are high in acidity - a key component to making good sparkling wine. Champagne's northerly location - about as north as grapes can ripen - also allow for higher acidity and lower alcohol levels which are also very important for producing quality sparkling wine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe UNESCO World Heritage site of the wine growing region of Champagne is best known for the world's most famous wine product: champagne.

Many examples come from the region of Maremma, on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast in the southwest of Tuscany. The earliest Super Tuscan wines were high quality red wines made by noble winemaking families that did not fit into the Italian Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) classification system because they used grapes not allowed by the rules of the DOCs in the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuper Tuscan wines vary in style, but the influence of Bordeaux is apparent in their use of new oak barrels and French grapes like cabernet sauvignon and merlot in addition to sangiovese, the classic grape of Tuscany. The best Super Tuscans are rich and full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and spice from oak, and can age for decades. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Esperienza Numero 8 Rosso di Montalcino 2022 - Tuscany, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The Tuscan wine Rosso Esipendenza N. 8 has an intense ruby red color with purple hues in the glass.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Unesco World Heritage site since 2004, Montalcino is an isolated hilltop village of austere, rural beauty with an intoxicating view over the surrounding valleys of Orcia, Ombrone and Asso. It lies up to 500 metres above sea level, 40 kilometres south of Siena and around 50km from the coast. It is sheltered to the southeast by the inactive volcano, Mount Amiata, one of the highest mountains in Tuscany. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe area where the wines of Montalcino are produced coincides with the historical borders of the Municipality of Montalcino, covering a surface area of 24,000 hectares, only 15% of which is planted with vineyards. The vineyards are the same for Rosso and Brunello, indeed Rosso is often a byproduct of Brunello. However there are 500 hectares where only Rosso is allowed – while all the grapes able to produce Brunello can be declassified to make Rosso, the reverse is not true. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce called ‘Vermiglio’ (vermilion), Rosso di Montalcino is a dry, fruity red wine produced in the village of Montalcino in Tuscany. Rosso comes from the same area of origin as the prestigious Brunello di Montalcino, sharing the same Mediterranean climate and also based on 100% Sangiovese. However, Rosso di Montalcino is released sooner and is therefore more youthful than Brunello. Rosso di Montalcino has had its own DOC since 1983. Lighter and less extracted than Brunello, the best examples of Rosso di Montalcino. Given the Mediterranean climate, Rosso di Montalcino tends to have more moderate acidity compared to other Sangiovese wines from Tuscany such as Chianti, Chianti Classico, or even Rosso di Montepulciano, which explains its extraordinary drinkability. At the same time, it is often a bit more complex compared to Sangiovese from Maremma, just on the other side of the Orcia river.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Illuminati - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 'Zanna' 2017 ~ Abruzzo, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Montepulciano\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \" Rich red and black berries with hints of sea shells, dried herbs and a touch of balsamic.

Its name (Colline Teramane) means hills of Teramo, and it is thanks to this prime hilly site with outstanding growing conditions that the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo gem can shine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis territory in the province of Teramo, with its special microclimate and good soil structure, is located between the high peaks of the Gran Sasso National Park and the Adriatic coast. Local wine growers demonstrate passion, professionalism and respect for the Colline Teramane terroir, as well as treating the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape gently by cropping it at reasonably low levels so the vines can bear first-class fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wines require a minimum of 90% Montepulciano and a maximum of 10% Sangiovese. At least two years of ageing is required, with at least one year in oak barrels and at least six months in bottle before release. Those under the Riserva label must have spent a minimum of three years maturing. The result is a unique wine with distinct organoleptic sensations; it is often notable for its muscular and earthy character, robust but at the same time offering an elegant and velvet-smooth texture. Like a Vosne-Romanee, this wine can be described as ‘an iron hand in a velvet glove’. It is an expressive red delivering an intense purity of fruit, abundant in fresh dark cherries and black plums, with hints of spice and smoke evident from the time in oak.

The result is a rich, intense, full-bodied, and complex Chianti Classico, exuding aromas of cherries, plums, blackcurrants, and spices, enhanced by woody notes.

From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs.

Cru Beaujolais is the highest and most-esteemed classification in the region. There are 10 crus within the Beaujolais classification, each referring to a winemaking region, rather than an individual vineyard, as in nearby Burgundy. Crus range in style, from lighter-bodied and younger-drinking to fuller, age-worthy wines. The 10 Beaujolais crus are: Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, and Saint-Amour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Domaine du Pourpre Moulin-a-Vent 2020 ~ Beaujolais, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='[null,0,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":93}[null,107,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":130}[null,144,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":166}[null,180,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":203}[null,217,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":231}[null,246,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":260}[null,275,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":298}[null,315,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":331}[null,462,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":470}[null,1134,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1149}[null,1333,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1342}[null,1542,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":1557}[null,3076,{\"5\":1}]{\"1\":3085}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":[null,4,\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"],\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;94-95\/100 James Suckling\\n91\/100 Andrea Galloni, Vinous\\n91\/100 Decanter\\n93\/100 James Suckling (2017 Vintage)\\n93\/100 James Suckling (2016 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Wine Advocate (2016 Vintage)\\n94\/100 James Suckling (2015 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Vinous (2015 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Vinous (2014 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nWine Enthusiast \\\u0026quot;This wine has structure as well as vibrant black fruits.

Puglia is a major producer of both wine grapes and table grapes. Its name comes from a-pulvia, or “lack of rain” in Roman. The terroir is influenced by a sunny, warm Mediterranean climate with breezes from the Adriatic sea and fertile soil rich in limestone. The Puglian wine region is divided into three subregions: Foggia in the north, Bari and Taranto in the center, and Brindisi and Lecce in the south. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Veneto, Puglia is tied with Sicily as the second biggest wine region in Italy.

In addition to grapes, Puglia produces 40 percent of Italy's olive oil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grape of most interest to non-Italians is the early-ripening Primitivo, a speciality of the Gioia del Colle plain just south of Bari and Manduria, the western coast of the heel just south of Taranto.

An expert enologist, entrepreneur, farmer and wine producer, Giulio Straccali was above all a man of vision. Through the wines of Tuscany, he sought to communicate to the rest of the world the scents, colors and flavors of his beloved homeland. Convinced of the need to protect and nurture the reputation and quality of Chianti wines, Straccali consistently showed a pioneering spirit. He was instrumental in the founding of the Black Rooster Consortium and from 1942 until his death in 1969, he served as Vice President. In 1978 Italo Zingarelli, founder of the Rocca delle Macie estate in Castellina in Chianti, as part of his long-term business strategy and sharing the same dream set out by Giulio Straccali many decades earlier, purchased the company from the Straccali family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company estate now extends to more than 500 hectares (1250 acres) with, in total, more than 200 (500 acres) used as vineyards and 22 (54 acres) as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico Area, in addition to the Campomaccione and Casa Maria estates in the Morellino di Scansano Area (Maremma).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti region in Italy's Tuscany wine growing region is split between Chianti and Chianti Classico. Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese 90%.Sangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCanaiolo \u0026amp; Merlot 10%.\u003cbr\u003eThe Canaiolo Nero grape is particularly widespread in central Italy, used in the production of different DOC and DOCG wines. In particular it is used to impart softness to Chianti to stand alongside the Sangiovese. In addition to the Chianti, Canaiolo nero is used almost exclusively in blends, even for different wines of central Italy. The berry is black, medium, round and smooth with blue-violet consistent skin with much bloom. The bunch is medium, rather sparse, stubby or pyramidal, with one or two wings and with a medium-small, five-lobed, rarely three-lobed, dark green and opaque leaf. The grape Canaiolo nero prefers warm climates and hilly terrain, with good exposure. This grape has low vigor and medium age of maturation. The grape Canaiolo nero gives an intense ruby-red wine, alcoholic, but with low acidity. Blended with Sangiovese adds flavor and aroma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMerlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and \"easy drinking\" wines.

The process of adding (or repassing”) the lighter Valpolicella wine over the remainders of the “bigger” Amarone wine imparts additional color, texture and flavor to the Valpolicella wine.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region. The Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines. The Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region. Both wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the \"King of Wines,\" typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNebbiolo d'Alba is a red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety in the Alba region of the Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The wine is closely related to the more famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines, as they all come from the same Nebbiolo grape. However, Nebbiolo d'Alba tends to be more approachable, affordable, and ready to drink at a younger age compared to its Barolo and Barbaresco counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNebbiolo d'Alba wines often exhibit the characteristic red fruit aromas of Nebbiolo, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and sometimes plum.

The combination of a distinguished winemaking family, the reinvention of a much-maligned wine region, the unlocking of the potential of a mature vineyard and a general sense of creativity, have all contributed to a strong currency. \\n\\nCorymbia is the newish project of Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann family, of course, are generational wine producers in WA, with a history of iconic wines and vineyards. Rob, formerly working with Hardys, Cape Mentelle and Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley, has returned home and made a mark.\\n\\nThe family vineyard in Swan Valley is dry grown and organically farmed. While winemaking draws on the Manns’ suite of expertise and diversity of influences, it has been pared back for Corymbia, letting the fruit and character of the wines take the spotlight. \\n\\nThat Swan Valley has been put on a pedestal is wonderful, and a celebration of older vineyards, unique soil profile and a general sense of generational endeavour is exciting for the region. There’s an undercurrent of winemakers amplifying the region’s potential, but arguably Corymbia is the current totem.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nHuon Hooke \\\u0026quot;The Mann family are winemaking royalty in Western Australia.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nCorymbia is a new winery launched by one of founding families of Western Australian wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Ausyralia's oldest wine growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Coymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bernie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is pitch-perfect, medium weight, highly perfumed, and shaped with beautifully ripe tannins.

The name \"Maury\" derives from these black lands, known for their unique ability to retain the Sun's heat and release it to the vines during the cooler evenings. As a result, the Grenache and Carignan grapes show the estate's devotion to their terroir and winemaking craft which is evident in the exceptional wines they produce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic agricultural practices are now at the forefront of the wine-growing approach to achieve full organic certification, alongside the preservation of existing biodiversity.

Cropping is averaged at 29 HL per hectare across the domain, with the estate ranges at far less, and production levels of less than 10,000 cases annually point to grapes with exceptional concentration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCôtes du Roussillon Villages is an appellation for dry red wines from the Roussillon wine region of southern France. It represents wines which are a step up in quality from the more generic Côtes du Roussillon appellation. The grapes most commonly used in Côtes du Roussillon Villages wines are Carignan, Grenache and Syrah.Côtes du Roussillon-Villages is a sub-appellation in the northern half of the appellation in the valley of the river Agly, from the best slopes around the valley. The appellation is in the foothills of the Pyrenees and the better wines are normally produced from vines on the slopes, not in the valley floors. It is purely for red wines, with stricter appellation regulations than regular Côtes du Roussillon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blend allowed is: Carignan (maximum 60%), Syrah, Mourvèdre (minimum 30% combined), Grenache noir, Lladoner.

Its origins have been popularly debated, but its modern viticultural home is unquestionably the northern Rhône Valley of eastern France.

In France, Grenache is most widely planted in the southern Rhone Valley and throughout both Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon.

Domenico Bottega was a wine trader and passionate oenologist (an expert in the arts and techniques of wine). Domenico’s son, Aldo Bottega expanded his father’s passion to grappa and together with his wife Rosina, founded the Bottega Distillery in Pianzano di Godega. After the founder of Bottega Distillery died, his son Sandro became the company director and with the support of his sister Barbara and brother Stefano, they took over the company. In a few years, the Distillery started to gain recognition thanks to their innovative distillation system and to be able to reduce the alcohol content in grappa to make it softer and more delicate to the mouth.\\n\\nThe premises are located in a large, 19th Century farmstead, refurbished according to state-of-the art criteria of environmental friendliness, and surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards. The whole ground, at the heart of an area with a high density of water veins, is rich in water all year around. The area, especially suited for growing vines, lies halfway between Venice, the capital of art and culture, and the Dolomites, wonderful mountains that can be clearly seen in sunny days.

Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Coymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.\\n\\nSwan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31683,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":[null,2,16711680],\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":[null,2,0],\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":12,\"17\":0}' data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bernie (The Wine Front)\u003c\/strong\u003e \"It is pitch-perfect, medium weight, highly perfumed, and shaped with beautifully ripe tannins.

This wine comes from a ‘Selection Massale’ planted in 1998, which was taken from the famous 1853 vineyard. Basically, this means that cuttings are taken from the old vines and planted afresh. It preserves the genetic diversity and the quality that the old vines offer. So vines will be selected which have features the winemaker seeks, perhaps more resistance to disease than their neighbours, or more concentrated berries. All sorts of reasons. And there will usually be a mix of attributes. We don’t want boring old uniformity. So, you might not be getting what an ancient vine can offer but you are surely getting the next best thing, and at a fraction of the cost. It also explains the name, ‘Baby Bush’. The colour here is nearly an opaque red. The nose is typical Mourvèdre (anyone exploring the world of wine, wanting to see the characteristics of a single varietal Mourvèdre, this wine is an ideal example); earthy, burly, with chocolate, dark fruits and a meaty note.

Good ripeness and poise.\\\u0026quot; (2015 vintage)\\n\\nErin Larkin, The Wine Front \\\u0026quot;The 2015 ILR Reserve Semillon is so toasty and spiced. It has sun-drenched honeysuckle (a character I saw in the 2019 Oakey Creek Semillon as well), creamed honey, sandalwood, curls of saffron, layers of leaf (an autumnal, undergrowth, lichen character that is not dissimilar to aged Champagne—a yeast autolysis thing) and exotic spices such as star anise\/fennel through the finish. I like this wine so much. I am well familiar with the 2014, and each vintage retains the vineyard DNA through the seasonal fluctuations that the vines endure and thrive in. It's like the vineyard produces a structural clarity. This has a remarkable splay of flavors and textures derived from bottle age and immaculate cellaring.\\\u0026quot; (2015 vintage)\\n\\nDecanter World Wine Awards \\\u0026quot;Restrained aromas of toast and flint with lemony fruit.

The recipe is very similar: no oak, no malolactic, and bottled early from stainless steel. Again, that beautiful development here, adding a touch of flint to toast and lemon curd. The palate has a little more weight that the Tyrell's it feels to me (though slightly lower alcohol), and a bursting orangy brightness to the fruit. Delicious lemon jelly purity swept up in acidity in the finish, gives this salty savouriness as well as pleasing fruit brightness.\\\u0026quot; (2015 vintage)\\n\\nThe ILR Reserve Semillon is named after Chief Winemaker and Managing Director Iain Leslie Riggs, who joined the winery in 1982. Iain has taken Brokenwood from a small ‘hobby’ winery into the national and international arena, and was the driving force in Brokenwood extending the range to white wines.The ILR Reserve Semillon is an aged white wine that receives no oak.\\n\\nAfter tasting the wine over the first three years the decision was made to release at 5 years bottle age, in other words to have some bottle development but capable of aging further. In terms of winemaking it was a case of low (and now, zero) skin contact and neutral yeast.\\n\\nEstablished in 1970 Brokenwood Wines is one of Australia's most reputable premium wine labels and a must-visit in the Hunter Valley. It was established by Australia's leading wine critic, James Halliday. Consistently listed as a 5 star winery, Brokenwood is home to the famous Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, the highly acclaimed ILR Reserve Semillon, and the popular Cricket Pitch Range.\\n\\nThe Hunter Valley is the best-known and most highly prized wine region in New South Wales. It is known as the region where the Australian wine industry started. The valley's winemakers have pioneered two distinctive styles of wine (oaked Chardonnay and dry Semillon) and has retained a strong connection with both of them. The Hunter Valley's most famous wine style is its distinctive dry Semillon, made there since the 1870s. Hunter Valley Semillons are renowned for their ability to improve with age.\\n\\nSémillon is one of the wine world's unsung heroes. The gold-skinned grape produces France's most famous and revered sweet wines, notably Sauternes, and some of the greatest dry white wines of Australia - particulary those in the Hunter Valley. \u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Tom Cannavan \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Ned Goodwin MW \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - Decanter World Wine Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - 2023 Royal Adelaide Wine Show, Finlaysons Trophy for Best Semillon in show\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - 2023 NSW Wine Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - 2023 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold - 2023 Royal Sydney Wine Show\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2015 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e \"From one of the masters of developed semillon, helped in this instance by the great semillon vintage.

(In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines.

The winery, Mas de Lavail was founded in 1999 with the purchase of the property by the Batlle family.

The name \"Maury\" derives from these black lands, known for their unique ability to retain the Sun's heat and release it to the vines during the cooler evenings. As a result, the Grenache and Carignan grapes show the estate's devotion to their terroir and winemaking craft which is evident in the exceptional wines they produce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic agricultural practices are now at the forefront of the wine-growing approach to achieve full organic certification, alongside the preservation of existing biodiversity. Clearly, Grenache is the star here, as per the requirement of the Maury and newly designated Maury Sec AOCs, however, Syrah and Carignan (both Blanc and Noir) are far from just supporting acts, in fact producing stunning examples. Cropping is averaged at 29 HL per hectare across the domain, with the estate ranges at far less, and production levels of less than 10,000 cases annually point to grapes with exceptional concentration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarignan (also known as Mazuelo, Bovale Grande, Cariñena, Carinyena, Samsó, Carignane, and Carignano) is a red grape variety of Spanish origin that is more commonly found in French wine but is widely planted throughout the western Mediterranean and around the globe. Along with Aramon, it was considered one of the main grapes responsible for France's wine lake and was a substantial producer in jug wine production in California's Central Valley but in recent years, it has been reborn as a flagship wine for many cellars in the south of France as well as in Catalonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Les Centenaires La Bergerie Rouge Costières de Nimes (Organic) 2018 - Rhone, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker \u003c\/strong\u003e\"A full-bodied mouthfeel with notes of strawberry, cherry and white pepper, with supple tannins and a lovely length.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Carignan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Centenaires was founded Luc Baudet of Chateau Mas-Neuf fame, and Californian wine industry veteran, Jack Edwards who both share a passion for artisan wines and the terroir of France’s Southern Rhone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Centenaires is a historic vineyard situated in Costieres de Nimes, close to the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyard boasts 70-year-old Grenache vines which are deeply rooted in the pebble stones overlooking the picturesque lakes of Petite Camargue. The vineyard also features Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, and Cinsault, and is known for producing unique, high-end, elegant wines of excellent value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost). Inputs are limited to organically approved natural products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCostieres de Nimes is the most southerly appellation of the Rhone wine region in southeastern France. The wines of the area are reputed to have been consumed by the Ancient Greeks and thus figure among the oldest known wines in the world.

The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\r\\n\\r\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate.

As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs.

It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\\n\\nThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\\u0026quot;Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":13369344},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The nose is primarily savory, with notes of cured meat, topsoil and graphite, but undertones of sour cherries and tart berries provide some buzz.

More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":13369344},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The nose is primarily savory, with notes of cured meat, topsoil and graphite, but undertones of sour cherries and tart berries provide some buzz.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\\n\\nThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\\u0026quot;Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region. The Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines. The Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region. Both wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the \\\u0026quot;King of Wines,\\\u0026quot; typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNebbiolo is the grape variety behind the top-quality red wines of Piedmont, northwestern Italy, the most notable of which are Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are distinguished by their strong tannins, high acidity and distinctive scent – often described as \\\u0026quot;tar and roses\\\u0026quot;. They also tend to lose color. Within just a few years of vintage, most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from deep, violet-tinged ruby to a beautiful brick orange.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1080259,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16750848},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9,\"17\":1,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":416,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":799}{\"1\":831,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1135}{\"1\":1153,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1259}{\"1\":1276,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1474}{\"1\":1507,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1711}{\"1\":1748,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2066}{\"1\":2077,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2315}{\"1\":2326,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2731}{\"1\":2733,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Stephen Blandford, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Blandford, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"..A lovely wine of poise and balance.

The estate is located in a hidden jewel of an area known as the Ferguson Valley (in Geograph Bay in Western Australia) which, at that time, was home to only a few small vineyards. Immediately planting 60 hectares of vines and then building a state of the art winery (the first winery in the area) in time for their first vintage in 2000, established Willow Bridge as the pioneering estate of the area and demonstrated the family’s confidence in the property and resolve to see their vision become reality.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nWillow Bridge Estate continues to attract acclaim for the relatively newly established wine growing region of Geographe which is located adjacent to its more famous neighbour, Margaret River, in Western Australia. Wine critcs have heralded the winery for producing quality, good value wines. Winemaking is by veteran Western Australian winemaker, Kim Horton.\\n\\nThe Geographe wine growing region is located near the southern end of the Western Australia's Indian Ocean coast, between the emerging Peel region and famous Margaret River – with which its terroir shares several similarities. The best wines grown in this region include fruity Cabernet Sauvignon (often blended with Merlot), gamey Shiraz, rich, citrusy Chardonnay, and grassy 'SSB' blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The region's profile is increasing with several Geographe wineries winning national and international awards annually. At the heart of Western Australia's wine industry, the region supplies more than 10% of Western Australia's wine.\\n\\nCabernet Merlot is a red wine blend that brings forth the best characters of both the varietals used to craft it.

An expert enologist, entrepreneur, farmer and wine producer, Giulio Straccali was above all a man of vision. Through the wines of Tuscany, he sought to communicate to the rest of the world the scents, colors and flavors of his beloved homeland. Convinced of the need to protect and nurture the reputation and quality of Chianti wines, Straccali consistently showed a pioneering spirit. He was instrumental in the founding of the Black Rooster Consortium and from 1942 until his death in 1969, he served as Vice President. In 1978 Italo Zingarelli, founder of the Rocca delle Macie estate in Castellina in Chianti, as part of his long-term business strategy and sharing the same dream set out by Giulio Straccali many decades earlier, purchased the company from the Straccali family.\\n\\nRocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\\n\\nThe company estate now extends to more than 500 hectares (1250 acres) with, in total, more than 200 (500 acres) used as vineyards and 22 (54 acres) as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico Area, in addition to the Campomaccione and Casa Maria estates in the Morellino di Scansano Area (Maremma).\\n\\nThe Chianti region in Italy's Tuscany wine growing region is split between Chianti and Chianti Classico. Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\\n\\nSangiovese 90%.Sangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy.

The berry is black, medium, round and smooth with blue-violet consistent skin with much bloom. The bunch is medium, rather sparse, stubby or pyramidal, with one or two wings and with a medium-small, five-lobed, rarely three-lobed, dark green and opaque leaf. The grape Canaiolo nero prefers warm climates and hilly terrain, with good exposure. This grape has low vigor and medium age of maturation. The grape Canaiolo nero gives an intense ruby-red wine, alcoholic, but with low acidity.

An expert enologist, entrepreneur, farmer and wine producer, Giulio Straccali was above all a man of vision. Through the wines of Tuscany, he sought to communicate to the rest of the world the scents, colors and flavors of his beloved homeland. Convinced of the need to protect and nurture the reputation and quality of Chianti wines, Straccali consistently showed a pioneering spirit. He was instrumental in the founding of the Black Rooster Consortium and from 1942 until his death in 1969, he served as Vice President. In 1978 Italo Zingarelli, founder of the Rocca delle Macie estate in Castellina in Chianti, as part of his long-term business strategy and sharing the same dream set out by Giulio Straccali many decades earlier, purchased the company from the Straccali family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRocca delle Macìe was established in 1973, when film producer Italo Zingarelli – of Ettore Scola’s “We All Loved Each Other So Much” fame, and also the wildly popular series of films featuring comedy duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (including “They Call Me Trinity” and “Trinity Is Still My Name”) – decided to realize his lifelong dream by acquiring the “Le Macìe” estate – extending across 93 hectares (230 acres) in all, of which only two were under vine – in order to create a winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company estate now extends to more than 500 hectares (1250 acres) with, in total, more than 200 (500 acres) used as vineyards and 22 (54 acres) as olive groves, subdivided across the company’s six estates: Le Macìe, Sant’Alfonso, Fizzano e le Tavolelle in the Chianti Classico Area, in addition to the Campomaccione and Casa Maria estates in the Morellino di Scansano Area (Maremma).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti region in Italy's Tuscany wine growing region is split between Chianti and Chianti Classico. Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSangiovese 90%.Sangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy.

Morellino di Scansano takes center-stage but has been complemented over the years by white and rosé wines bearing the recently created Maremma DOC denomination, along with Typical Geographical Indication (IGT) wines in a more modern style that nevertheless respects the Tuscan tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVermentino (“vur-men-teeno”) is a light-bodied white wine that grows mostly in Italy on the island of Sardinia. What’s exciting about Vermentino is it can be deliciously complex in taste in similar style to Sauvignon Blanc; One style is richer and creamier and the other is lighter, more floral and zestier. Because Vermentino is so unknown, you can find high quality wines for a great value. Wines with similar body and taste profile include Albariño, Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Soave and Verdejo.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the typical light-bodied character of Vermentino, it’s actually quite complex to taste. A glass of classic Sardinia Vermentino will offer up lively aromas of pear, white peach, lime and pink grapefruit with subtle notes of crushed rocks and citrus zest. On the palate, Vermentino is almost always dry and somewhat oily with flavors of grapefruit and citrus, with a crushed rocky minerality and saltiness. On the finish, it can be a bit snappy with bitterness similar to the taste of grapefruit pith or, if it’s on the riper side, fresh almond.\u003cbr\u003eIn Provence, Vermentino is called Rolle (“roll”).

Situated at the north-eastern tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region produces around three-quarters of all New Zealand wine. It is particularly famous for its pungent, zesty Sauvignon Blanc - widely considered by critics to be the best Sauvignon currently produced anywhere on the planet. Commercial-scale viticulture began in Marlborough in the 1970s – it conquered the world within 25 years!\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":31619,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":10,\"17\":1}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 New Zealand Wine Rater \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze - Wine Spectator \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBronze - Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e(2022 vintage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;92\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review\\n90\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review (2022 vintage)\\n93\/100 New Zealand Wine Rater (2022 vintage) \\nBronze - Wine Spectator (2022 vintage) \\nBronze - Wine Enthusiast (2022 vintage) \\n93\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review (2021 vintage)\\n92\/100 Wine Spectator (2021 vintage) \\n95\/100 Bob Campbell, The Real Review (2020 vintage)\\n91\/100 James Suckling (2020 vintage)\\n\\nGold - Asia Wine Challenge (2022 vintage) \\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2022 vintage) \\nBronze -  The National Wine Awards of Aotearoa 2022 (2022 vintage)\\nCommended - International Wine Challenge (2022 vintage)\\nGold - International Wine Challenge (2020 vintage)\\nSilver - London Wine Competition (2020 vintage)\\n\\nBob Campbell, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Tangy, vibrant wine with passionfruit, guava, capsicum and gooseberry flavours.

Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\\n\\nThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines. The Chianti Classico DOCG is located in the very center of Tuscany, between Florence and Sienna.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\\u0026quot;Tuscany is Italy's third most planted region (behind Sicily and Apulia) but it is eighth in terms of output, reflecting both the poor soil of Tuscany and deliberate efforts to limit yields and increase the quality in the wine. After Piedmont and the Veneto, Tuscany produces the third-highest volume of DOC\/DOCG wines. More than 80% of the regions' production is in red wine, with the Sangiovese grape being Tuscany's' most prominent grape. Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\\n\\nThe history of viticulture in Tuscany dates back to the Etruscans in the 8th century BC. From the fall of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main purveyors of wines in the region. As the aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, they inherited the share-cropping system of agriculture known as mezzadria. Many Tuscan landowners would turn their half of the grape harvest into wine that would be sold to merchants in Florence. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Tuscany returned to the rule of the Habsburgs. Chianti, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscan are Tuscany’s best known wines.\\n\\nSangiovese (or Nielluccio in Corsica), a dark-berried vine, is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. Virtually synonymous with the red wines of Tuscany, and all the romanticism that goes with the territory, Sangiovese is the core constituent in some of the great names in Italian wine. Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\\n\\nCabernet Sauvignon is one of the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":13369344},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The nose is primarily savory, with notes of cured meat, topsoil and graphite, but undertones of sour cherries and tart berries provide some buzz.

Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Poderi Colla Barbaresco Tenuta Roncaglie (Organic) 2020 - Barbaresco, Italy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;96\/100 Stephen Blandford, The Real Review \\n94\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics \\n95\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2019 vintage)\\n95\/100 The Wine Front (2019 vintage) \\n94\/100 James Suckling (2019 vintage)  \\n91\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics (2019 vintage) \\n90\/100 Stephen Blandford, The Real Review (2019 vintage) \\n90\/100 Falstaff (2019 vintage) \\n18\/20 Jancis Robinson (2019 vintage)\\n\\nStephen Blandford, The Real Review \\\u0026quot;..A lovely wine of poise and balance.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region. The Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines. The Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region. Both wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the \\\u0026quot;King of Wines,\\\u0026quot; typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNebbiolo is the grape variety behind the top-quality red wines of Piedmont, northwestern Italy, the most notable of which are Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are distinguished by their strong tannins, high acidity and distinctive scent – often described as \\\u0026quot;tar and roses\\\u0026quot;. They also tend to lose color. Within just a few years of vintage, most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from deep, violet-tinged ruby to a beautiful brick orange.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1080259,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16750848},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9,\"17\":1,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":416,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":799}{\"1\":831,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1135}{\"1\":1153,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1259}{\"1\":1276,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1474}{\"1\":1507,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1711}{\"1\":1748,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2066}{\"1\":2077,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2315}{\"1\":2326,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2731}{\"1\":2733,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Stephen Blandford, The Real Review \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Raffaele Vecchione, Winecritics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Blandford, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"..A lovely wine of poise and balance.

The winery is known for its dedication to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region in Piedmont. The winery was founded by the Colla family, who have produced wine for more than five generations. Brothers Tino and Beppe Colla brought Poderi Colla to international fame. Prominent figures in the winemaking world, the bothers studied winemaking in Burgundy and brought Pinot Noir cuttings back to Italy to propegate at their family's wine estate. Tino and Beppe Colla both played significant roles in elevating the reputation of Barolo and Barbaresco wines to international acclaim. \\n\\nThe Poderi Colla winery focuses on sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, producing wines that showcase the authentic flavors of the grapes. Poderi Colla produces a range of wines, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, and other regional varieties. Their Barolo and Barbaresco wines are especially revered, and they often age them in large oak casks to allow the wines to develop complex and nuanced flavors over time.\\n\\nTalk to us at Pop Up Wine and we'll gladly organise a tour of the Poderi Colla winery when you are next in Italy. We can arrange a tour of the vineyards, cellars, and tasting rooms where you will be able to learn about the winemaking process and sample Poderi Colla wines. Visiting the estate offers an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Langhe region while enjoying some of Italy's finest wines.\\n\\nThe Barbaresco wine region\\nThe Barbaresco wine region is one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas in Italy, located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is renowned for producing some of the finest red wines in the world, made primarily from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Barbaresco is situated in the Langhe hills, in the province of Cuneo, near the town of Alba. The Nebbiolo grape is the hallmark of Barbaresco wines. This variety is known for its thick skin, high acidity, and pronounced tannins, which contribute to the wine's structure and aging potential. Barbaresco wines made from Nebbiolo are typically elegant, aromatic, and complex.\\n\\nWine Regulations\\nBarbaresco holds the prestigious DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) status, which is the highest level of Italian wine classification. To carry the Barbaresco DOCG label, wines must adhere to strict regulations, including minimum aging requirements.\\n\\n\\nAging\\nAccording to the regulations, Barbaresco wines must be aged for a minimum of two years, of which at least nine months must be spent in oak barrels. For Barbaresco Riserva wines, the aging period increases to a minimum of four years, with at least two years in oak barrels.\\n\\nNebbiolo Grape and Barbaresco Wine\\nThe Nebbiolo grape is the hallmark of Barbaresco wines.

Their versatility also makes them suitable for pairing with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.\\n\\nThe Langhe is a prestigious winemaking region located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region. The Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines. The Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region. Both wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the \\\u0026quot;King of Wines,\\\u0026quot; typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNebbiolo is the grape variety behind the top-quality red wines of Piedmont, northwestern Italy, the most notable of which are Barolo and Barbaresco. Nebbiolo wines are distinguished by their strong tannins, high acidity and distinctive scent – often described as \\\u0026quot;tar and roses\\\u0026quot;. They also tend to lose color. Within just a few years of vintage, most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from deep, violet-tinged ruby to a beautiful brick orange.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1080259,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16750848},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9,\"17\":1,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0}{\"1\":416,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":799}{\"1\":831,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1135}{\"1\":1153,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1259}{\"1\":1276,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1474}{\"1\":1507,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":1711}{\"1\":1748,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2066}{\"1\":2077,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2315}{\"1\":2326,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}{\"1\":2731}{\"1\":2733,\"2\":{\"5\":0}}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the regulations, Barbaresco wines must be aged for a minimum of two years, of which at least nine months must be spent in oak barrels.

Like most other wines made in the Old World, Chianti derives its name not from the grape used to make the wine, which is Sangiovese, but from the region where it is made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a Chianti to be a Chianti, it must be produced in the Chianti region and be made from at least 80% Sangiovese grapes. While most Chiantis are 100% Sangiovese, some winemakers in the region like to blend the Sangiovese with a little Cabernet, Merlot or Syrah to soften the finish of the wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti region in Italy's Tuscany wine growing region is split between Chianti and Chianti Classico. Accordingly, two separate DOCG designations apply to wines from the Chianti region: the Chianti Classico DOCG for the heartland of Chianti, and Chianti DOCG for all other Chianti regions. (In 1984, the Chianti region was promoted from DOC to DOCG - Italy’s highest classification - and in 1996, Chianti Classico - the historic heartland of the region - DOCG was created, which gave autonomy to that region. In the last 20 years, a consortium of Chianti Classico producers have researched new Sangiovese clones, replanted vineyards, updated cellar practices and generally made Chianti Classico DOCG a world-class appellation. Chianti Classico must contain a minimum of 75% Sangiovese. In the 2014 edition of its annual compendium of wine ratings, Gambero Rosso noted that Chianti Classico DOCG wines were noteworthy for their “significant return to a more defined style, true to tradition.” The typical Chianti Classico wine is a ruby-red, Sangiovese-based wine with aromas of violets and cherries and a hint of earthy spice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chianti DOCG designation covers wines from six Chianti sub-zones (Colli Pisane, Colli Fiorentini, Colli Senesi, Colli Aretini, Montalbano and Rufina) as well as all other Chianti wines.

What’s exciting about Vermentino is it can be deliciously complex in taste in similar style to Sauvignon Blanc; One style is richer and creamier and the other is lighter, more floral and zestier. Because Vermentino is so unknown, you can find high quality wines for a great value. Wines with similar body and taste profile include Albariño, Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Soave and Verdejo.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the typical light-bodied character of Vermentino, it’s actually quite complex to taste. A glass of classic Sardinia Vermentino will offer up lively aromas of pear, white peach, lime and pink grapefruit with subtle notes of crushed rocks and citrus zest. On the palate, Vermentino is almost always dry and somewhat oily with flavors of grapefruit and citrus, with a crushed rocky minerality and saltiness. On the finish, it can be a bit snappy with bitterness similar to the taste of grapefruit pith or, if it’s on the riper side, fresh almond.\u003cbr\u003eIn Provence, Vermentino is called Rolle (“roll”).

Italy's love affair with Sangiovese – and indeed the world's – is generations old, though recent grapevine research suggests the variety is not as ancient as once thought.\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 5 Stars Wine - The Book - Vinitaly \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Falstaff \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Raffele Vecchione, Wine Critics \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - currently undergoing certification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Medium ruby red with slightly lightening rim.

Trebbiano is the leading white variety of the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Pop Up Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48787167379688,"sku":"PUW-ITBEST-V6P","price":277.42,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/ItalianBestBuys_6Pack.jpg?v=1784709713"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/collections\/Warehouse_Collection_Banner_1_daa9b9e6-931a-42c7-8d8b-b03f069c8901.jpg?v=1791191536","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/collections\/wine-packs-market-fair-sale.oembed","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
