The base wine was kept on the lees for 8 months initially during the first fermentation. 10% of the Chardonnay was Barrel Fermented. The second fermentation that occurs in the bottle ages on the lees for 96 months. After “disgorgement”, or removal of the yeast lees, and “dosage” (adding base wine and sugar) the final product is left on the cork for 9months, and then released.

Medium ruby ​​color and a bouquet made up of dark cherries, blackberries, homemade jam, and a touch of vanilla. The wine is medium bodied with a good acidity and an elegant finish.

Very attractive combination of dried fruit and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very refined, yet intense, with plush, velvety tannins that are wonderfully integrated and intertwined with the fruit. Ripe center palate. Tight at the end, suggesting the need for some serious bottle age. Very structured. Try after 2025.

Domaine du Bagnol is only 200 meters from the Mediterranean. The sun is hot and the grapes (Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsault) have no trouble ripening. But the breezes that make the village so pleasant for the people lucky enough to summer there also keep the fruit feeling fresh. And the rocky hills are full of clay and limestone. Beautiful to look at and just as beautiful to taste in the wine they grow. The limestone-mineral structure and clay-rich layers of fruit are balanced beautifully by the tang of sea breeze and mountain wind.

The base wine was kept on the lees for 8 months initially during the first fermentation. 10% of the Chardonnay was Barrel Fermented. The second fermentation that occurs in the bottle ages on the lees for 84 months. After “disgorgement”, or removal of the yeast lees, and “dosage” (adding base wine and sugar) the final product is left on the cork for 9 months, and then released.

A vivid Grenache Blanc dominant blend from the stony soils of Costières de Nîmes, the southernmost region of the Rhône Valley. Soft, floral aromatics lead to a bright palate of citrus, white peach skin, and flint. A wine as sunny as the French Riviera. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.

The family’s first attempt at Meunier Rosé! The grapes come from a parcel with incredibly concentrated fruit, leading to incredibly rich, aromatic rosé. It spends thirty hours on its skins after destemming, before being bled off and fermented/aged into used barrels. Rich fruited, herbal, bright, saline, wow. This is the Rosé of our dreams.

Rhone varietals and a little Vermentino lend themselves to a hyper-crushable strawberry lemonade zinger. Described as “a little too good,” and “just goes too well with crawfish” by winemaker Monica Bourgeois. Perfect wine for summer backyard bbq and front porch hangouts.

Most of the grapes come from old plantings of Pinot Gris in the Eola Hills Zenith vineyard. After gentle whole cluster pressing the juice is allowed to ferment naturally with indigenous yeast in older French oak. It is bottled without filtration and with minimal use of sulfur. The bright pale pink cherry fruit is lent a layer of texture and creaminess from the barrel. Delicious

The zippy, spritzy Txakoli wines are mostly consumed straight from the fermenter in their native Basque region of northern Spain. The probiotic haze increases the body, and balances with the screaming acidity to add creaminess to the minerality and hint of natural salinity. However until now exports are always cold stabilized and filtered. This rare treat is great with seafood!

This lesser known grape from Italy's heel is rumored to have been brought to Puglia by refugees fleeing the Trojan War. This especially warm region produces some powerfully good food wines but rarely any with this level of balanced acidity and subtle brambly blackberry notes. Great with rustic pasta dishes like orecchiette with broccoli rabe & spicy italian sausage.

Do I want Orange wine? You want this one, to start. The mythic UFO tales of Bonny Doon Vineyard says 'if you're going to Doon it, Doon it well.' The nouveau fascination that skin-contact white wines are interesting, and (Doon well), provide outright pleasure and enjoyment. Don't believe us? Let the wine speak. Go ahead; try it. Citrus, Tangerine, peach, apricot, flowers. Yes!

France- Perfect for white wine enthusiasts. Light, crisp citrus aroma with a mild sweetness that leads you into a honeyed entry and a slightly dry body. Subtly spiced finish rounds it out. Enjoy straight from the fridge.
