A wine conceived almost as a challenge, made from one of the most extensive, historic crus in the Barbaresco wine-growing area and one of the most long-lasting. Greeted with acclaim as soon as it was vinified separately for the first time in 2004.

Intense and complex, with fruity overtones conjuring up plums and blackberries, and spicy hints of vanilla and roasted hazelnuts.

Jean-Michel Stephan is a rising star who is gaining recognition for his unfiltered and hypernatural Cote-Roties. His small 11 acre parcel spans the Cote Blonde (90%) and the Cote Brune (10%) and is predominately planted to Syrah, followed by Serine (the small berry ancestor of Syrah) and Viognier. On average, his vines are 50 years old although some vines are more 100 years old

The vines are perched on a small swell half way up a sheer mountainside in the Valais region of Switzerland. The only way to access the domaine is a 3 hour walk up an absurdly precarious footpath with fixed ropes or a small, rustic cable car.

Petite Arvine is considered the white gem of the Valais. Bright with mid-palate richness falling between Viognier & Riesling.

Historically this was the most prized vineyard in Bourgeuil, belonging to the monks at the local abbey for centuries. Fully surrounded by a ten foot wall, this site is located just inside the current village limits of Benais where Gauthier’s winery is located.

Delicate mineral notes backed up by fairly firm and ripe tannins. Rich and seductive, but with great finesse.

e nobility and purity of the indigenous Sangiovese are enhanced by the stone and tuff of the Loreto vineyard, in the bright summer of 2015. Extremely seductive wine, with fruity notes and spicy hints admirably fused in a harmonious whole, in perfect balance between power and sweetness, strength and fragrance.

Mostly Parellada from Francesc Ferré, Oriol's friend from Celler Tuets, a fantastic producer of natural wines in Catalunya. There is a small percentage (about 15%) of Garnatxa also, from Celler Frisach, hence the Frisach & Tuets label.

The lift and acidity of the Parellada are the main attractions here, giving the wine a lithe quality and contributing a very light texture.

A deep ruby color with floral notes, fresh raspberry, red plum, dark cocoa and vanillin on the nose. The palate is fresh, with a firm structure. Notes of spices well balanced with the fruit.

Ultra-traditional Barbaresco from a producer who’s been doing it that way for decades. Extra years of aging in botti grandi and then in bottle before release, plus library releases held back for even later release.

On the terraced slopes of the "Hochrain" in Wösendorf my Grüner Veltliner stands on deep loess. The wines here develop nutty and spicy with yellow-fruity aromas. Compared to the Veltliners from the primary rock, the "Hochrain" is a precise example of how much the soil influences the character of the wine.

This is an impressive second wine. It shows a lot of vibrant red berries, blackberries and darker plum fruits. The palate is impressive for the vibrant and lively acidity cast amid sturdy but supple tannins. Second wine from Pichon-Lalande.

Plenty of menthol, blackberry and blackcurrant aromas in this elegant, medium-weight Haut-Médoc that’s got as much freshness as ripeness and a long, clean, mineral and herbal finish. An incredibly food-flexible wine!

This Carmenère has a deep ruby red color with violet hues. Aromatics are fresh and intense with notes of ripe dark berry fruits, black pepper and spices. The palate has a soft texture with ripe tannins, balancing acidity and a fresh fruit core with a lingering finish.

Ruby red colour with mineral and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied, dry wine with a crisp acidity (perfect for the whole meal) and soft tannins. This Barbera is very well balanced, with a good complexity and a red cherry finish.
