Born from the volcanic soils of Lipari Island, Ypsilon is a red blend that is shaped by the island’s sun-drenched days and cool, breezy nights. It is a blend of Corinto Nero, Nero d’Avola, and Alicante grapes cultivated as bush vines on the Castellaro plain, 350 meters above the Aeolian sea. It’s a true island wine, a taste of the wild, untamed beauty just north of Sicily.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, no fining, vegan.
Fruit for this 1er cru White Burgundy comes from the highest vineyard site in Maranges (avg. 30 years in age). This is a sneaky premier cru that I think would keep an eye on. It may be the best valued Burgundy on the market.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged for 12 months in barrel.
This wine is a history lesson in a glass. Cahors is one of the oldest wines produced in Europe and Clos La Coutale is one of the region’s oldest domaines that was founded before the French Revolution! Think of Cahors as the sophisticated but humbler country cousin of Bordeaux. It’s loaded with personality and a great party pick. We are in the season of stews, roasts and game, and this French Malbec just fits the bill.
Organic farming practices and aged for a year in French oak barrels.
This Tempranillo-dominant red is a very elegant example of Rioja made from high-quality grapes and meticulous winemaking. If you typically like red blends or Cabernet Sauvignon, give this a try for your next BBQ!
Sustainably farmed 50+ year old bush vines. The wine was aged for 12 months in barrel and only 1,800 cases are produced annually.
