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.
Atalier is the exciting new Rías Baixas Albariño project from the redoubtable Raúl Pérez, and this wine is nothing short of explosive. It leaps out of the glass with aromas of oyster shell and etherized granite and follows through with a palate rich in marine-inflected yellow and green fruits and sporting a powerful surge of acidity.
Fermented and aged in large, neutral French oak foudres. The oxygenation that occurs during this élevage gives the wine a softer, rounder entry that balances out the razor-sharp acidity. Biodynamic and organic.
A classic style and a great alternative to more expensive Chablis. This is a great party wine to serve as an apéritif alongside shellfish appetizers or with dinner if something like linguine & clams is on the menu.
Certified organic farming practices, aged on the lees for 6-10 months in temperature controlled tanks, around 6,000 cases produced annually.
Bright and expressive, this Godello opens with aromas of white flowers, wild herbs, and a hint of smoky minerality. The palate is fresh and textured, unfolding layers of white peach, salted grapefruit, and a whisper of anise. Balanced acidity and a subtle bitterness on the finish mark it as a classic expression of this rare varietal that graces the Iberian peninsula.
Pair with: Grilled shrimp in a citrus-herb marinade with toasted hazelnuts, or roasted turkey with peach-fennel stuffing and creamy polenta to echo the wine’s vibrant fruit and savory undertones.
