Ma de Daumas Gassac Picpoul de Pinet, Southwest France
In the heart of the Haute Vallée du Gassac, Mas de Daumas Gassac crafts elegant ageing wines from an unique terroir in Languedoc with a preserved microclimate. Family owned for over 500 years, this estate has always followed organic practices. This Picpoul de Pinet seduces with its freshness and liveliness. It reveals aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and a hint of iodine. On the palate, it is light, taut and refreshing. An ideal wine to accompany seafood, shellfish, salads and grilled fish.
Nice “Just Land” Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa
The grapes were handpicked and whole-bunch pressed, with the must settled overnight. Minimal sulphites were added at crush to promote natural fermentation from indigenous yeast, with no further additions. Once fermentation began, the juice was racked to barrel to complete fermentation on the skins. The wine then underwent an extended barrel aging process for a total of 30 months. A cool climate, crisp, and dry wine with ripe fruits and mineral acidity.
Gerard Bertrand “Trouble Cloudy Wine” “Chillable” Red Blend, Languedoc France
This cloudy, organic, vegan wine challenges norms and breaks with convention. A blend of Syrah and Grenache, this “chillable” red wine offers red and black fruit aromas such as blackcurrant, blackberry and raspberry. It has a beautiful structure on the palate, with a velvety feel borne up by fruity flavors. An original wine that will delight fans of light reds. Serve as an aperitif or try with summer fare such as grilled lamb chops or asparagus risotto. Did I say it can be served chilled?
Drop Of Sunshine Red Blend, Central Coast California
This blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 19% Syrah, and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon is bold and tasty with dark ripe fruit led by blackberry and black cherry on the palate. Smooth and supportive tannins with well-integrated toasty oak and spiced aromas make our wine a perfectly well-rounded finish. Hailing from California’s Central Coast, this Red Blend showcases bright coastal fruit, elegant structure, and nuanced complexity.
Esteva Red, Douro Portugal
This blend of a number of unpronounceable indigenous grape varietals exhibits intense notes of red fruit with floral hints of violet and rockrose, alongside balsamic tones of resin, cedar, and tobacco box. Smooth with polished tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a long finish. Ideal with poultry, charcuterie, pork, cheeses, a variety of pastas and rich salads.
Anne-Sophie Pic & Michael Chapoutier Cotes du Rhone, France
This is a collaboration of Anne-Sophie Pic, renowned Michelin 3 star chef & Michel Chapoutier, a premier Rhone producer. They both agreed very early on to move off the beaten track. They share the conviction that food, for Anne-Sophie, or wine, for Michel, can be reinvented and they both desire to bring their own interpretation to each of these areas. Aromas of red fruits (mainly morello cherries) and spices (licorice, grey pepper). Tannins are firm and silky and the wine has a great structure. This versatile wine pairs nicely with a wood fired pizza, charcuterie, or just about anything off of the grill.
