Château des Rontets 'Clos Varambon' Pouilly-Fuissé, 2022
The Rontets estate dates to the 18th century with the current family having held the property since 1848. The Clos Varambon includes exclusively planting from their Clos, a humble 4.5 hectares, with vine ages dating to 1945. A period of 2 years is spent in bottle maturing after spending time in oak vessels for fermentation and aging. The Varambon is focused on clearly expressing the fruit and aromatic complexities of this rich iteration of Pouilly-Fuissé.
Tribute to Grace, Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, California, Grenache Rosé, 2024
Winemaker Angela Osborne connects deeply with this single vineyard old-vine Grenache grown at 3200 ft. and uses biodynamic principles to convert the energy of the land into this graceful (no pun intended) Rosé. Angela foot treads the whole-cluster fruit before fermentation to extract color for this Rosé. With this bottle you can expect a palate packed with delicate floral and stone fruit flavors with bright acidity and an herbal anise-tinged finish.
Claus Preisinger 'Puszta Libre' Burgenland, Austria, 2023
A wild yet lively and very drinkable red wine blend from Burgenland, Austria that's made from Saint Laurent and Zweigelt. Delicate tannins and a vibrant red and black berried fruit character make this an excellent wine for the table. Drinks well with a slight chill.
Gregoletto, Treviso Sui Lieviti Prosecco, Veneto, Italy, 2023
Naturally made Prosecco, made by refermenting in bottle without disgorgement. It has the slight cloudiness of a pet-nat with bracingly pure, clean flavors. It is crafted via sustainable, traditional practices in the hilly epicenter of the vast Prosecco zone, and that great terroir shines through with clarity in each mouthwatering sip. You’ll see that the Gregoletto family is in a league all their own when it comes to old-school Italian farmer fizz.
