Haut Lavigne Cotes du Duras Sauv Semillon
Nadia Lusseau is the young winemaker who founded this domaine in 2002. Located 10 kilometers from Duras and 25 kilometers from Bergerac—minutes away from the city of Bordeaux. Nadia takes a smart and traditional approach to winemaking and she's been farming organically since ’05. We love this wine for its honest simplicity. A little touch of grapefruit on the nose leads to a round Semillon mouth feel with balanced acidity. Winemaking Details: Unfined, Unfiltered, Vegan, Wild Yeast Fermentation, Low SO2 Added
Sablonnettes P'tit Blanc
Christine and Joel Mneard have been making wine in the heart of Coteaux du Layon AOC for more than twenty years. They practice bionynamic methods in their 13 hectares of vines. The wine was made as naturally as possible, no artificial yeasts and unfiltered. Fresh nose with notes of flowers, almonds and subtle pear and a finale of honey. It is charming and delightful!
Sablonnettes Les Copains D'Abord Grolleau
Christine and Joel Menard have been making wine in the Coteaux du Layon AOC for more than twenty years. They are among a handful of producers growing lesser-known Loire Valley grape varieties, like this Grolleau. Cloudy ruby in the glass with layers of cherry pit & plum. The palate has a ton of red fruit flavors boosted by scintillating minerality & silken folds of acidity. A complex & vibrant red. Winemaking Details: Wild Yeast Fermentation, Unfiltered, Unfined, No SO2 Added
Birgit Eichinger Gruner Veltliner
The winery was founded in 1992 by Birgit Eichinger and her husband Christian. Her viticultural goal is "to optimize the natural aroma and flavor potential inherent in the grapes, matching varietals and terrain, practicing careful vineyard management and applying painstaking vinification." all the while respecting the "Less is More" natural principle. Her passion and dedication come through in her wines. This wine shows spice and floral notes on the nose, with yellow plum, apple and a bit of white pepper on the palate. With its mouth watering acidity, it goes down very easy.
Errazuriz Wild Ferment Chardonnay
Errazuiraz is located west of Santiago and a mere twenty miles from the Pacific Ocean. As the name implies, this was fermented on its native yeasts. Offers full bodied apple and nectarine fruit, integrated oak and balanced acidity, making it a good food wine.
