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
Binner Riesling Katzenstal
The wines mirror the winemaker when it comes to Binner, a smart, soft spoken, sensitive seeming guy.This Alsatian Riesling brims with aromatic flowers, an almost tropical ripeness of guava, perfectly balanced with lemon zest and a crisp finish. Winemaking Details: Unfiltered, Unfined, Wild Yeast Fermentation, Low SO2 Added
Albert Mann Gewurztraminer
Domaine Albert Mann is the fruit of two winemaking families in the region. Together, they have 900 years of winemaking history. They grow traditional Alsatian varieties using biodynamic farming method. The soil is marl sandstone that remains cooler which helps to retain acidity in the fruits. This wine has pronounced nose of lychee, white peach and orange peel. On the palate, the mouthfeel is round and full with spicy bitterness at the end. Exactly what you look for in a proper Gewurtztraminer. Winemaking Details: Low SO2 Added
BioVio Pigato
BioVio is the kind of winery that you get to know about only if you hang out with the Ligurian locals- nearly all of the tiny production is poured into their glasses to be enjoyed. This is a fascinating wine, with notes of basil and pine nuts on the nose (not surprisingly, Liguria is also the home of pesto). Flavors of white peach and almond follow, with a creamy texture and plenty of acidity to back it up. And for you linguists, Pigato's name comes from the reddish brown spots that form on the (certified organic) grapes when ripe. Winemaking Details: Low SO2 Added
