This is a classical Italian white variety that was grown in Ancient Rome. Lightly pressed, fermented with wild yeast & prepared for bottling with minimal interference. Similar to a Riesling in style but with its own floral/spicy varietal characters & a bit more texture.
Cool soaked on skins & stem for 10 days before being pressed, settled then racked into old French oak barrels for WYF fermentation. Soaking on skin delivered a gorgeous peachy blush! Citrus rind, cardamon, tangerine, ginger, musk, & a smidgen of peat.
Not surprisingly this release from Brothers Mclean really grabbed our attention. Made by very good winemakers, Alex & Peter McLean this wine is alluring & layered. Produced with Mencía (“Men-thee-ah”) from the Pyrenees. A grape originally from Western Spain and Portugal is a delicious middleweight red that is full of red and black fruit flavours, minerality and fine tannins.
A light and lively wine with fresh citrus and pear flavours and a touch of bitter almond. Partial skin ferment adds texture. Its bright natural acidity makes it refreshing and a good match with many foods.
A harmonious fusion of small berried blue and black fruits greets the senses. Blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, black plum entwined with dark chocolate cherry ripe. This wine is all about juicy fruits and textural mouth filling tannins.
Dusty, musky cherry & blueberry on the nose. The palate is light to medium bodied, dry with a touch of sour cherry, along with chocolatey cherry ripe & salty plum. Bright acid & just enough tannin make this a great little wine.
