Distinctly Marlborough, this Sauvignon Blanc exudes vibrant ripe citrus notes, crunchy greens and hints of tropical guava on the nose. The palate is refined and elegant with superb natural fruit weight providing a juicy core of layered fruit, entwined with a salty textural acidity, vibrant citrus pith and a moreish dry chalky finish. Another remarkable Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc. A perfect match with plump oysters, green lip mussels, even prosciutto and rock melon.
Light gold in color, teeming with enticing aromas of citrus fruit and white peaches, Château de Fontenille Entre Deux Mers displays wonderful acidity and freshness on the palate coupled with exotic fruit and citrus flavors.
Food Pairings: A perfect accompaniment to seafood and salmon, sushi, paella and sauerkraut dishes.
Medium green yellow; pure pepper on the nose; hinting at typical Grüner spiciness; aromatic herbs and yellow fruit; dense and complex on the palate; great promise for the future. Goes best with fish e.g. with trout or salmon; also very good with spicy food; especially asian cuisine.
Argyle Pinot Noir is an honest representation of the Willamette Valley. Fermented entirely in small 1.5 ton lots and plunged by hand, Argyle Pinot Noir is blended for purity. The nose leans towards dark cherry, red raspberry and spicy earth, while the middle palate is lush and graceful. On the back end, the wine builds density and focus as the silky yet, subtly firm tannins build into the long, energetic finish.
The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Neive and Barbaresco Villages, at 200 to 300 ft. above sea level. The average age of the vines is 40 years and they are grown on a Southwest and Southern facing in calcerous clay soil, at a density of about 2,000 plants per acre. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks after a short period in contact with dry ice to increase complexity and aroma. Skin maceration takes place over 8 days, assuring good color and body. The wine spends twelve months in French barriques and Slavonian oak casks, followed by six months in bottles before shipping.
Serving: This wine is a perfect accompaniment red meats like and pork, as well as an array of Italian cheeses, pastas and risotto.
Enticing and enveloping, this mysterious apparition of ripe berry and relentless spice, returns to tantalize wine lovers. Emerging from the shadows with concentration and intensity, this wine will haunt you with every sip. Black pepper, juniper and cranberry spark your senses, while a rustic jamminess soothes your soul with its familiarity. Full bodied flavors of black plums and berries bewitch the palate. Touches of cedar box and spice surround the finish, as long tannins linger, languish and settle around you like a fog.
