2017 Pewsey Vale Contours On Sale for $32 | Eden Valley / South Australia 100% Riesling Sourced from a single vineyard composed of 47-year-old vines, Pewsey Vale’s Contours is aged for 5 years in bottle prior to release. The wine was fermented in stainless steel using only indigenous yeast. |
2012 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Côte de Lechet 1er Cru On Sale for $70 | Chablis / France 100% Chardonnay 45-year-old vines inform this mineral driven Chablis. The Defaix family is an outlier in Chablis, fermenting with native yeast and holding their wines in tank for 8 – 10 years prior to bottling. The result is a surprisingly fresh but endlessly complex Chardonnay. |
2016 Marchand Tawse Villages On Sale for $64 | Vosne-Romanée / Côte de Nuits / France 100% Pinot Noir Compiled from four separate single vineyards, Marchand Tawse produces a classic Vosne-Romanee. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels of which 30% were new. |
2014 Quinault L’Enclos Grand Vin On Sale for $45 | Saint-Emilion / Bordeaux / France 69% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon Located near the village of Libourne, Quinault L’Enclos enjoys a warmer microclimate than many of the other growers in Saint Emilion. The wine is aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels. |
2015 Scavino Bric del Fiasc On Sale for $75 | Castiglione Falletto / Barolo / Italy 100% Nebbiolo The single vineyard Bric del Fiasc has been bottled since 1978, at a time when the idea of site-specific Barolo was relatively new. The 2015 is just becoming accessible and should age gracefully for 10 or more years. |
2016 Simian Jocundaz On Sale for $22 | Massif d’Uchaux / Southern Rhône Valley / France 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah Located north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Massif d’Uchaux appellation is known for its sturdy red wines based on Grenache.
