Made from the Pecorino grape - not from Pecorino Romano cheese - though they definitely pair well together. This Pecorino from Tenute Barone di Valforte is made from grapes grown in the vineyards within the Abruzzo Pecorino D.O.C.
750 ml Low StockProducer Tasting Note
"This Pecorino wine is a classic expression of an ancient Italian variety. It's named after the Italian word for sheep — "Pecora" — that feed off these golden grapes. Aromas of wild honey, citrus and floral notes fill the nose, leading into a structured palate of light honeysuckle, pear and apricot."

Although Pinot Grigio is more common in Northern regions such as Veneto and Friuli, there is something to be said about producers growing Pinot Grigio in the South. With the right soil, proper care, and a knowledgeable (and talented) winemaker, Pinot Grigio from Puglia can be a fresh and fruity summer sip. Perfect to be served as an aperitif or complement to summer seafood dishes.

Anselmo Mendes is recognized not only for the excellence of the wines he produces but also for the surprising and consistent way he innovates. Combining the use of age-old techniques, such as fermentation on skins, with bold winemaking methods such as the fermentation of Alvarinho in oak casks, he is established in Portugal and abroad with an original design and his own identity. Anselmo Mendes wines are the result of a long, faithful connection to the land, an experimentalist and studious spirit and a philosophy of respect for the ecosystem that translates into methods of integrated production. He is widely regarded as the best producer of white wines in Portugal.

Torlesse takes its name from an early Canterbury resident, surveyor and farmer, Englishman Charles Torlesse. He gave his name to the Torlesse mountain range, which part circles the Canterbury Plains and was at one time the largest land owner and farmer in North Canterbury, and founder of the nearby town of Rangiora. Interestingly, the name Torlesse is given to the underlying bedrock from which most New Zealand soils are derived.

This is one terrific buy! Viña Mayu was established in 2005, branching off from the Elqui Valley’s first fine wine producer that started up in 1998. Mauro Olivier was one of the pioneers, planting vines for fine wine production and sourcing grapes from different vineyards in the valley. He started working in his family's vineyards at a young age and spent some time working in Pisco production (the national Chilean spirit, made from white wine). In 2000, he planted the first Carménère and Syrah vines in the valley. Five years later, in 2005, he decided it was time to embark on his own wine project, creating the Mayu label. Mayu is an ancient INCA name for the Milky Way, literally meaning "creek of stars." Mayu's Sauvignon Blanc is an intensely aromatic dry white wine with ripe gooseberry, citrus and apple fruit flavours with crisp acidity. It's best served with white fish and shellfish, and can also be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. This Sauvignon Blanc shows an opulent character, nice fruit expression, length and complexity.
