Peter Wetzer Weiss
$37.99
The fact that Peter Wetzer makes any wine at all is a little astonishing. Firstly, he is located in Sopron, a small region on Hungary’s boarder with Austria. His absolutely tiny cellar (if you can even call it that) is in the basement of his family house, in a suburb; shockingly, it’s more complete than his newly obtained cellar, several stories under a house built in the 1700s that looked more like a demolition zone than a winery..His determination is bordering on insanity, but after seeing the sites he’s trying to replant, learning about the history of the town and the region, and tasting the wines, we understand how he keeps going. To fund this little project, he works a couple of days each week at a gas station – who said winemaking is glamorous?! With only a couple stainless steel tanks, a manual basket press, and some old barrels, he pushes onwards.

Jaboulet Ermitage Blanc
$94.99
Made entirely from Roussanne, this legendary vineyard has built its reputation on a single hill that it shares with Syrah plantings for the red Ermitage. Sheltered from northerly winds, this south-facing site receives good exposure to the sun while enjoying a Mediterranean climate. Roussanne is named after its ripe skin colour, a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word Roux (red-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhône Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found because it benefits from the warm temperatures and long sunlight hours it needs to achieve full maturity.
Jaboulet Ermitage Rouge
$112.99
Grown on 1.3 hectares of vineyard, this very concentrated 100% Syrah showcases what the grape and the producers are capable of. It is vinified and aged in oak barrels for two years before bottlings. Ermitage is the original spelling of the appellation, a steep hill that is home to numerous parcels, typically on terraces. This wine is sourced from 40-year-old vines in the “Les Dionnières” lieu-dit (about 1ha). It is made entirely from estate-grown grapes, like all the wines produced by the estate. It offers a basket of complex flavours that include leather, coffee, blackcurrants, vanilla and minerals. It's drinking well now and will continue to improve for another 5 years or more.
Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet are a father & son duo that also happen to be 5th and 6th generation winemakers with a focus on Northern Rhone. They set up their own vineyards in 2006 following the sale of their family negociant business Domaine Jaboulet Aine in 2006.
