Producer Description
"This Prosecco Rosé Millesimato is obtained from a carefully managed winemaking process, which involves the soft pressing of the Glera and Pinot Noir grapes , followed by static decantation and fermentation at 18°C with selected yeasts for the Glera. The Pinot Noir undergoes red maceration to enrich the wine's profile. The final blend is created before the second fermentation in an autoclave, using the Charmat method, for a period of 60 days."
Val d’Oca is one of the oldest, leading producers of Prosecco. Their sparkling wines are made with the Glera grape which is cultivated (by hand) and vinified in the hills of Valdobbiadene. The famous Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG was born here, and it is now considered the benchmark for quality in the region. Val d’Oca also produces Prosecco DOC coming from lands in the province of Treviso. Rive is a sub-zone, a quality site that is demarked to distinguish certain areas for Prosecco production.

GlenAllachie 2014 KWM Puncheon #1769
$169.99
Our 2nd KWM exclusive single cask from GlenAllachie is a 2014 vintage Oloroso Sherry Puncheon, bottled after 11 years at 62%. This is a sherry bomb, with finesse, that will delight Billy Walker fans, and anyone who likes a proper sherried dram. Despite the punchy ABV it is very drinkable at natural strength.
We can probably assume this whisky was re-racked by Billy and his team at some point after they acquired the distillery from Pernod Ricard. First, the ABV, is a clue that this was put into its original cask at still strength, rather than the industry standard 63.5%, presumably to save on casks. Pernod almost certainly wasn't putting GlenAllachie into top of the line sherry cask in the mid-2010s when demand and pricing for sherry casks was high.
The Billy Walker secret sauce, typified by his time running GlenDronach, is to re rack maturing stocks into more active casks. The Outturn, 700 bottles, which is a lot from a single cask, even a puncheon which can range from 500-700 litres in size, is another clue that this was likely a finishing cask? Probably, but even if true, the reality is the whisky very likely spent more time in the Puncheon, than it would have in the casks it started out in.
Regardless, the result is an excellent GlenAllachie sherry cask, and a bottling we are thrilled to have our name on!
Terminus Meldor
$29.99
Ana & Carlos Gonzales (of Bodegas Terminus) met in high school and have been together ever since. Their only time apart was when Carlos decided to undertake his university studies in Oenology in Tarragona rather than his homeland of Rioja, while Ana studied Oenology right in Rioja. Both winemakers work for or have worked for some of the top brands you can find in Spain, but they always wanted to have a project of their own. When they found the right partners and the right vineyard sites in Rioja Alavesa, they knew that the time had come to focus their knowledge and passion on making their own wines. This is a small production Rioja full of personality that conveys care, craftsmanship and quality! A great Tempranillo from the heart of Rioja, it's a smooth, rich wine with notes of summer berries, spice and toffee. Aged for 4 months in barrel, this wine is fuller in style, with soft, yet firm tannins. Serve with hearty dishes such as beef stew, vegetarian chilli, and hearty soups.

Le Clos des Cazaux Cote du Rhone Rose
$30.99
The Le Clos des Cazaux estate has been a family property focused on viticulture for five generations since Gabriel Archimbaud, an ancestor, was one of the first to produce wines from Vacqueyras in 1947. It is now owned and operated by brothers Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. They farm 35 hectares, 20 in Vacqueyras and another 15 in Gigondas. They own mostly low-yielding hillside vineyards, fashioning high-quality white wines, rosés, and red blends.Their Gigondas vineyards are situated in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail massif range that has been in the family since the 1950s. This very special terroir benefits from the solar power of the southern slope, balanced by the cool nights at higher altitudes, mostly on clay soils. The reds are blended primarily from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. however, they include lesser-known grapes such as Aubun, Counoise, Cinsault, Muscardin and Carignan. The white wines mainly employ old-vine Clairette, complemented by Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and a little Viognier.
Exclusively ours and we're tickled pink! It's made from a blend of Cinsault, fruity Syrah and some Grenache for the structure and fat needed for Rose wines. On the nose: Scents of red fruits, candied fruit and hints of spice and flowers (grenadine, vanilla) The palate shows great freshness especially flavours of red berries. This is such a versatile food wine! Try it with mozzarella with basil, Provencal salad, fish soup, melon and prosciutto. For main courses, you can try salmon, swordfish steak, grilled pork kebabs or Penne Primavera. Cheese is simple: goat!
