Willi Schaefer Graacher Kabinett
$88.99
Willi, who was born in 1949, made his first vintage in 1971, then still with his father. During Willi’s career, the Schaefer wines achieved an international reputation. The winery, as it exists today, is also the life’s work of Martha (1924-2013) and Willibrord Schaefer (1912-1995). In the difficult post-war period, they built today’s manor and farm buildings and produced, even at that time, outstanding wines. The family's vineyards are located in Graacher Dompropst and Graacher Himmelreich, as well as in Wehlener Sonnenuhr. The plots are located on steep slate slopes and consist of up to 100-year-old, ungrafted vines. Graacher Domprobst roughly translates to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Graacher Dompropst vineyard is classified as a VDP. GROSSE LAGE vineyard, the designation for the highest quality Mosel vineyards. Due to the topography, the kingdom of heaven is protected against wind and frost. In addition, the warming of the slate soil causes uniform and complete maturity. Many water veins ensure an optimal supply of moisture for the vines. Rieslings from Graacher Domprobst are typically silky and charming, in harmony with fine fruit acidity and minerality. The scent is often characterized by citrus, yellow and white peach. In addition, the clay content in the soil gives these plants their distinctive, powerful character. Giving them time to age will reward them with even more elegance and mineral finesse.
Aveleda Fonte Vinho Verde
$18.99
Oh, yeah. Great price, great wine. A super fresh patio sipper that's made for drinking with good friends on hot days. Made from indigenous grapes local to Vinho Verde including Loureiro, Arinto, Trajadura and Fernão Pires. One of Portugal's most famous wine styles, Vinho Verde is clean and crisp, with a slight tingly effervescence. Serve chilled with seafood.
Notes From The WInery
"Aveleda Fonte White is a blend made from indigenous varieties from the Vinho Verde Wine Region. The night harvest allows the grapes to keep their freshness and, consequently, preserve their aromatic properties. When arriving at the vinification center, the grapes undergo soft pressing at low pressures. The alcoholic fermentation happens in stainless steel vats under strictly controlled temperatures to preserve the most typical aromas of the varieties. Fermentation happens in contact with lees in order to keep the freshness of the wine."
Sybille Kuntz Riesling Dry
$39.99
If you're a fan of dry Riesling, this is the wine for you! It's a serious mineral dry white wine with a punch! Brilliant white-yellow colour with straw-yellow hues. Ripe stone fruit, lychee, flint, orange peel and a touch of mint in the nose. Super juicy start with fresh ripe acids and minerals upfront; elegant texture with a lot of content but at the same time refined; long, fruity aftertaste with citrus and ripe white fruit. Top wine as an aperitif, with white meat and crustaceans, and especially with white mould cheeses and orientally seasoned green vegetable salad.
Cantina Marilina Bianco
$29.99
This distinctive white wine hails from Italy, specifically the island of Sicily, in the southeastern province of Siracusa, near the town of Pachino. Cantina Marilina was established in 2007 by Angelo Paternò, a long-time Sicilian winemaking veteran, who purchased 60 hectares of vineyards. The winery is now managed by his daughters, Marilina and Federica, who champion a minimal interventionist and organic winemaking philosophy with absolute respect for the earth.
Beautiful Sicilian blend of Viognier and Chardonnay with intense aromatics and notes of scotch broom (native shrub in the EU). Perfect paired with fish dishes and fresh salads.
Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage Blanc
$47.99
Made from 100% Marsanne, this rich and expressive white wine typically shows notes of lemon-driven citrus, pineapple, passion fruit and honeydew melon. It typically is vinified and aged in a combination of 80% stainless steel tanks and 20% used oak casks.
For 6 generations, the Jaboulet family has been producing wines in the Côtes-Du-Rhone. After nearly 30 years on the Paul Jaboulet Aine estate, where Philippe Jaboulet ran the family's vineyards, he and his son Vincent decided to leave the company to establish their own family estate, Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet. Located in the northern Rhone Valley, about one mile south of Tain l'Hermitage, the domain was founded in 2006. Philippe and Vincent retained about 13 hectares of family vineyards, including, first of all, the site "Talaber", which was renamed "Nouvelaire", which means "new era".
