Wines

Vintage

2020

Region

Terra Alta, Spain

Grapes

100% Grenache Blanc

Tasting notes

Pale yellow color with peach tea and lime leaves on the nose. Some yellow melon and white flower notes lead into the lime popsicle and apricot palate swirling with flavors of raw honey, lemon Italian Ice and crushed salty seashells.

Pairs with

Sushi, fried cod, cheese and salami pizza

Interesting fact

This particular wine is left to rest for 3 to 4 months after fermentation. This time spent resting on lees will help the wine develop texture and richness and add a sort of backbone to the palate.

Vintage

2020

Region

Bizkaiko Txakolina, Spain

Grapes

85% Hondarrabi Zuri, 11% hondarrabi zuri zerratia, 4% Munemahatsa

Tasting notes

Txakolina wines are a real unique treat. Straw color with an intense green iridescence, the nose is granny smith apple, white peach and asian pear and a certain herbaceous character like green guava candy and fresh cut grass. The palate is bright and tart and bursting with those same fruit salad notes on the aroma coming together with a fresh and cheerful finish.

Pairs with

Fresh seafood, shrimp cocktail, fresh spinach salad with goat cheese

Interesting fact

Bixkaiko Txakolina is one of only three recognized areas for Txakoli (a Basque word, pronounced choc-o-lee, meaning "wine made from a village")

Vintage

2020

Region

Languedoc, France

Grapes

Sauvignon 50%, Colombard 50%

Tasting notes

Slightly acidic, flush with fruit and soft on the palate - the trifecta for a “little white French sipper.” Chamomile and yellow apple flavors dominate before petite white flowers and a touch of crisp acid wrap it up.

Pairs with

Pasta with light olive oil, roasted vegetables, charcuterie boards

Interesting fact

The Donjon wine family waters a portion of their vines thanks to an old agreement document signed between a village and the family patriarch. In exchange for fixing a dam washed away by a flood, they were to receive water for their vines til the end of time. The dam was repaired in 3 days and lasted for centuries.
