About: The winemaker Carles Escolar, is young and dynamic and strongly believes in the potential of the Montsant appellation; consequently, his aim is to produce top wines from Montsant and raise the quality benchmark for the area. Vi Novell means “New Wine” in Catalan. This wine is traditionally released on November 11 to celebrate ‘San Marti’ or Saint Martin. In the 4th Century, San Marti was a soldier and on a snowy and cold night he gave half of his cloak to a beggar to save him from the cold. The following night he had a vision of Christ wearing the half of the cloak he had given away to the beggar. Christ then told the angels who accompanied him that it was “Saint Martin the non baptized soldier who clothed him.” After this vision San Marti became a Christian and created the first monastery in Western Europe (Loire region of France) and became a monk. Vi Novell is a blend of Grenache (55%) and Carignan (40%) with (5%) Syrah produced with carbonic and traditional fermentation over five days and pressed. It is made using indigenous yeast. The alcoholic fermentation was finished off without the skins in underground tanks. It is vinified and bottled almost immediately to be released on the 11th of November every year. Varietal: Grenache and Carignan blended with Syrah from 16-26 year old vines. Alcohol: 14.5% Tasting Notes: Light ruby in color leads to a nose of fresh strawberries and raspberries with notes of violets and bananas; earthy with typical Mediterranean aromas. Fresh and fruity on the palate with hints of cacao and bold tannins, finishes light and well balance with good fruit and acidity. Food Pairings: St. Martin’s Day in Spain is marked by the slaughter of fattened pigs, so think pork! Grilled meats, bacon wrapped chicken (bacon wrapped anything really), or dishes with “the other white meat.”

We highly encourage you to spurge and try a Coconut Grand Truffle with this wine!
The “OH MY GOSH” champagne, because that is typically people’s first reaction after tasting it.
Naturally fermented, with pure almond flavor added. A unique sparkling wine that is appreciated by Champagne lovers. Yet, those who do not normally like Champagne find the Almond Champagne accessible and enjoyable. In short, the experts like it, and Champagne novices are surprised by it.
Pairs well with mild creamy cheeses such as Brie and apricot shilton cheese. serve with light chicken, pork or seafood dishes. Great with desserts such as cheesecake, fruit tarts, and truffles. Goes wonderfully with brunch foods such as fresh fruit, crepes, and soufflés.
Many have also enjoyed the Almond Champagne with hot tubs, romantic dinners, picnics, and warm fireplaces.
Varietal composition: French Columbard, Estate Chardonnay
Aging: Drink now. Good up to 5 years

Bonus Taste:
Original Christkindlmarkt mulled wine from GERSTACKER...
...when you want it cosy!
The cradle of our mulled wine was at the Nuremberg Christkindl- markt. The famous market is visited every year by millions of people, and they never fail to be captivated by the glittering market stalls as they sample gingerbread, grilled Nuremberg sausages and our delicious hot mulled wine.
Its well-balanced blend of natural spices, which include blueberries, aniseed, cardamom, mace petals, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, orange and lemon peel, pimento and much more has made it the most popular mulled wine in Germany. We only use strong, dark red wine from the Montepulciano grape from Italy. Nuremberg mulled wine is under EU protection as a product of particular quality and excellence, which can only be manufactured in Nuremberg.
