The grapes were crushed, pressed and the juice was cold settled. The wine was all fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature to preserve the fruit aromas. After fermentation, the wine was allowed to settle in the tanks over the Winter before blending and filtration.

 

This Riesling displays wonderful characteristics of steely acidic backbone, floral elements and pear/apple notes. The full-mouth feel of this wine makes it perfect for BBQ foods and serves well as an afternoon sipping wine.

 

 

Evolucio Furmint - Hungary - $14.99


evolucio-evolucion-furmint-tokaj-hungaryEvolucio Furmint is a delightful white wine gem from the Tokaj region of Hungary, renowned for its dessert wines. In this wine the same Furmint grape is used to produce a crisp, dry refreshing white perfect for spring and summer enjoyment. If you've never tasted a dry Furmint from Hungary, this is your chance to discover a great new wine! 


Evolucio is 100% Furmint, unoaked. Aromatic and richly flavorful, this crisp white is bursting with citrus, green apples, apricots, floral and mineral notes. The palate is slightly off-dry, ripe with rich flavors of stone fruits and citrus. It is long and flavorful on the dry finish.

Enjoy Evolucio Furmint over the next 3-4 years on the porch with friends or paired with roast chicken, grilled snapper, Thai dishes, Cobb salad and goat cheese.

 

Vi Novell Celler El Masroig - Spain - $16.96

Celler Masroig Vi NovellAbout: 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.”

 

Salmon Run Coho Red - New York - $16.96
