All the grapes that go into Sola Fred are grown around the winery. Altitude ranges from 100 to 350 metres and soils are red clay and limestone. The climate is Mediterranean with continental influences. The dryness of summer, the poor fertility of the terrain, the mountainous landscape and the Mediterranean climate are all key influences.

VITICULTURE: Viticulture is traditional. All grapes are hand-harvested into small crates.

WINEMAKING: Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Wine is aged for 3 months on the lees before bottling.

TASTING NOTES: An elegant, easy to drink white with a nose of tropical fruit, white blossom and herbs. On the palate it has fresh and invigorating acidity and a roundness from the Grenache Blanc.Great on its own as an aperitif, or with light starters and fish.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Rosé - New York - $20.00

Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry RoséVinification

Made in the saignée method. A method of rosé production that involves bleeding off the juice after limited contact with the skins. Pronounced ‘sonyay’.

After this process, this red blend, consisting mostly of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger and a touch of Saperavi, goes through a cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Drink now or cellar until 2018

Alcohol: 12.8%

Casas Del Bosque Pinot Noir Reserva - Chile - $23.49

CASAS DEL BOSQUE PINOT NOIRCasas del Bosque

Pinot Noir Pequeñas Producciones

2015

Casablanca Valley

Vineyard:

All fruit was sourced from our own vineyard – located within the coolest, westernmost reaches of the Casablanca Valley. Sourced from a hillside block facing north-east, planted in 2006 on red clay soil derived from granite. Plant material is a massal selection, low in vigour and long established in Chile under the name of “Valdivieso clone.” Crop levels are an average of 3.5 tonnes per hectare (1.7 tons per acre).

Harvest:

After a dry and relatively warm growing season, harvest was carried out by hand in 12kg picking cases during the week of 20th April 2015.

Vinification:

Destemming (without crushing) and an individual berry selection before being gravity fed to a small open-top tank. A 5-day cold soak (at 5ºC/41ºF) ensued after which time the must was warmed and inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented during 6 days with temperatures peaking at 32ºC/90ºF. During fermentation the vats were hand-plunged twice daily in order to extract the ideal amount of tannin and colour. Following the completion of fermentation, the young wine was then drained to a mixture of new (35%) and second and third use (65%) French oak barrels for 18 months during which time it was racked twice: once in the spring (upon the completion of malolactic fermentation) and then once again shortly before bottling in October 2016.

After bottling the finished wine was aged for at least three months in our cellar prior to release.

Tasting Notes:

Rather deep colour for a Pinot Noir. On the nose the oak is still rather prominent, but gradually notes of ripe red and black forest fruits appear. Medium bodied, with plush mouthfeel. The elegant tannins reappear on the finish. The wine will benefit from careful ageing, or decanting after opening. Preferably serve at 12 – 14ºC.

Alcohol: 15.1%

pH: 3.55

Total Acidity: 4.95 g/L

Residual Sugar: 4.2 g/L

Volatile Acidity: 0.72 g/L

 

Bodega Cerro Chapeu Tannat de Reserva - Uruguay - $19.64

chapeu tannatIntense and deep ruby ​​red color. Harmony and balance with oak is sought, this leaves in evidence characteristic notes of the strain on the nose, black fruits such as prunes, blueberries and flowers like violets; in the mouth roundness and balanced tannins.

Ideal to serve with red meats, mature cheeses and any grill plate. Service temperature: 18 ° C

100% Tannat

13% Alcohol

Cantine Francesco Montagna Sangue Di Giuda - Italy - $16.67

SangueDiGiuda1

Sangue di Giuda translates to Blood of Judah.  This wonderful sparkling red wine is sinfully sweet!

This naturally sparkling wine has an intense crimson-red color and produced from a combination of Croatina (60%), Barbera (20%), Ughetta (10%), Uva rara (10%) (autochthonous grape varieties). It contains a very fruity fragrance that includes crushed berries, dark plums and black cherries. The wine has good acidity, which balances its sweetness.  It has a delicate, fresh, and fruity taste that is best enjoyed while the wine is young. 

Exceptional with fruit tarts, almond desserts and fine pastries.

North Pole Postal Express Box - Letters to Santa Mailbox

It's here! The Woodstock Workshop's North Pole Postal Express Mail Box. This is a direct link to Santa at the North Pole. Kids can drop off a letter to Santa up to December 18th and Santa will take time to return a letter as long as Santa knows your return address.

 

Because Santa has a special staff of elves working every night during the Holiday Season making toys for the good boys and girls of Georgia at The Gifted Ferret, the elves will make sure to have a special team of reindeer from the North pole pick up Santa's mail nightly and deliver it to Santa.

 

Be sure to write Santa early so he can write you back before his Big Night, but remember to put your return address on the envelope! No postage is required because the Santa gets his mail sent directly from his reindeer team. Make sure Santa knows what you want for Christmas.
