Wine from Sauternes
Filter
Sauternes region of France, just slightly South of Bordeaux, which is most recognized for producing superior sweet wines. Sauternes cultivates and produces the most famous and premium dessert wines. Grapes grown in Sauternes are mainly Semillon, but one can also find small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle, and Sauvignon Gris. Semillon allows for a full bodied structure with notes of stone fruit, honeysuckle, and beeswax in Sauternes wine, while the Sauvignon Blanc gives earthy tones to the nose and valuable acidity for freshness. Traditional wines from Sauternes are a rich deep yellow color and increases to a rich tawny when aged in the bottle. Sauternes winemakers have a particularly interesting method of producing such fantastic dessert wines, botrytis. Under ideal circumstances, the grapes will be subjected to “noble rot” where the fungus dries out the grape and naturally concentrates the grape’s sugar content. Sauternes climate of dewy early daytime effects combined with temperate and arid afternoons gives the best environment for botrytis to form. Appellation laws in Sauternes regulate the harvesting of the grapes when they reach a weight of 221 grams per liter. Sauternes carry a very high risk in production due to the longer periods on the vine, allowing fungus to form, and lengthy time in a barrel. Good vintages that rely on nothing but nature for the sweetness and flavor are extremely prestigious and often come with a higher price tag.

Trapiche Terroir Series Finca Orellana is made from 100 percent Malbec.
The history of Trapiche begins in 1883, in a small vineyard called El Trapiche, in the district of Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, where the grapes for the first fine wines were grown. With more than 130 years of experience, Trapiche has earned its place as a pioneering brand in the introduction of French vines, the production of varietal wines, the import of French oak barrels and the use of stainless steel tanks. True to its origins, today Trapiche is in a continuous quest for the latest best practices .Led by Daniel Pi, Director of Winemaking, Trapiche's winemaking team permanently strives to improve winemaking practices by exchanging experience and knowledge with winemakers from other wine producing countries such as France, the US, Australia and New Zealand.
With a deep garnet red color, this Malbec expresses aromas of red fruits such as cherries and currants, and intense balsamic notes with hints of fresh herbs. In the mouth, it is sweet and broad with a great concentration of fruit and soft, ripe tannins. It has a long, persistent and elegant finish.
Review:
El Peral may not be on the radar of many Argentine Malbec lovers. But if you take a look at Descorchados, you will realize that here we are fans of this area, a place of gentle hills, streams and trees. This vineyard was planted in 1946, and today it delivers deliciously liquefied fruit, with hints of cherries and cassis, but above all violets and blackberries in a long and deep body. Give it at least ten years in the bottle.

Filippino Elio Barbaresco San Cristoforo Riserva
Made from 100% manual harvest Nebbiolo, the wine comes from the hillsides of San Cristoforo hill in Neive enjoying a south-southwest exposure. The fruity bouquet offers subtle notes of violet and raspberries, combining with spicy hints of cinnamon, cocoa and leather. Full, enchanting and elegant taste, intense with a good body.
The best grapes are delicately pressed and the stalks are removed. The must ferments in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26°C with a maceration of 20 to 25 days. After racking, the new wine is put into 25 e 30 H Slavonian oak casks for long months. Next, it is bottled and left to age for at least an additional 24 months.
