2006 Fairview La Beryl, a traditional handcrafted straw wine, personifies the quintessence of grape. The grapes were carefully hand harvested into small baskets and transferred to an old barn where they were delicately laid out on beds of straw to desiccate. Eventually the bunches lost about 75% of their volume, intensifying flavour and sweetness. The grapes were gently pressed and the juice fermented in French oak barrels. La Beryl is fragrant, succulent and crisp, a sumptuous dessert wine of balance and finesse. I am proud to honour my late mother with this wine. Harvest Date: February 2005 Oenological Treatment: Chenin Blanc and Semillon were harvested at 22 balling. The harvesting was done extremely carefully so not to damage any fruit. Picked into small lug boxes, and transported to a well ventilated shed to where they were carefully laid out on racks lined with straw to dry. It takes about 4 weeks for the grapes to dry out to a raisiny state. They are then pressed and allowed to ferment naturally. The fermentation can last up to 4 - 6 months, in old French Oak barrels. Winemakers Tasting Notes: This is a very special wine with enormous poise and concentration. The blend is approximately 50% Chenin Blanc and 50% Semillon. The wine has an abnormally high volatile acidity of 1.16 g/l. For a normal dry white or red wine this would be totally unacceptable, but a higher level is necessary in a straw wine, and adds another level of complexity. Colour: Warm golden straw. Aroma: Ripe creamy peach and apricot aromas. Vanilla humbugs (a traditional English candy) with subtle white flower and wild honey hints. Palate: Good balance and a full mouthfeel. Long finish, with intense ripe stone fruit flavours. Cellaring: The wine drinks well right now and will age for many years. Wine Analysis: Alcohol 11.68% Total Acidity 9.3g/l Residual Sugar 194.7 g/l pH 3.36 Imported by Vineyard Brands Vineyard Brands Selections www.vineyardbrands.com FVW167.

For the sake of this wine list, our natural wines are wines that are grown or produced by winemakers implementing organic & biodynamic practices, mostly unfined & unfiltered, and the least amount of sulfur added at the end of bottling, or no sulfur added at all. These wines are complex and interesting much like our food and greatly complement our menu. These wines are alive, have character and evolve very quickly over time in the glass. They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter.

Now talking about wines, the Wine and sprit association of the Great Britain has sponsored the following definition of Wine ―Wine is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of the juice of freshly gathered grapes. Fermentation is conducted in the district of origin according to local customs and traditions. To bear the name Wine, the product must come only from grapes. If made from other fruits; the fruit name must be put before the tern Wine eg. Blackberry Wine, Apricot Wine, Fig Wine. Only a small part of the world is Wine producing. This is because the grape will only provide juice of the quality required for conversion into consumable Wine where two climatic conditions prevail. 1. Sufficient sun-shine to ripen the grape 2. Winters that are moderate yet sufficiently cool to give the Wine a chance to rest and restore its strength for the growing and fruiting season.

Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry Impress at This Year’S International Wine Challenge Awards
Weird & Wonderful: Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry impress at this year’s International Wine Challenge Awards The International Wine Challenge (IWC) Awards 2019, announced in London last night (July 9), celebrated some of the less well-known styles of wine. Winemakers and experts from some of the most famous wineries and regions across the planet were on hand to fete the success of Furmint, Madeira and sherry, amongst others. Of the five overall wine winners (sweet, fortified, sparkling, red and white), three of them are rare and quirky wines: Tenuta Di Capezzana Vinsanto Riserva 2011 which won the Alois Kracher Trophy for Champion Sweet Wine 2019 is an exceptional dessert wine made using traditional methods where the grapes are carefully selected and dried on mats for several months before being fermented and then aged for five years in wooden casks giving a rich, complex and intense wine with notes of candied orange peel and dried apricots. The winner of the Manuel Lozano Trophy for Champion Fortified Wine 2019 was Justino's Madeira Terrantez 1978 produced from grapes grown on volcanic soils on tiny terraces called ‘poios’. The Madeira impressed judges with a complex nose with walnut and hazelnut aromas and dried fruit on the palate and a beautifully long and concentrated finish. The winner of the IWC Champion White Wine 2019 was a ‘lean, delicate and precise’ Austrian Riesling from Weingut Birgit Eichinger. The winning wine, ‘Riesling Ried Zöbinger Gaisberg Erste Lage Kamptal 2017,’ was a powerful wine with great tension and balance with zesty lemon, honeyed apples, pear skin and white pepper and was dubbed by the judges as being ‘full of subtle pleasure.’ The winner of the ‘IWC Champion of Champions 2019’, awarded to the most outstanding wine of its style from the line-up of Champions, was not a Grand Cru or a vintage sparkling, but one of the world’s rarest Sherries, Tio Pepe Cuatro Palmas Amontillado by González Byass, an extremely rare 40-year-old Sherry drawn in tiny quantities from six casks known as ‘Museo Solera’.

Straw Wine 2003
STRAW WINE 2003 INTRODUCTION This wine has been made using a centuries-old process of drying grapes on straw in order to produce dessert style wines. Grapes are harvested at the same ripeness required to make table wine and are then laid out on straw for a number of weeks. This allows the grapes to slowly dehydrate, concentrating their natural sugar, acid and flavour. The straw also acts as a wick for any excess moisture, ensuring the grapes do not rot. After gently pressing the dehydrated grapes the concentrated juice is slowly fermented and aged in old oak barrels to create a balanced luscious dessert wine. VINTAGE The 2003 vintage was one of the standout vintages of the decade from both a quantity and quality point of view. Following a normal Winter and cool Spring with little rainfall, the vintage was generally temperate and dry with late rains and cooler conditions at the end of vintage, relieving the water starved vines. Small berries, great natural acidity and fruit concentration on top of a large crop make the 2003 wines exceptional.
