  • SOLAR 6 GRENACHE ROSÉ IGP Cévennes
    SOLAR 6 GRENACHE ROSÉ IGP Cévennes Act for planet Winemaker’s note Solar 6 is a wine from organic farming certified "AB" and "Bee Friendly", a label that aims to protect bees and pollinators. In an alarming context of the increasing disappearance of pollinators, beekeepers have initiated the creation of the European "Bee Friendly" label in order to identify agricultural practices that respect the preservation of bees. The name of this range of round and fruity wines, Solar 6, pays homage to the solar terroirs of the South of France where these wines are made. It also evokes the first flight of recognition of bees, the "fireworks sun", and the symbolic number of these pollinators, 6. Winegrower’s note The plots of Solar 6 benefit from a beautiful sunshine and a terroir made of rolled pebbles which gives the grapes a wide aromatic palette. After sorting the harvest and pressing under gas, the grapes are lightly macerated during the pre-fermentation phase before being placed on fine lees in the post-fermentation phase and put into thermo-regulated vats. Tasting notes Grape varieties Endowed with a clear robe with garnet reflections, Grenache this grenache rosé has a charming nose with aromas of red fruits, blackcurrant, strawberry, basket of fruit, with a beautiful freshness. This is followed by a Cévennes supple attack on the palate, with an ample, round and suave mouth. Fresh and fruity, this cuvée of Grenache rosé offers intense floral notes and mouth- watering aromas of red fruits. Narbonne Solar 6 Grenache is a rosé characteristic of the hillsides on stony and warm terroirs.

  • The Judge & Stag's Leap Is Back Again…
    Oberndorfer Str. 2 · D-78628 Rottweil The Judge & Tel. 0741 / 1 72 06 · Fax 0741 / 1 72 07 [email protected] Stag’s Leap is back again… www.bacchus-vinothek.com Aktualisiert am 04.06.2016 …und hat es schon wieder getan. Anlässlich des 40. Jahrestages der legendären Verkostung (siehe unten) in Paris, als Stag’s Leap SLV die großen Namen aus Frankreich auf die Plätze verwies, legten britische Weinkritiker um den Master of Wine Richard Bampfield das Thema nochmals neu auf. Es wurde wieder blind verkostet: Bordeaux: 2001 Haut-Brion, 2001 Montrose, 2001 Mouton-Rothschild, 2001 Léoville-Las-Cases Kalifornien: 2005 Ridge Vineyards, Monte Bello, 2005 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars - SLV, 2001 Clos du Val, 2005 Heitz Wine Cellars - Martha's Vineyard, 2002 Mount Veeder - Mayacamas Vineyards, 2001 Freemark Abbey. Das Ergebnis? Platz 1 bei den Rotweinen : 2005 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars – SLV Vor Haut Brion, Mouton oder Las Cases (siehe unten). Natürlich sollten Sie die Möglichkeit haben, einen solchen Kalifornier, der sich in einer Blindprobe vor die 1er Cru Classé schiebt, auch zu erwerben. Es gibt weltweit nur noch vereinzelt Flaschen. Aber Dank meinem Besuch 2011 auf dem Weingut und dem ausgezeichneten Kontakt seit jener Zeit, konnte ich mir die letzten 180 Flaschen des Weinguts sichern, die das Weingut bereit war, an mich abzugeben. Nur noch einige Kisten für spätere Proben wurden zurückbehalten. Mittlerweile hat Stag’s Leap Anfragen aus aller Welt wegen dem 2005er. Aber keinen Wein mehr. Den hat sich der Grimm mal wieder für seine Kunden gesichert. Import läuft. Allerdings hat Stag’s Leap einen Mindestpreis im Internet verlangt.

  • And Cabernet Franc Is the Star
    CAN WE BE FRANC? THE HUDSON VALLEY PREPARES FOR ITS CLOSE-UP —AND CABERNET FRANC IS THE STAR. Amy Zavatto he verdant, hilly climes of the Hudson Valley are known and praised for many things. The beauty of its rolling, roiling namesake river; its famed mid-nineteenth century naturalist art movement; its acres of multi-generational fruit orchards and dairy farms; T and, lately, as the celebrated place of culinary inspiration for chefs like Dan Barber and Zak Palaccio. But while these lands, just ninety minutes shy of New York City’s northern border, can claim the country’s oldest, continually operating vineyards and oldest declared winery, the cult of wine has yet to become the calling card of the region’s lore and allure. That might be about to change. 4 HUDSON VALLEY WINE • Summer 2016 Cabernet Franc, that beautiful, black French grape variety well known for its role in both legendary Right Bank Bordeaux and Loire Valley wines, is proving to be oh-so much more than a liquidy lark here. Not only does the grape seem well at home in the Hudson Valley’s cool-climate terroir, but collective work done between the area’s grape growers, winemakers, and Cornell University have tamed many of the conundrums that once plagued producers who yearned for success with vinifera. Now, with a force borne of a few decades of trial, error, and recent promising success, Hudson Valley vintners are ready (and more than able) to stick a flag in the ground for Franc. DIGGING DOWN “I’m of Dutch-German descent; I’m not big on failure,” laughs a region express itself with the kind of purity that wins critical Doug Glorie, who with his wife and partner, MaryEllen, opened acknowledgment.

  • Review of Smoke Taint in Wine: Smokederived Volatile Phenols And
    Krstic et al. Review of smoke taint in wine 537 Review of smoke taint in wine: smoke-derived volatile phenols and their glycosidic metabolites in grapes and vines as biomarkers for smoke exposure and their role in the sensory perception of smoke taint M.P. KRSTIC1, D.L. JOHNSON2 and M.J. HERDERICH2 1 The Australian Wine Research Institute,Victorian Node, Mooroolbark, Vic. 3138, Australia; 2 The Australian Wine Research Institute, Urrbrae, SA 5064, Australia Corresponding author: Dr Mark Krstic, email [email protected] Abstract In recent years, the exposure of vineyards and grapes to smoke from bushfires and controlled burn events has in some instances resulted in wines described as smoke tainted. Such wines are characterised by undesirable sensory characters described as smoky, burnt, ash, smoky bacon, medicinal and ashtray. This review summarises the knowledge about the composition of smoke from forest and grass fires, describes relationships between smoke exposure of vineyards and smoke taint in wine, and outlines strategies for managing and reducing the risk to producing smoke-affected wines. The sensitivity of grapes and vines at different phenological stages to the uptake of contaminants from smoke, especially smoke-derived volatile phenols, is outlined, and the pathways for entry and metabolic transformation of volatile phenols are discussed. The potential for translocation of phenolic contaminants within the grapevine and the differences in uptake of smoke contaminants of different grape cultivars are also discussed, along with preliminary work on dose/response relationships regarding concentration and duration of exposure and subsequent expression of smoke taint in wine. The chemical basis of smoke taint in wine is described, and the relationship between volatile phenols from combustion of wood/lignin and their glycosides, and sensory panel ratings of smoke attributes in affected wines is discussed.

  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

  • 2014 Capitel Nicalo'
    2014 CAPITEL NICALO’ Valpolicella DOC Superiore This wine is made from red grape varieties grown on the Moraine Hills in the heart of Valpolicella. This wine is made in a traditional Veronese manner: raisin-drying of the grapes. 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella. The effect is partial dehydration: the grapes, placed in crates for about one month, lose about 8-10 % of their weight. This water loss naturally enriches the sugar contents of the grapes, their dry extract, and the colour of the wine. Pre-fermentation aromas are formed during drying. These subsequently blend with fermentation aromas and, above all, with tertiary aromas coming from aging the wine in wooden barrels. Vineyard Notes: Soil: moraine clay and limestone. Vine density: 5500 vines per hectare. Vineyard age: 20 years. Cultivation: Guyot. Pruning: 12 buds/plant. Production: 9000 kg/hectare. Winemaking Technique: Grape harvest: end of September, beginning of October. Grapes drying in fruit storage structure: 1 month. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration: 14 days/temperature 28° C. Malolactic fermentation Ageing: in Slavonian oak barrel for 1/1,5 years. Bottling and bottle ageing: 6 months. Description Of The Wine: Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Bouquet: intense and elegant: fruit aroma (currants, black cherries) with the vanilla and tobacco of Slavonian oak. Flavor: good body, good structure, lively acidity and alcohol content well balanced with tannins. The after taste confirms the notes in the bouquet. A complex and elegant wine. Suited for ageing: 7/10 years. Combinations: Can be enjoyed throughout the meal, from pasta to cheeses.
