SOMMELIER RECOMMENDATION Our Team of Sommeliers Are More Than Happy to Share Their Most Recent Discoveries in the World of Wines SOMMELIER RECOMMENDATION Our team of sommeliers are more than happy to share their most recent discoveries in the world of wines. BUBBLY: BLANC DE NOIRS OF THE HOUSE RATHFINNY, FIRST OF ITS KIND AND UNDISPUTED KING OF SUSSEX! Insp: Game of Thrones 2015 Rathfinny Blanc de Noir, Sussex, England Mark and Sarah Driver continue to impress the world of wine with their release of their first Blanc de Noirs. Perfumed, refined and superbly well balanced it is aromatic at first with orange zest and grapefruit aromas followed by a flinty and ripe red apple finish. Wonderful paring with our Meat Fruit. Glass (125ml) £ 20.00 Bottle (750ml) £ 119.00 WHITE - AS WONDERFUL & WELCOMING AS SOUTH AFRICA ITSELF ! 2017 Chenin Blanc - Verdelho, Momento, Western Cape, South Africa Boutique, artisanal and carefully crafted are amongst the first qualities coming to mind when thinking of Momento. The beauty of this wine not only lies in the delicacy of white peach, yellow apple & quince aromas, it’s also the textural element which is striking. A splendid partner for our Salamagundy. Glass (125ml) £ 17,50 Bottle (750ml) £ 95.00 WHITE - THE PERFECT COMBINATION ! 2014 Riesling 'Clos Liebenberg' Monopole, Valentin Zusslin, Alsace, France Tucked in the north east corner of France, Alsace's dry climate thanks to the Vosges mountain is perfectly suited to vine growing which allows it to produce wines of great precision and purity without losing charm nor excitement. Riesling thrives here to perfection in delivering the perfect combination of ripe orchid fruits with a wonderful dry savoury finish. Try with our Earl Grey Cured Salmon. Glass (125ml) £ 22.00 Bottle (750ml) £ 125.00 RED - AIN'T NO OTHER SYRAH ! 2010 Syrah, Boekenhoutskloof, Franschhoek, South Africa Not many grape varieties can so beautifully display their origin like Syrah. The perfume is here captured by Marc Kent and his team in the most fabulous way with black olives, all spice and blackberries. These are just a few of the clearly defined almost goosebump like flavours. Divine with our Lamb & Cucumber. Glass (125ml) £ 23.50 Bottle (750ml) £ 135.00 RED - A BENCHMARK OF PERFUME & FINESSE ! 2010 Volnay 1er Cru 'Santenots', Roblet-Monnot, Burgundy, France Pascal Roblet only owns 6 hectars in Volnay and with low yields & management he captures the very best of this prime commune. In kingly fashion Louis XI added the entirety of this villages production for his personal cellar in 1447. A benchmark for elegant Pinot Noir which beautifully shows primary, secondary & tertiary aromas. Splendid with our Roast Cauliflower.

    10.2.2020 EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union C 44/15 Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33. (2020/C 44/07) This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1). COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT ‘Coteaux de Saumur’ PDO-FR-A0179-AM01 Date of communication: 13 November 2019 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1. Geographical name ‘Supplementary geographical name’ has been reduced to ‘geographical name’ in Chapter I points II and XII(2)(b). A number of the product specifications for Loire Valley wines allow the use of what is known as the ‘eponymous geographical designation’ — ‘Val de Loire’ — to refer to this wider region. The use of this term on wine labels is subject to specific rules laid down in those product specifications. As the term ‘supplementary geographical name’ is also used in some cases to denote smaller geographical units with more restrictive production conditions, the word ‘supplementary’ has been removed in order to prevent confusion. Point 9 of the Single Document, ‘Further conditions’, has been amended accordingly. 2. Geographical area The passage concerning the geographical area now reads as follows: All stages of production must take place in the geographical area, which spans the territories of the following municipalities, based on the 2018

Research by Pitch Communicatie & PR Amsterdam, September 2017 2018 Millésime MONDIAL DU VIN BIOLOGIQUE WORLD ORGANIC WINE FAIR 1 29.30.31JANVIER JANUARY MONTPELLIER FRANCE PARC DES EXPOSITIONS EXHIBITION CENTRE www.millesime-bio.com Association Interprofessionnelle RÉSERVÉ AUX PROFESSIONNELS I FOR TRADE ONLY METHODOLOGY This report shows the trends, expectations and developments in the area of organic wines on the Dutch market. In order to be able to assess the image of organic wines in the Netherlands, 409 wine consumers participated in an online survey last summer. Questions ranged from the average amount of money spent to the motivation for purchasing organic wines. In addition, qualitative research was carried out among eight renowned Dutch professionals from the world of wine. They were asked how they believe the consumer perceives organic wines. Pitch PR, a Dutch wine and food marketing agency, carried out this trend research in association with Sudvinbio, the Occitanie professional association of organic wines, and organizer of Millésime Bio. In a short introduction, we look at what is already published about organic wines in the Netherlands. Then quantitative research, in association with WINELIFE Magazine, is carried out among Dutch wine consumers. This means that the questionnaires are completed by people with an above-average interest in wine, not the average Dutch wine consumer. The online survey is disseminated via LinkedIn, Facebook and various lifestyle blogs. With all analyses, the question concerns the opinion of the consumer in retail, not in the out of home industry.

  • Back to Rust Landed in Vienna
    Back to Rust This blog is about the second study block at the Austrian Wein Academy. If you want to read the story about the first block of 10 days in May send an e-mail to [email protected]. Luckily there is a result of the first exam and that has been passed with merit: Viticulture and vinification is in "the pocket". During this block there are two exams on the program: sparkling wine and fortified wine. Vienna from the air Landed in Vienna Wednesday evening I land at the airport in Vienna and I have already ordered a taxi to go to Rust. It is just over an hour's drive from the airport. Around 21:00 hours I arrive at my apartment, not too far from the Wein Academy. The stork's nest that I can see from the bathroom window is no longer inhabited. During the first block in May it was inhabited by a stork couple who occasionally rattled loudly. And it is already dark and after I have unpacked my suitcase it is time to dive back into the books to prepare the exams of ashes on Monday. Both exams are about making tasting notes of 3 wines and there are also some questions you have to answer about the wines and then there are 3 to 4 theory questions with often sub- questions that you have to write down everything you know. These are all open questions. So you need to know the material well in order to be able to answer the questions correctly.

  • 250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne
    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.

  • Wine in Netherlands
    CBI Competition: Wine in the Netherlands CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction Due to concentration in the Dutch market, large retail chains have a strong position. Combining low prices with suitable qualities for the target segment is their prime objective, especially in the low and middle price segment. Nevertheless, the growing interest of the consumer in new varieties and unknown wine countries increases the export opportunities for developing country producers. Market entry Listing fees remain high It can be very costly to buy yourself into the Dutch market due to listing fees charged by supermarkets. In addition, most Dutch supermarkets do not want to see “their” brands in other channels. Tips: If you are a new entrant, do not supply supermarkets or retailers directly; rather supply wine to importers. Importers can generally mitigate the risks of directly trading with supermarkets. Importers can also help you spread risks by supplying your wine to multiple market channels under different brands. Small companies with a supply capacity of 10 thousand to 30 thousand bottles annually of each wine can find smaller importers in the EU who prefer to buy exclusive wines for which they are the only importer and distributor. Exclusivity motivates importers to work with you. Suppliers better prepared for market entry The bargaining position of producers and importers can be further improved by developing the regional market. It can serve as a good stepping stone for entering the European market as producers/exporters usually have better knowledge of these markets, allowing them to improve their quality and services.

  • The Beverage from France That Conquered the World
    The beverage from France that conquered the world Without doubt, the history of champagne and sparkling wine is tied to France, and its origins to the northern French region of Champagne. England, however, was producing bottles strong enough to contain carbonated wines as early as the 17th century. In the interest of preserving trees, the use of wood in the process of making glass had been prohibited, and the glass resulting from the use of coal rendered dark, thick-walled bottles which naturally withstood greater internal pressure. Yet the starting point remains France, where the wine was most likely brought from and Champagne, from where it was later purposely ordered. Records remain of English-French wine trade. According to one plausible theory, the high sugar-contact wine was sealed and stored, after a noisy fermentation, in strong wooden barrels. When several years later the cork was removed, a sparkling, pleasantly-fragranced beverage was discovered. There is another legend, according to which the discovery of sparkling wine is connected with the late harvesting of the grapes. In the region near Johannesburg, a church belonging to, but located approximately 150 km from the archbishopric, had to wait for the bishop’s permission before harvesting. Riding on horseback, the messenger arrived three weeks late with the permission, but in the meantime, the grapes had over-ripened. Contrary to custom, the grapes were harvested anyway, producing a wonderful, bubbly wine-consumed as a magic elixir. It is likely that France has been storing and fermenting wine in barrels or bottles since the 16th century.
