Villa Sandi We have long established relationships with many of our suppliers, many of whom are smaller, family owned and quality led. The Villa Sandi estate Vigna La Rivetta lies in the heart of the 1068 hectares of the Cartizze area, between the hamlets of Santo Stefano and San Pietro di Barbozza, in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. A sparkling jewel protected by the hills of the Marca Trevigiana, Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622, and it is also the main office of the company. The Villa rises from a fertile countryside in which fields and farms, nowadays as well as in the past, pay homage to the local history. A vibrant stage in which nature and architecture live in total harmony together; place of delight and headquarters, the complex of Villa Sandi is an enchanting estate where man and environment are in perfect symbiosis. The entrance is an elegant alley sided by statues of the popular Venetian sculptor Orazio Marinali, whose works decorate also the gable and the backyard. The Villa, cultural heritage of the Trevisan land, is situated between the D.O.C.G. area of the Prosécco of Valdobbiadene and the D.O.C. area of the Montello and Piave wines. 2 Prosecco Prosecco continues to dominate the sparkling wine market and shows no sign of wavering. We have searched tirelessly to find a producer we are happy to work with and showcase at Raithwaite Hall and are delighted to be able to share these wines with you. Bin 100ml Bottle 1.

Now converted into a winery, the Manor House is a magnificient example of those ancestral Galician houses (XVI century) built in the countryside with all the charm and history of days gone by. The Pazo and the winery owned originally by husband and wife team Marisol Bueno and Javier Mareque but now in the hands of their four sons and daughters, Marisol, Vicky, Javier and Santiago, began its wine-producing career in 1989, although the estate had been growing wine grapes previously. The origin of the name Pazo de Señoráns is unknown - whether it was the locality that gave the Pazo its name or the Pazo that gave its name to the site is a mystery! 4 Albariño Albariño is a grape variety from the Northern end of the Iberian Peninsula, more specifically the Riás Baixas region in Spain. The area is often known as ‘Green Spain’ as they have much rainfall compared to the rest of Spain and it looks similar to parts of the UK. They do however have about 2000 hours of sunshine each year which makes it a perfect wine growing area producing plump white wines with peach, citrus and mineral characters that pair perfectly with the local seafood. The variety is high in acidity, and can be produced as a light white wine or in a fuller style, with oak or lees ageing adding to the texture and richness. A marine characteristic from the nearby Atlantic Ocean is often discernible, sometimes manifesting itself as a slight salinity, which makes Albariño a perfect food wine.

The Domaine and vineyards are located in the historic heart of the vineyards traditionally defined by the Cistercian monks. The highly developed root system of vines from Testut Domaine a draw deep mineral and iodine richness from the soil, which has led to the great reputation of this Chablis wine. 6 Chardonnay Chardonnay is arguably the ‘King of White Wine Grapes’ and one of the most widely planted across the world as it is suited to a wide variety of soils & climates. It excels in terroir with high limestone content as found in Champagne & Chablis. Burgundy remains its spiritual home, unquestionably producing some of the finest dry white wines in the world, though the New World is making major ‘in-roads’ and closing the gap each year. The popularity of Chardonnay has once again rocketed and this is because we understand the many styles it is available in from the steely dry Chablis to the rich buttery oaked Chardonnays from the New World.

The name derives from Gavi, the ‘comune’ at the centre of its production zone, and Cortese, the local variety of grape from which it is exclusively made and whose existence is reported from the 17th century. The current style of production dates to 1876. Cortese di Gavi made from vines within the comune of Gavi may be labelled Gavi di Gavi. Gavi is distinguished by its crisp, floral, peachy, aromatic qualities. Bin Vintage 175ml 250ml Bottle 18. Gavi I Risi, Mario Giribaldi, Piemonte, Italy 2016 - - 42.00 19.

Established in 1957 by the growers of the villages of Pfaffenheim and Gueberschwir, this is one of the top co-operatives in Alsace. There is a very focused and environmentally friendly vineyard regime, all grapes are hand-picked and a great deal of investment has gone into the winery. 10 Gewürztraminer Gewürztraminer is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white wines, and performs best in cooler climates. It is a variety with a pink to red skin colour, which makes it a white wine grape as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties commonly referred to as red wine grapes. The variety has high natural sugar and the wines are white and usually off-dry, with a flamboyant bouquet of lychees. Indeed, Gewürztraminer and lychees share the same aroma compounds. Dry Gewürztraminers may also have aromas of rosés, passion fruit and floral notes. It is not uncommon to notice some spritz (fine bubbles on the inside of the glass). A perfect partner to food with a touch of spice. Bin Vintage 175ml 250ml Bottle 20.

As Austria battles its way back to stardom on the international wine market, crisp, spicy Grüner Veltliner has been its flagship wine. The finest expressions of Austrian Grüner come from vineyards above the Danube River, in Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal. Classic Grüner Veltliner wines show citrus aromas of lemon peel and grapefruit complemented by fresh vegetal notes and the variety’s trademark hint of white pepper.

  • Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
    Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

  • Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine
    Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine Winemakers: Bodegas Iranzo Appellation: D.O. Utiel Requena (Valencia) Location: Valencia Varietal(s): 50% Tempranillo 50% Cabernet Sauvignon Ageing: No oak ageing - Best when consumed young. Analytical Data: Alc. 14.5.% by Vol. · Res. Sugar 1.44 g/l · Acidity: 5.11 g/l Serve at: 59º F-63º F UPC: 1-85554 00054-3 Vineyard: All of the production is obtained from the Estate FINCA CAÑADA HONDA. The production area includes lime soils which are ideal for obtaining colorful wines. Also the sand textures of these lime soils benefit the ripening of the grapes. The vineyard is situated 800 – 850 meters above sea level with an N / SE orientation resulting in maximum sunlight exposure. Vinification: The wine making process without the use of sulfur means that the hygienic conditions have to been extreme during harvest season. The grapes are harvested solely by hand in small crates. Every effort is made to avoid breakage and bacteria attacks. The wine deposits are filled very briefly so as not to delay the delicate fermentation process. All elements that come in contact with this no sulfite added wine are subject to the most extreme hygienically conditions. Terroir: Mix of sandy and clay soils, with the presence of stones. Training system: The vines are guided by the Gullot doble system, although the vines are not held. This system enhances the airing of the vines, avoids the emergence of cliptogamic diseases. Also, a shading cover of the vegetation avoids the direct impact of the sun on the vines. Tasting Notes: Aromas of strawberry, stewed plum, vanilla custard, and baking spice with a bright, dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, medium-long , prune, and bittersweet chocolate finish with well-integrated tannins.

  • Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
    Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape.

Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties.

  • La Historia Del Vino, Ligada Al Condado De Huelva, La
    LA HISTORIA DEL VINO, LIGADA AL CONDADO DE HUELVA, LA CULTURA DE LA VID. Por la afinidad existente entre la vid y el hombre, ningún cultivo ha sellado con tan acusada personalidad a las tierras que le fueron propias, a los hombres y mujeres que a ella se entregaron, como el cultivo de la vid. Pintura mural egipcia del siglo XV ac, tumba de Nakht, Tebas La vid portadora de uvas, vitis vinífera, tiene un origen local impreciso, se atribuye al Cáucaso Meridional, entre Turquía, Armenia e Irán. En cualquier caso está científicamente demostrada la presencia de plantas cercanas al género botánico VITIS, como antepasadas de las actuales viníferas, en el occidente europeo durante el periodo micénico en la Era Terciaria, bajo la forma praevinífera; de ella, en el transcurso de los siglos, han ido evolucionando las distintas variedades afincadas en las diferentes zonas vitícolas. La historia de la viña se encuentra así, desde la más remota antigüedad, ligada a la de la mitología oriental. El dato más vetusto de que disponemos para pensar en el cultivo de la vid, en nuestra provincia, se remonta hacia los finales del tercer milenio en Mazagón, concretamente en "la laguna de Las Madres". Ello según los estudios realizados por expertos paleobotánicos, sobre la base de la gran concentración de polen detectada. Es a partir de estos estudios y dado el desacuerdo existente entre los investigadores sobre la introducción de la vitis vinífera en nuestra provincia, cuando deberíamos plantearnos el origen de nuestra viticultura, enlazando con la presencia fenicia donde se posee una mayor información.

    1st October 2017 - 30th September 2018 www.joh.cam.ac.uk ALL PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF VAT AT THE PREVAILING RATE Sometimes your choice of wine might not be available. If not, please accept our apologies and we will suggest an alternative. We will also endeavour to supply the vintage indicated, however, if this changes, we will inform you. We will provide the updated vintage on our list. WELCOME Welcome to the new St John’s College Wine List for 2017/18. The wines have been chosen for their individual style and quality. The Catering Team here at St John’s College tasted many of the new wines for the list in March 2017, to make sure they fall within our quality expectations. Some of the wines have been tasted against some of the menu items that feature in the new set of banqueting menus. We also believe that these wines give real value for money. We have also held a few wine tastings with the students of the College, which is always important, as they then know the wines when selecting for their functions. In February 2017 we hosted a wine suppliers’ lunch to discuss new wines, regions, vintages, the wine trade in general and new wines for the list. Many of the suppliers have given us great help and support throughout the year. I visited some vineyards in Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Bordeaux, Rioja and Alsace in the last year. This year we have added a little Bordeaux section to the wine list. Please try some of the more unusual wines, they are good quality and very well made.

  • Wines by the Glass —
    The Town Company menus draw from a range of historic and cultural inspirations that have come to shape the Kansas City experience as we know it today. This includes a commitment to local ingredients and handmade items from our very own KC makers. The wine program is a continuation of that path, with a focus on indigenous varietals, complimented by exemplary expressions of those grapes from around the winemaking world. It is a reflection on the importance of agriculture and how farmers, vineyards and winemaking traditions have come to shape the way we learn about and enjoy wine. The bottle selections are listed according to body style. As you descend through each section, the gradients will guide you in correlation to the weight of the wine. Here at The Town Company, we believe the dining experience is enhanced by a natural progression of temperatures, textures and colors. We encourage you to explore new sensations while also staying true to what you enjoy. - All wines come from organic, biodynamic and or/sustainable farming practices. - - All wines are produced from hand picked grapes. - - All wines are produced with minimal intervention. - - All wines use indigenous yeasts. - WINES BY THE GLASS — CHARDONNAY Domaine des Terres Dorées, Charme, Crémant de Bourgogne, Beaujolais, France 16 16 LAMBRUSCO DI SORBARA Famiglia Carafoli, L’Onesta, Emilia-Romagna, Italy NV 12 RIESLING Teutonic Wine Co, Pear Blossom Vineyard, Columbia Gorge, Oregon 19 14 MACABEU Rexach Baques, La Mina, Penedès, Spain 18 15 BIANCHETTA GENOVESE Enoteca Bisson, Ü Pastine, Liguria, Italy 18 16 CHENIN BLANC Broc Cellars, Frei Vineyard, Solano County, California 17 13 PAÏS Tinto de Rulo, Pipeño, Bio-Bio Valley, Chile 19 13 GARNACHA Bodega Nietos de Sra.
