Aging and fermentation are often done in open air, so the wine partially oxidizes giving it that distinctive orange color. Some growers go further and ferment (age) their wine in clay amphorae buried in the ground. Others use open-top barrels. All are pursuing a highly natural, anti- technological yummy wine that we can get passionate about!

  • Aoc Muscadet-Sèvre- Et-Maine Sur Lie
    Discovery AOC range AOC MUSCADET-SÈVRE- ET-MAINE SUR LIE Maison Castel demonstrates its commitment to French traditions and savoir-faire with this AOC Muscadet-Sèvre- et-Maine sur lie, a key appellation of the Loire valley. Elegant and refined with freshness and acidity, this wine is a perfect combination of typicity and modernity.” Cédric Jenin - Winemaker PRECISE QUALITY MANAGEMENT AOC Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine owes its name to two rivers, the Sèvre and the Maine, which run through the Nantes countryside and some of its best wine growing areas. The words "sur lie" on this 100% Melon de Bourgogne mean that the wine spends the winter on its lees in tank, which gives it fullness and an attractive aromatic richness. This top-quality wine from Maison Castel is the result of working with a Terra Vitis-certified partner, and a carefully managed vinification process. MAISON CASTEL KNOW-HOW The Maison Castel winemaker and his team follow the ripening process very closely to optimise the aromatic expression and minerality of the grape variety. The teams check the must following strict criteria before it arrives at the Maison Castel winery. Different terroirs are vinified in different ways to get more precise aromatic results, and the aromatic expression is enhanced via several days of Residual sugars 2g/L cold soaking, settling (carried out according to the desired result), the choice of yeast, and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature. Finally, a six-month ageing period with lees stirring (as for premium white wines) gives this wine roundness and complexity. Enjoy as an aperitif or with seafood.

  • Effects of Social Media on Enotourism. Two Cases Study: Okanagan Valley (Canada) and Somontano (Spain)
    sustainability Article Effects of Social Media on Enotourism. Two Cases Study: Okanagan Valley (Canada) and Somontano (Spain) F. J. Cristófol 1 , Gorka Zamarreño Aramendia 2,* and Jordi de-San-Eugenio-Vela 3 1 ESIC, Business & Marketing School, Market Research and Quantitative Methods Department, 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), Spain; [email protected] 2 Department of Theory and Economic History, University Malaga, 29013 Malaga, Spain 3 Communication Department, University of Vic; 08500 Vic, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-607-91-40-68 Received: 30 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the social media effects on enotourism. Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.

MONTSANT INFORMATION DOSSIER INTRODUCTION The D.O. Montsant (Designation of Origin or wine appellation), despite being a recently created wine appellation, has years of wine-making history to its name. Wine experts and press consider it to be an up and coming region and prestigious magazines such as “The Wine Spectator” have declared it to be “a great discovery”. The quality of Montsant wines is key to their success, as too is their great value for money. The prestigious Spanish wine guide, “Guia Peñin” agrees that “the quality of Montsant wines and their great prices make this region an excellent alternative.” In the United States, “Wine & Spirits” magazine have stated that “Montsant should be watched with interest”. Montsant wines appear in some of the most prestigious wine rankings in the World and they always tend to be the best priced amongst their rivals at the top of the list. The professionals and wineries behind the DO Montsant label are very enthusiastic. Many wineries are co-operatives with important social bases and the winemakers who make Montsant wines are often under 40 years old. We at the DO Montsant believe that youth, coupled with a solid wine-making tradition is synonymous of future, new ideas and risk-taking. To conclude, this is the DO Montsant today: a young wine appellation with a promising future ahead of it. 1 THE REGULATORY COUNCIL The wines of the DO Montsant are governed by the Regulatory council or body.

  • FAMILLE LIEUBEAU Muscadet Cru Goulaine the ESTATE Granite Rock Was Used for Centuries to Build the Massive Fortresses That Dot the Landscape of Muscadet
    FAMILLE LIEUBEAU Muscadet Cru Goulaine THE ESTATE Granite rock was used for centuries to build the massive fortresses that dot the landscape of Muscadet. Its density and structure were rarely breached by arrow, cannonball, or the good ‘ole medieval siege. Because of its density and the fact that it is everywhere in Muscadet, its unclear why anyone would think that this was the place to plant hectares and hectares of vines. The Romans might have gotten a few things wrong in France, but they did get something right: they planted vines on this lunar rock of a landscape. Today, this area is called Muscadet and is home to over 8,000 hectares of Melon de Bourgogne. Famille Lieubeau farms over 40 hectares of vines and produces both Muscadet Sèvre et Maine and Vin de Pays from grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Regardless of the varietal, the vines are planted on rock, and in most cases, sheer cliffs of rock through which the roots have to bury for meters for any hydric source. The vines, and the wines, are fed by water that is awash in wet rock. It’s not a big shock that the wines smell and taste more like rock and minerals than fruit or flowers. Combine this with the cold Atlantic breezes and you’ve got an amazing cool climate, high cut, precise bottle of white wine. The Lieubeau family takes great care to vinify the wines according to exposition, density of granite, and harvest date. Farming for their Folle Blanche, Chardonnay and Sauvignon is certified by Terra Vitis and all of their Melon is now certified organic by Agriculture Biologique.

  • 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.

THE GLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE HAS INCREASED BY 0.8°C SINCE PRE-INDUSTRIAL TIMES. THE IMPACT CAN ALREADY BE SEEN IN CHAMPAGNE. CLIMATE CHANGE A REALITY IN THE REGION Over the past 30 years, the three key uni- versal bioclimatic indexes used to monitor Water balance local winegrowing conditions have evolved slightly down as follows: Huglin index rose from 1,565 to 1,800 Cool nights index rose from 9.8°C to 10.4°C Compared with the 30-year baseline average (1961-1990), the temperature has risen by 1.1°C ON AVERAGE. Average rainfall is still 700mm/year. Damage caused by spring frosts has slightly increased despite a drop in the number of frosty nights due to earlier bud burst. The consequences are already visible and are indeed positive for the quality of the musts: Over the past 30 years: - 1,3 g H2SO4/l total acidity Earlier harvests starting 18 days earlier + 0,7 % vol natural alcoholic strength by volume These beneficial effects may well continue if global warming is limited to a 2°C rise. However, the Champagne Region is now exploring ideas that would enable the inherent characteristics of its wines to be preserved in less optimistic climate change scenarios.
