Spain Navarra has been known for a long time for producing delicate while cheerful rose wines, mostly made from Grenache grapes, or its original name, Garnacha. In fact it is common in Northern Spain to go to a bar and just ask a Navarran wine, and automatically get served a glass of rose. Perhaps the main characteristic of Navarran roses is its deep, almost red, dark pink colour. This wine is not different and you will find a delicate aroma of white and blue flowers. Castillo de Eneriz has been making great wines for a long time, and although their strength are red wines, you will not be disappointed by this rose. The palate is fresh, and aromatic, perhaps a bit thin, but easy to drink. Have it on its own or with salads, white fish or chicken. 8POIN8 TS 8 Ch. Cavalier Marafince 2018, Provence. France Château Cavalier is an estate dedicated exclusively to the production of rosé in the heart of Provence on 132 hectares of contiguous vineyards in the foothills of the Massif des Maures in Vidauban, in the Var.

ΛΙΣΤΑ ΚΡΑΣΙΩΝ “It doesn't really matter what you will choose to drink with your food as long as you do what you feel you like. However, never forget that food and wine matching can always be a serendipitous discovery. This wine list has been designed as the start of a conversation, a way to connect people, moments and beautiful souls.

Liquid Geography This is a rosé from Rioja that hasn’t quite reached the US yet, but will be by Meagan Drillinger | June 12, 2020 launching here in just a few months. “It’s a delicious Garnacha-based rosé,” said Myers. “The best part is that Ole & Obrigado Imports is donating 50% of the profits to World Central Kitchen,” a charity started by Jose Andres that helps battle global hunger. “Pairing rosé is easy,” he added. “Serve it with happiness. Most rosés are uncomplicated, easy, and fun. They tend to get along with everything from fresh veggies to hearty meats. Don’t overthink it.” 2.

Rossese Riviera Ligure Di Ponente Doc
ROSSESE RIVIERA LIGURE DI PONENTE DOC WINE DESCRIPTION Rossese is a rare grape variety which is cultivated mainly in Liguria, probably originated in Greece or even in the Middle East. The most renewed Rossese is the Rossese from Dolceacqua, in the province of Imperia. A recent study showed that this grape is identical to a French variety called Tibouren. It is not yet clear if Tibouren came to Liguria from Provence first or if Rossese arrived in France from Liguria. TASTING NOTES The color is light ruby red. The bouquet on the nose if intense and elegant with notes of black cheery, small red berries and herbal sensations. On the palate it is dry with a light-medium body and delicate tannins. A lovely sip with a long aromatic fruity finish. FOOD PAIRING Ideal with typical first courses of the Genovese cuisine, such as ravioli and pasta with ragu sauce. Also with fish-fry and meat such as rabbit and veal. One of the few wines to be paired with artichockes for its low amount of tannins.

Seed Morphology Uncovers 1500 Years of Vine Agrobiodiversity
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Seed morphology uncovers 1500 years of vine agrobiodiversity before the advent of the Champagne wine Vincent Bonhomme1,7*, Jean‑Frédéric Terral1,7, Véronique Zech‑Matterne2, Sarah Ivorra1, Thierry Lacombe3, Gilles Deborde4, Philippe Kuchler5, Bertrand Limier1, Thierry Pastor1, Philippe Rollet6 & Laurent Bouby1 A crucial aspect of viticulture is fnally unveiled as the historical dynamics of its agrobiodiversity are described in the Champagne region for the frst time. Outline analyses were carried out to compare the morphology of archaeological grape seeds from Troyes and Reims (frst c. AD to ffteenth c. AD) with that of a reference collection of modern seeds, including wild vines and traditional grape varieties, believed to be ancient and characteristic of the French vine heritage. This allows us to document the chronological dynamics of the use of the wild Vitis type and of the diversity of the varieties used, based on morphological disparity. After showing the existence of morphological types corresponding to geographical groups, we highlight a geochronological dynamic. Our results show that the wild type is used throughout the series, up to the Middle Ages. In addition, domestic forms, morphologically related to southern varietal groups, are very early involved in the Champagne grape agrodiversity. The groups corresponding to the typical grape varieties of today do not appear until the second millennium. These previously unsuspected dynamics are discussed in light of the social, societal and climatic changes documented for the period. According to archaeological and archaeobiological data, six centuries separate the development of viticulture in Mediterranean France from the advent of Champagne vineyards, which are now famous worldwide.

It is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the diploma of Cape Wine Master to the Cape Wine Academy. It has not been submitted before for qualification of examination in this or any other educational organisation. Yvonne le Riche Date: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dear friend and Cape Wine Master mentor, Junel Vermeulen, for her encouragement, generous sharing of knowledge and true passion for great wine. To my husband Ewald Jooste, thank you for your endless patience with my academic pursuits. May we share many great wines together in future! Thank you to my family for infinite support and inspiration. Great appreciation goes to my fellow Cape Wine Master students and graduates who assisted and supported me during my studies. Lastly I would like to thank the viticulturists, winemakers and industry professionals who patiently and enthusiastically answered my questions and truly assisted in providing this assignment with substance. ABSTRACT Cinsaut has recently re-emerged within the South African wine industry as both a blending component and single grape varietal. This assignment summarises the historical use of Cinsaut within the South African context as well as the merits of this variety in the modern winemaking environment. Focus will fall on the characteristics of Cinsaut, for example what the variety adds to a blend, popular regions of growth as well as possible downsides.
