D.O.C. Dão The D.O.C. Dão region (named after the Dão river) is one of the oldest Wine Regions of Portugal, located in central Portugal in a mountainous region ranging from 400 to 700 m above sea level. This region has its reference point at the mountain “Serra da Estrela”, the highest in mainland Portugal’s. The wines are strongly influenced by granitic soils and the forests with pines, eucalyptus and oak trees surrounding the vineyards.

BATON Wines Baton (Field blend of old vineyards) Tom de Baton (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca & Tinta Barroca) PONTE DA BARCA Winery | DOC Vinho Verde, Portugal

Ponte da Barca is a cooperative of growers with vineyards in the regions of Lima, Cavado, Ave and Sousa, within the D.O.C. Vinho Verde in Portugal. With more than 50 years of winemaking, the winery produces clean and expresive wines that reflext the tipical characteristics of their terroir. The grapes varieties grown are Alvarinho (Albariño), Loureiro, Arinto and Trajadura for whites and Vinhao, Borracal, Espadeiro for reds. The vines grow in fertile, granite soils along rivers that flow from the eastern mountains to the ocean. This cold and rainy region makes ripening more dificult but also allows for higher acidity in the grapes, making lively, crisp and refreshing young wines.

PRIORAT

Estriacus Winery is located in the comunity of Gratallops, within the DOQ Priorat. DOQ (Denominacio de Origen Qualificada) or DOCa is the highest quality classification in Spain. The region has a Mediterranean climate and enjoys several different micro-climates, with a marked contrast between the valleys and the higher areas. The Montsant Mountains protect the region from cold northern winds and allow the warm eastern Mistral winds from the Mediterranean. The north east dry wind from the center of Spain prevents pests, especially during the harvest. Summers are long and dry (max. 35°) and the average annual rainfall is 500 mm. The soil is of volcanic origin with a base of Licorella, a reddish and black slate with small particles of mica, which reflects the sunlight and conserves heat. The topsoil is about 50cm thick and formed of decomposed slate and mica. Without irrigation (dry farming), the vines are forced to dig deep underground for water, nutrients and minerals. This naturally reduces yields down to 1.1 kg per vine and confers unique characteristics to the wines.

NOSTER Inicial 70% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Complex aromas of red fruits with layers of plums and figs, beautifully integrated with chocolate and vanilla. Full bodied, complex, with persistent mature tannins. Only 50% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

N O S T E R MIQUEL PONS Winery | DO Cava, DO Penedes & DO Montsant, Spain

Miquel Pons has 250 years of winemaking heritage, with 60 hectares of vineyards around their ancient estate of Cal Montargull in the D.O. Penedès. Our philosophy is to respect the land and minimize our intervention in winemaking. We only use estate-grown grapes and local yeasts to maximize the expression of terroir. Our Cavas are disgorged naturally without freezing the neck of the bottle in order to avoid the thermal contrast and the cooling of the yeasts, preserving the natural aromas of the cava. The DO Penedès enjoys an ideal Mediterranean climate. Miquel Pons owns vineyards in both Penedès Superior (higher rainfall and a wider daily temperature range) and Marítim (milder coastal climate) subregions. Joan Miquel Canals I Bosch - Winemaker

CAMBADOS URBAN Winery | DO Rias Baixas, Spain

Cambados is a boutique urban winery created by Winemaker Antonio Galiñanes Fernández with the commitment to express the unique terroir of the Cambados subregion of D.O. Rias Baizas in Galicia, Spain. Antonio combines traditional, modern and local influences in his winemaking, handcrafting trully unique wines.

Desconcierto Albariño wine has been made exclusively from grapes of the Albariño variety and is produced in the town of Cambados. Our vineyards are situated at an altitude of 10 metres above sea level and the soil is basically composed of fine granite particles and sand. The spacing is 5 x 4 on a trellis system with a density of approximately 600 vines per hectare with an average age of not less than 25 years. The abundant rainfall typical of the Galician climate, the town’s exposure to the sea and the geographical location of our vineyards, which are very close to the shores of the Arousa Estuary, give this wine a disconcerting, strong Atlantic character.

Winery: CUW (Cambados Urban Winery) Winemaker: Antonio Galiñanes Fernández DO: Rías Baixas Grapes: Albariño 100% Production: 4000 bottles Oak aging: 7 months Malolactic Fermentation: Partial Vineyard age: >25 years Climate: Altlawntic with abundant rainfall (1500mm) Soil: Sand and granite stones. Harvest: Hand picked grapes Alc.: 13,5 PH: 3,1

Winemaking The grapes are harvested by hand, in 18-kilo crates, towards the end of September. The grapes that are used to make DESCONCIERTO are selected in the vineyard. In the winery they undergo a long pressing, on average 4 hours, with graduated low intensity pressings and carefully-controlled yields. Once the must has been separated from the thicker sediment, fermentation commences spontaneously, and the temperature is controlled round the clock. Two weeks after fermentation has finished the wine is separated from the lees, and transferred preserving the fine lees, which will be in solution in the wine using the technique of pump-over every 15 days, over 7 months. TERRA DE ASOREI Winery | DO Rias Baixas, Spain

Nai is a tribute to both, the origin of the Albariño and the contemporary women. The Gali- cian poets and artists of the first half of the twentieth century refers to “nai” as a tribute to the working women who guaranteed the independence of the family and the Galician soci- ety. One of the most significant examples is the sculpture of “Naiciña” by Francisco Asorei. Those poets symbolized with “nai” their hallmark with their land, Galicia.

Terra de Asorei winery and vineyards are located in the Salnés Valley, within the DO Rias Baixas, one of the best growing regions for Albari- ño grapes. The vineyards are 20 to 80-years-old and are all within the winery’s property, located on the left bank of the Ria de Arousa (the largest saline estuary in Galicia, where the Ulla river meets the Atlan- tic ocean), with a privileged maritime climate.

Galicia is also home of Santiago de Compostela, where the legendary “Camino de Santiago” ends and pilgrims from all over the world gather to celebrate their journey.

c e l l a r s

Black Swifts are migratory birds that travel thousands of miles every year and are very selective of their nesting locations, often choosing unexpected and unique places. Inspired by these fascinating birds, Blackswift Cellars was born out of a passion for exploring different wine regions and creating remarkable wines. We carefully select our vineyards based on the ideal location for each grape varietal and the style of wine that we want to achieve. - Carolina Bistué, Winemaker -

Blackswift Cellars was founded in 2014 as a fun side project by winemaker Carolina Bistué and her family, but soon became a core part of the Bistué’s Wine Bridge portfolio. After earning her Masters in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis she worked at La Perla del Priorat in D.O.Q. Priorat, Spain and at Paul Hobbs’ Viña Cobos in Mendoza, Argentina as part of their winemaking teams. Carolina believes that great wines start in the vineyard and that the care of the vines should focus on allowing them to express their terroir. Blackswift focuses on the California expresion of Rohne style grapes such as Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.

Winemaking Notes: We harvest before sunrise on late September or Early October, depending on the maturity of the grapes and the climatic conditions of each year, obtaining well-ripened grapes with mature tannins and fantastic concentration of flavors. A good and clean harvest is the starting point for making great wines, so we sort of clusters in the field and at the winery, eliminating all non-desired components. We also use dry ice after destemming to prevent early fermentation. Once at the winery, the grapes are fermented in bins with multiple daily punch-downs. Our wines are aged in a combination of new and used 300l French oak barrels depending on each vintage and wine. We pick our grapes from the following vineyards in CA: Syrah from England-Shaw Vineyard, Winters. Grenache from Button and Turkovich Vineyard, Winters and Abba vineyard in Acampo. Mourvedre from Button and Turkovich Vineyard, Winters and Tanner Vineyard in Murphys.
