  • Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes Du Rhône Rouge - 2017
    Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rouge - 2017 Classic Côtes du Rhône. Fruity and fleshy with beautiful tannins, it’s a great everyday wine made almost exclusively from our Grand Prébois vineyards (for the Grenache) and our Vinsobres vineyards (for the Syrah). A beautiful wine you should always have around! THE VINTAGE This 2017 vintage will be remembered as the year of all records: the driest year in 30 years, non-interventionist vineyard work, optimal harvest conditions, a very small yield due to climatic hazards, and wines with very rich potential. DESCRIPTION "Côtes du Rhône par Excellence". Fruity and fleshy with beautiful tannins, its a great everyday wine. SITUATION This wine is a blend of Grenache (mainly from our Prébois vineyard in Orange), Syrah from further north (from our vineyard in Vinsobres) and Mourvèdre. TERROIR The vineyard of Prébois has clayey limestone soils covered with stones. In Vinsobres the terraces are rich in quartz and marl limestone. PROCESS The harvest date is determined by checking the ripeness of the grapes with analysis and tasting the berries. As soon as they arrive at the winery, the grapes are sorted and destemmed. The fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks between 150hl and 190hl. The extraction is done by pumping over and the frequency is determined by tasting. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred partly to oak barrels and partly to stainless steel vats where they will be aged for a year. VARIETALS Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah TASTING NOTES Pretty deep colour. The nose offers a beautiful aromatic complexity, marked by Grenache and a hint of blackcurrant brought by the ripe Syrah.

  • Coudoulet De Beaucastel Rouge 2009 | © Famille Perrin | Design Vin.Co
    Coudoulet de Beaucastel Rouge 2009 LE VIN Les 30 hectares du vignoble de Coudoulet de Beaucastel se trouvent juste à l'est de celui de Beaucastel, de l'autre côté de l'autoroute A7. Pour des raisons qui deviendront évidentes, il est souvent considéré comme le bébé de Beaucastel. Quand on s'intéresse au sol de Coudoulet on s'aperçoit qu'il existe de nombreuses similitudes avec celui de Beaucastel. Il est composé de molasse marine de miocène recouvert par un diluvium alpin. Cette couverture de galets roulés contribue beaucoup aux vins de Beaucastel : elle emmagasine la chaleur intense du soleil méditerranéen pendant la journée et la restitue lentement aux vignes pendant la nuit. Cela permet un bon démarrage des vignes au printemps. LE MILLÉSIME Le millésime 2009 se caractérise par une belle structure et des tannins souples, un ensemble équilibré par une bonne acidité obtenue malgré les fortes températures du mois d’août, grâce à la relative fraîcheur des nuits et au travail racinaire. Des traits qui rappellent de grands millésimes tels que 2005 ou 2007, qui dégustés aujourd’hui révèlent de grands potentiels de garde. SITUATION Partie Est du vignoble de Beaucastel, 30 hectares en appellation Côtes du Rhône. TERROIR Molasse marine de miocène recouvert par un diluvium alpin (cailloux roulés), identique à celle du vignoble de Châteauneuf-du-Pape. ELEVAGE Vendange manuelle, tri de la vendange à l'arrivée à la cave, chauffage de la vendange en grains entiers à 80°C (peau), refroidissement à 20°C. Macération classique en cuves béton pendant 12 jours. Tirage du jus de goutte.

  • The Malvasia Wine of Bosa As an Example of Sardinian Terroir Through Its History, Economy, Traditions and Exploitation
    ESPACIO Y TIEMPO, Revista de Ciencias Humanas, No 24-2010, pp. 59-98 THE MALVASIA WINE OF BOSA AS AN EXAMPLE OF SARDINIAN TERROIR THROUGH ITS HISTORY, ECONOMY, TRADITIONS AND EXPLOITATION Donatella CARBONI1 Sergio GINESU2 RESUMEN Cerdeña está entre las regiones italianas que producen más vino, pero también en la isla la cultura de la vid y del vino constituyen un bien inestimable, íntimamente ligado a su civilización y a sus tradiciones. Parte de este contexto es la producción de la Malvasia di Bosa, que ha contribuido desde siempre al desarrollo del sector vitivinícola de la isla, y aún ahora continúa haciéndolo. La profundización en un terroir específico, como este de la Malvasia de Bosa, requiere una amplia panorámica sobre otros campos: misteriosos orígenes del viñedo, diferentes tipologías que de esta última se pueden obtener hasta llegar a las características que residen en uno de los terroir de producción como por ejemplo la región de la Planargia. Así, las informaciones obtenidas a través de los datos estadísticos han permitido elaborar las dinámicas económicas relativas al terroir de la Malvasia de Bosa. Palabras claves: vino, terroir, Malvasia de Bosa, Cerdeña, Italia. SUMMARY Sardinia is not one among the major wine producing regions in Italy, yet the culture of the grapevine and of wine constitute invaluable goods for the island as they are intimately tied up to its 1 Dipartimento di Teorie e Ricerche dei Sistemi Culturali.

  • California's Wildfire Siege
    PAYWALL ACCESS Email: [email protected] Password: password1 CALIFORNIA’S WILDFIRE SIEGE How the San Francisco Chronicle covered the record-setting blazes of 2020 In August and September, we saw 7.8 million page views to our interactive fire tracker project, including individual pages dedicated to the LNU Lightning Complex and Glass fires. If there’s a typical breaking news story, this wasn’t it. This was a cascading di- saster that unfolded not in an hour or a day, but over two months, relentlessly. Starting in mid-August, a siege of dry lightning unleashed fires unprecedented even by California standards. Flames blasted into rural towns and cities. Smoke choked the sky. By season’s end, 9,600 fires had burned a record-setting 4.4 mil- lion acres, destroyed 10,000-plus homes and businesses, and killed 33 people. Though the stage had been set by drought, climate change and government failure, California was not prepared. There weren’t enough firefighters and evacuees confront- ed the spreading coronavirus. But the Chronicle staff was prepared, after spending the previous three years reorganizing its entire newsroom around fire season. The Chronicle staff — while covering a pandemic and an election and coping with the restrictions of remote work — documented the fires aggressively, 24 hours a day, with a varied and innovative array of journalism that gave readers critical informa- tion even as it raised difficult questions about the state’s future. This included: • On-the-ground reporting and a drumbeat of enterprise and investigative work; • Vivid photography and videography; • Nonstop “live updates” and news alerts; • Multimedia tools including fire, air-quality and power-outage trackers; • Podcasts and social media delivered in real-time from the field; • Explainers on what readers needed to know to understand the story and be safe; • Deep narrative storytelling that illuminated the human costs.

New Zealand wine is exported to more than 90 countries. Exports of Pinot Noir nearly doubled from 2008 to 2015.

From 2006 to 2015, the number of New Zealand wineries has increased from 530 to 673 and the number of growers from 87 to 762. Total producing vineyard area in 2015 was 88,609 acres.
