Info@Alloravineyards.Com Lusso Means “Luxury Lusso Lusso means “luxury” in Italian. This luxurious Cabernet Sauvignon contains fruit from the St. Helena Appellation of Napa Valley and is 100% Estate Grown. Lusso comes from the best grapes we grow. Vintage: 2015 Harvest Notes: Problem free harvest that produced clean, healthy grapes resulting in high-quality wines despite the drought and a very small crop with a little uneven ripening. Picking ended in October. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2014 Harvest Notes: A dream vintage, with high quality throughout. Drought conditions and small crop size did prove to be minor irritants. Everything was ready to pick in mid- August. Tasting Notes: This wine has aromas of black licorice, nutmeg, and red currant with hints of mocha and cherry concluding with a velvet-like texture and silky finish. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2013 Harvest Notes: An ideal growing season with dry conditions and a long, sunny summer. Despite being a drought year it is worthy to be called superior. Tasting Notes: Aged 27 months on new French Oak this wine showcases flavors of blackberries, vanilla and espresso. This handcrafted Cabernet lingers on your palate long after the wine has left your glass. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2012 Harvest Notes: An ideal season with no frosts, a mild spring and summer and a tranquil fall. We are elated by the quality and quantity of the 2012 harvest. There is a level of excellence that supersedes past vintages, going back decades. Tasting Notes: A youthful and exuberant purple hue offers classic Cabernet aromas of cassis, cocoa and brambly black cherries. It shows full and dense with a sweet core of fruit on the palate. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2011 Harvest Notes: A cold, wet spring, a late fruit set, a mild summer and a harvest that dragged on into November, bedeviled by rain. We were able to salvage the season by picking the entire vineyard in one day. Tasting Notes: The textures of new, soft leather, aromas of forest floor, black cherry, baking spices, olive and persimmons cascade into a bright, long and lingering finish. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon ALLORA VINEYARDS Purchase Wines: AlloraVineyards.com • Schedule a Tasting: [email protected] Vintage: 2010 Harvest Notes: The growing season began cool and wet and delayed harvest drastically. A late August heat wave sent the temperatures from the mid-70s to 110. Careful observance was a must! Tasting Notes: This Lusso is full of ripe blackberries, chocolate, black cherry and caramel and pairs well with dark chocolates. We recommend you pair it with your favorite meal during the next special occasion. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2009 Harvest Notes: Things went fairly smoothly and grapes were picked at optimal ripening levels, capping a summer of mild, steady weather. We were excited about the young wine's color, flavor, acids and tannins. Tasting Notes: Lusso in Italian means luxury and this is our most luxurious wine. It is barrel fermented with natural or wild yeasts made watched very closely during the entire fermentation process. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2008 Harvest Notes: Drought preceded a hard frost, which led to an uneven set and a small crop, but after that it was smooth sailing ending in great relief. Tasting Notes: From the time you smell its delicious fragrance, to the moment you savour the very last, luscious drop, you will be taken in by the rich texture and un- matched elegance of balance and refinement. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2007 Harvest Notes: Cold winter grew into warmer spring bringing early budding, bloom and set in the vineyards. A heat spike boosted the sugar development that complemented the excellent acid structures. Tasting Notes: This ripe, yet elegant wine has a dark, ruby color and a complex nose of cassis and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine has a delectable berry-laden entry and a rich, mouth coating mid-palate. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2006 Harvest Notes: One of the top vintages of the decade but not one where "the wines make themselves". A cool, wet spring led to slow ripening while heat spikes in July caused worry of sunburn resulting in an expensive farming year. Tasting Notes: A seamless wine that expresses bright, fresh fruit characters from an unusually cool California vintage. It has a vibrant, ruby color and a complex nose of boysenberries, blueberries, sage, and licorice. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon ALLORA VINEYARDS Purchase Wines: AlloraVineyards.com • Schedule a Tasting: [email protected] Vintage: 2005 Harvest Notes: Predictions abounded that it could be one of Napa's finest vintages. Cool weather prevailed and harvest came very late but was nearly perfect. Extended hang time allowed for great flavor and bountiful harvest. Tasting Notes: A luscious mouth feel with notes of fresh fruit and carnation flowers on the palate. It has fine-grained tannins and a velvety texture that leads to a long, fruit-filled finish. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage: 2003 Harvest Notes: The unpredictable growing season began with a series of early heat spikes in March, followed by the wettest April on record while a long cool summer allowed fruit flavors to increase beautifully.

  • The Catena Institute of Wine Publishes Groundbreaking Article in the Most Extensive Terroir Study of Any Varietal Wine
    The Catena Institute of Wine Publishes Groundbreaking Article in the Most Extensive Terroir Study of Any Varietal Wine Mendoza, Argentina – February 3, 2021 – The Catena Institute of Wine announces the publication of groundbreaking research, irrefutably proving the existence of terroir and its persistence across vintages. The article, “Terroir and vintage discrimination of Malbec wines based on phenolic composition across multiple sites in Mendoza, Argentina,” appears today in Scientific Reports, one of the most-cited journals in the world. The Institute chose to submit the study to Scientific Reports, a Nature Research journal, because of its rigorous peer review acceptance process and open access—making it available to everyone. “Mendoza is one of the few places in the world with strikingly different wine terroirs within short distances,” said Dr. Laura Catena, founder of the Catena Institute of Wine. “For the first time, this study shows that the terroir effect can be chemically described from vintage to vintage in larger regions as well as in smaller parcelas (parcels). We were able to predict with 100% certainty the vintage of each wine of our study through chemical analysis.” This study is the first to compare four different levels of terroir – three large regions, six departments, 12 geographical indications, and 23 individual parcelas (smaller than one hectare) – over three different vintages (2016, 2017 and 2018). Detailed climate data is provided in the study, along with the chemical analysis of 201 wines that were all microvinified under similar conditions. Chemometric data analysis made it possible to group the wines into distinctive regions and parcelas. In addition to predicting the vintage of each wine, 11 out of 23 parcelas could be identified by chemical analysis with 100% certainty, while the remaining 12 parcelas could be identified with up to 83% certainty.

  • Domaine Rostaing TECHNICAL INFORMATION René Rostaing Launched This Estate in 1971, but Continued to Split His Time Between Wine and Real Estate for Another 20 Years
    NORTHERN RHÔNE, FRANCE Domaine Rostaing TECHNICAL INFORMATION René Rostaing launched this estate in 1971, but continued to split his time between wine and real estate for another 20 years. René inherited the vineyards from two of the appellation’s historical titans, his father-inlaw, Albert Dervieux and then his uncle, the legendary Marius Gentaz, between 1989 and 1992. From these two, he also learned to value the noble style of classic Côte Rôtie. Since 2015, the domaine has been managed by René’s son, Pierre. Along with Jamet, Rostaing may have the finest vineyard holdings in private hands in Côte Rôtie. Pierre works over 7.5+ ha, in 14+ lieux-dits, including 1.6 ha in La Landonne, 1.2 ha in La Viallière, 1.0 ha in Côte Blonde, and 0.3 ha in Côte Brune. A majority of the vines were planted in the 1960s and 1970s, but some of the Viallière vines exceed 100 years old. In addition, he has a choice 1.0 ha in Condrieu, and works a 10 ha site in the Côteaux du Languedoc. Pierre adapts his methods to the vintage. Viticulture is lutte raisonée, with no artifical fertilizers or herbicides employed. Grapes are harvested by hand, reds are not generally destemmed, and fermentations proceed with their indigenous yeasts. Average yields are around 30hl/ha. Established: 1971 Proprietor/Winemaker: Pierre Rostaing Appellation: Côte Rôtie & Condrieu Soils: Schist dominates throughout the Rostaing holdings, while granite comes to dominate the estate’s Condrieu holdings. THE WINES Vineyard & Grapes Winemaking Average Production Côte Rôtie Vineyards from throughout the Maceration can vary from 7-20 days.

Volta 13B, 39100 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0471-017691 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 28 November 2020; Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: Targeted and untargeted determinations are being currently applied to different classes of natural phenolics to develop an integrated approach aimed at ensuring compliance to regulatory prescriptions related to specific quality parameters of wine production. The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

This work aimed to study the influence of some commonly applied viticultural practices on the polyphenolic composition of ‘Agiorgitiko’. Leaf removal at veraison, irrigation, and a combination of both, were applied and the phenolic content of the grapes and of the produced wines was compared. The results showed that leaf removal decreased berry size, enhanced total anthocyanin, total phenol and malvidin 3-O-monoglucoside accumulation in skins and increased the amount of extractable anthocyanins in the juice. The combination of irrigation and leaf removal caused a significant increase in total phenols in the skin and in the amount of extractable anthocyanins in juice.

  • The Effect of Grape Ripening Stage on Red Wine Color
    THE EFFECT OF GRAPE RIPENING STAGE ON RED WINE COLOR EFFET DE LA MATURATION SUR LA COULEUR DES VINS ROUGES A.B. BAUTISTA-ORTÍN1, J.I. FERNÁNDEZ-FERNÁNDEZ2, J.M. LÓPEZ-ROCA1 and E. GÓMEZ-PLAZA*1 1 : Departamento de Tecnología de Alimentos, Nutrición y Bromatología, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Murcia. Campus de Espinardo, 30071 Murcia, Espagne 2 : I.M.I.D.A. Ctra. La Alberca s/n, 30150 Murcia, Espagne Abstract : The physico-chemical and chromatic characteristics of grapes (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Monastrell) harvested at six dif- ferent degree of ripeness (from August 16 to October 24, 2002) and that of the wines obtained from these grapes have been stu- died. The grape anthocyanins content (mg/kg of berry fresh weight) was maximum in those grapes harvested on September 11 and 16 (804.1 and 822.6 mg/kg, respectively) and decreased for grapes harvested in October. However, the results showed that the grapes with the highest anthocyanin concentration did not lead to the highest colored wines. The wines elaborated from grapes harvested on October 16 (671.9 mg of anthocyanins per kg of berry fresh weight) had the best chromatic characteristics and better withstood aging in the bottle; the extent of cell wall degradation in overly matured grapes probably facilitated the extraction of phenolic compounds from skins. However, the chromatic quality of wines made from grapes harvested one week later (October 24, the most mature grapes) was lower than that from October 16, with lower color intensity (13 % lower in the wine elaborated from grapes harvested in October 24) and a percentage of yellow color 6 % higher in this wine.

  • 'Terroir' the Port Vineyards Are Located in the North East of Portugal in The
    Geography and ‘terroir’ The Port vineyards are located in the north east of Portugal in the mountainous upper reaches of the Douro River Valley. This region lies about 130 kilometres inland and is protected from the influence of the Atlantic Ocean by the Marão mountains. The vineyard area is hot and dry in summer and cold in winter, excellent conditions for producing the concentrated and powerful wines needed to make port. The coastal area is humid and temperate, providing the ideal conditions in which to age the wine. The grapes are grown and turned into wine in the vineyards of the Douro Valley. In the spring following the harvest, the wine is brought down to the coast to be aged in the warehouses of the Port houses, known as ‘lodges’. The ‘lodges’ are located in Vila Nova de Gaia, a town located on the south bank of the River Douro facing the old city of Oporto. Until about sixty years ago, the wine was brought down the river from the vineyards to the coast in traditional boats called ‘barcos rabelos’. Most of the vineyards are planted on the steep hillsides of the Douro River valley and those of its tributaries, such as the Corgo, the Távora and the Pinhão. The oldest vineyards are planted on ancient walled terraces, some made over two hundred years ago. These have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Douro Valley is considered to be one of the most beautiful and spectacular vineyard areas in the world. The soil of the Douro Valley is very stony and is made up of schist, a kind of volcanic rock.
