  • 2019 Signature Chenin Blanc Napa Valley Winemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus
    2019 Signature Chenin Blanc Napa Valley Winemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus The Wine Our Chenin Blanc has a long and storied history on Pritchard Hill®. The original vines were already producing when Donn and Molly purchased the property in the late 1960s. Following a replanting in 2004, we reintroduced our Chenin Blanc as a “Signature” designation – with a twist. While our Signature Cabernet bear Donn Chappellet’s name, Molly Chappellet’s signature graces our Chenin Blanc label. To add depth and complexity, the 2019 Chenin Blanc was fermented in a combination of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Growing Season & Harvest The 2019 growing season began with cool, rainy weather throughout winter and spring, which delayed budbreak slightly and resulted in a robust crop and vigorous canopies. To create the desired vine balance, we thinned leaves and clusters extensively, doing as many as three fruit-dropping passes depending on the needs of each vine. The weather remained temperate throughout summer, followed by perfectly timed warm weather in October. As a result, early ripening grapes like Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay yielded wines with dazzling aromatics, lovely energy and pure, fresh flavors, while our later-ripening varieties provided gorgeous color and concentration, with supple tannins and rich, soaring flavors. Tasting Notes This sophisticated expression of mountain-grown Chenin Blanc offers enticing aromas of citrus blossom, orange zest, subtle tropical fruit, fresh-cut hay and delicate minerality. On the palate it is pure and focused, with lively energy and vibrant flavors of Meyer Lemon and guava that resonate on the bright, fresh Wine Statistics finish.

  • 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.

  • Colleleva.Pdf
    COLLELEVA Country: Italy Region: Marche Appellation(s): Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Producer: Colleleva Founded: 1984 Annual Production: 12,500 cases Farming: Sustainable As with every region in Italy, the Marche is a world all unto itself. On Italy’s less traveled Adriatic coast, in between Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo, the Marche is relatively sparsely populated, and largely composed of gently rolling hills, green with agriculture, that end along steep limestone bluffs on the coast. This is the home of the Verdicchio grape, whose name comes from the root verde, describing both the greenish hue of the grapes and the resulting wine. The Castelli di Jesi DOC is one of the largest of the zones in which Verdicchio is grown and surrounds the town of Jesi and its ancient fortifications. The vineyards of Colleleva (Colle “hill”, and si Leva, “rises”) lie on the heights of the Marche: about halfway between the Apennine mountains and the coastline of the Adriatic Sea. The combination of eastern sun exposure and the cooling winds from the Adriatic provide an optimal microclimate for balancing ripeness with fresh acidity in the grapes. Verdicchio, also known as Trebbiano di Soave, has been cultivated in the Marche for many centuries. It is capable of making vibrantly fresh and crisp white wines that are a wonderful accompaniment to seafood. The Riserva bottlings can age gracefully. From Colleleva we have a wine in the former camp. During a tasting trip in the Marche, their stainless steel tank vinified Verdicchio was one of the stars among many, many wines tasted. The perfume is entrancing—at once fresh and rounded, and typical of the grape.

  • 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
    2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS Grapes for our Helderberg Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from the renowned Helderberg mountainous area around Stellenbosch. With its big diurnal range and combination of unique soils such as decomposed dolomite granite, Table Mountain sandstone, and “koffieklip,” these mountains are considered prime terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon in South Africa, often said to contribute to the typical Cape garrigue or “fynbos” character. The fine tannin structure another characteristic of grapes sourced from the Helderberg area as a direct result of the colder climatic conditions and influences from the False Bay microclimate. After cold maceration, for optimal extraction of color, flavor, and tannins, the primary fermentation was started with selected native yeast. The wine was French oak matured for 12 months, of which 30% was in new barriques and 70% in older barriques. After maturation, the assemblage was done, using only the very best components to create a sleek, sophisticated Cabernet full of cassis flavor, yet with elegant, refreshing red fruit undertones. This wine is deliciously approachable now but will keep for a further three to five years. TASTING NOTES The nose is subtle yet utterly sophisticated with its compote of blueberries, mulberries, and blackberries, and hints of garrigue and mocha. Cassis, blackberries, and Cape fynbos dominate a dark, brooding mid-palate. Tannins are fine and grippy, creating structure and a certain nervosité with the vibrant lemony acidity. The wine lingers on the finish with notes of tarragon, marjoram, and dill. ANALYSIS Alc: 14.58 % RS: 3.1 g/L TA: 5.2 g/L pH: 3.81 Vineyard Brands | www.vineyardbrands.com | Birmingham, AL HEL4005.

  • Our Sub-Regions: Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi
    OUR SUB-REGIONS VERDICCHIO DEI CASTELLI DI JESI DOC OVERVIEW Marche's most sought-after grape variety at present is Verdicchio, considered one of Italy's best white varieties, and the primary source of Verdicchio is in the hill towns (castelli) around the city of Jesi in central Marche. The denomination is a mouthful: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC. This wine was once famous for the fish- or amphora-shaped bottles that it came in, and it had a reputation for not being as interesting as the bottles. In today's wine world, where so-so doesn't sell, Castelli di Jesi wineries have dramatically improved the wine's quality, and the kitschy bottle has been replaced by a standard one that fits in a wine rack. The rules of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC wines are fairly simple: the wine must contain at least 85% Verdicchio. However, there are quite a few style and geographic variations. The wine can be still or sparkling, for instance, or it can be made in a sweet dessert style using dried grapes. Wines made in the southern part of the denomination where production first began can use the term Classico on the label, and that area has been subdivided into 99 small parcels whose names can appear on the bottle if the grapes are all from a single parcel. Superiore wines require grapes that are at peak ripeness at harvest. If those variations are not enough, there is also a Riserva version of the still wine that spends at least a year and a half aging.

  • F6.2 Eastern Garrigue
    European Red List of Habitats - Heathland Habitat Group F6.2 Eastern garrigue Summary This is open, low scrub dominated by sclerophyllous shrubs and sub-shrubs that is derived from degraded evergreen forest and maquis in the eastern Mediterranean including the Black Sea coast, and sustained by summer aridity, grazing and fire. The floristic composition is diverse and dependent on geographical position across the range, altitude and the particularity of human impact. Abandonment or intensive grazing are the main threats and no particular conservation measures are needed if traditional agriculture is maintained. Synthesis Relatively few quantitative data exist, but all information indicates that the habitat is Least Concern (LC), as declines in quality are relatively small and the habitat is widespread and increasing in area in the Eastern Mediterranean. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Various communities and associations have been identified within the distribution range of the habitat, which might be considered geographically and ecologically distinguished sub-habitat types and would require further examination.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.
