Intense, very aromatic bouquet with a mixture of floral hints of jasmine, hawthorn and lemon blossom. Full of fruit on the palate – mandarin, pear, lychee, pineapple… Lots of body and length with this wine which fills the palate. Wonderful combination of sweetness and liveliness. A very successful vintage.

Furmint is the grape used to produce Hungary’s renowned sweet wine, Tokaji. When vinified dry, however, Furmint is capable of producing some very compelling white wine. This wine exhibits a bouquet of white flowers, grapefruit and pears. A refreshing texture gives way to expressive fruit on the palate and a lingering mineral finish. It will pair well with shellfish, white fishes, salads and picnic foods, but it also possesses the weight and profile to match with white meats and creamy pasta dishes as well. - Importer notes

“Lo Sang del Pais” translates as “the blood of the countryside” and one can easily feel the life-force of this wine. The grape bunches are hand harvested and after being de-stemmed they are fed into fermentation tanks using gravity flow. The “cuvaison” lasts 21 days with the juice being pumped over the cap during the first 6 days. The wine is aged for 6 months in large oak and chestnut barrels which range in age up to 200 years old. The wine has a bright violet color and aromas of wild red fruit and pepper which follow through on the palate with freshness and vibrancy.

100% Mansois (Fer Servadou)

Roger Labbe’s Abymes is 100% Jacquère, a variety that grows especially well in the Savoie region of France. While the appellation tolerates 10% of other grape varieties, Labbe chooses to feature the purity of this variety in this bottling.
A clean, dry white wine; tangy, chalky minerals and floral fruit flavors, it is a natural match for shellfish.

The Blanc Perlé, which is sometimes labeled as Gaillac Fraîcheur Perlé by other producers, has been produced in Gaillac since the 1950’s. The freshness in the wine is achieved by preserving some of the natural CO2 that occurs during the vinification, although for decades most producers have added CO2. Mathieu does not add CO2 or anything else to his wines as is certified by the agency, Nature et Progrès. The wine has evolved from being a blend of two or three varieties to being produced from a single variety, the indigenous Loin de L’Oeil. The grapes are pressed slowly and gently in a pneumatic press. Because of the low yields this wine fills the palate with a wonderful concentration of flavors while retaining a freshness that is underscored by mineral, petrol and citrus notes. Mathieu adds 15mg/L of SO2 before bottling.

TREJ is Barbera, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto in equal parts.

The brothers Luigi and Alfredo Grasso started in the vineyard in 1970 and continue to actively cultivate 14 hectares. The Grasso Fratelli farm is located in Valgrande in the municipality of Treiso, in the heart of the Langhe, a typical area known for the cultivation of the vines from which the best and prestigious Piedmontese wines are born. In this area, nowadays very popular also for its splendid nature, the Nebbiolo grape variety from which Barbaresco wine originates is cultivated with particular care.

-Importer notes

Red intense wine made with Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera di Lecce. The nose has fruity hints of plum and spiced of vanilla. In the mouth it is smooth, velvety and nicely tannic. Very good with roasted meat and cheeses.

-Winery notes

Lovely notes of indigo in its color – aged for 9 months in French & American oak – well balanced fruit flavors accented with a touch of light oak and notable  minerality, keeping the

very long finish capped with delightful spice

Perfect with barbequed meats and blue cheese
