Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County California
Description: Cooler vineyard temperatures preserve zinfandel’s juicy acidity and allowed for the grape tannins to mature on the vine while infusing scents of cracked black pepper and heightening zin’s briary, spicy essence. Fine, ripe tannins add a velvety richness seldom found in Zinfandel, while the elegant richness, broad mouth feel and a lingering minerality elicit typicity that indicate superior grape growing. Savory purity of fruit with both aromas and flavours of blueberry and cherry abound. Fruit for this wine came from four estate vineyards: San Lorenzo, Home Ranch, Lone Oak and River Road in Alexander Valley and Cortina in Dry Creek Valley. Once in the winery the results of vinification and 12 months in oak; of which 75% was American and 25% French; is a good colour and soft, ripe tannins. The Seghesio Story begins in 1886 when Edoardo Seghesio departed his family’s vineyards in Piedmonte, Italy for a new life in America. Like so many immigrants, he was drawn to Northern Sonoma County and the Italian Swiss Colony, to follow his passion for winemaking. The “colony,” as it was known, hired immigrants for three year stints, providing room and board and then, a lump sum at the end of those three years enabling employees to buy land or set up a business in their new home. Soon, Edoardo rose through the ranks to winemaker. Yet, he yearned for home. The Colony’s manager repeatedly encouraged him to stay and finally, it was his niece and the opportunity to purchase land that convinced Edoardo to remain. That young girl, Angela Vasconi and Edoardo were married in 1893. In 1895, they purchased a modest home in northern Alexander Valley, less for the home than the surrounding 56 acres Edoardo recognized as ideal vineyard land. They planted the “Home Ranch” that year to what has become the family’s lifeline – Zinfandel. Today his grandchildren share his passion as they farm over 80 hectares of Zinfandel in Alexander and Dry Creek Valley. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Domaine Thibert LES CRAS Pouilly-Fuisse
Description: This small family-owned and run domaine cultivates 24 acres, all in the small village of Fuisse. This village is said to produce the ripest Pouilly Fuisse with the most flavour, due to its situation and soil. It lies on gently undulating hills, thus capturing the sunlight easily and the chalky soil is a mixture of limestone and slate. The emphasis at Domaine Thibert is definitely on quality rather than quantity and they produce solely Pouilly Fuisse from chardonnay grapes. The wine is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and barrique and then aged in a barrel. This Pouilly-Fuisse is a real vin de pierre, dry, stony, taut. This white is a serious proposition from 43-year-old vines with high density planting on limestone marne soil. Vinification and ageing is traditional in foudres , the rest in futs de chene while the wine remains on the lees before bottling. Available in 37.5 cl Half Bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)
