Robert Mondavi WOODBRIDGE Rose California
Description: This White Zinfandel needs an early harvest, because the style of this wine requires lower sugar levels and higher acidity than for full-bodied, red Zinfandel wine. 85% of the grapes are selected from the Lodi American Viticultural Area , with the balance from the Central Coast and North Coast AVAs. The Lodi appellation, surrounding Woodbridge Winery, has been known for outstanding Zinfandel grapes since the Gold Rush era. One of the first designated appellations in California, Lodi is nestled between the Sacramento Delta region and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters to extract just a hint of color and delicate flavour from the skins. Almost all red grape varieties have clear juice so the intensity of color comes from the length of skin contact. The juice underwent a long, cold fermentation at 45ºF to accentuate the fresh, berry character of the Zinfandel grape. A small amount of the natural grape sugars was retained to give the wine a delicate sweetness and balance the crisp acidity. To add delicate floral accents to the flavor profile, 7% Muscat and 2% other aromatic white varieties were added. Because White Zinfandel is best enjoyed while young and fresh, it is not oak-aged. This White Zinfandel is popular for its pure expression of fresh fruit, accented with spice and floral notes. The Zinfandel grapes naturally high acidity is reflected in the wine's bright, beautifully balanced flavors. Lightly sweet and refreshing, the wine has delicate strawberry, ripe apple and watermelon character, with subtle nuances of flowers and sweet spices showing a nice finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Domaine Rossignol Trapet TEURONS 1er Cru Beaune
Description: Since the 16th century, the ROSSIGNOL family have been winegrowers in Volnay. The TRAPET family were also traditionaly in the wine business; they were originaly set up in Chambolle-Musigny and moved to Gevrey-Chambertin at the end of the 19th century. Recently, 1961 to 1990, Jacques Rossignol with his wife Mado Trapet were both partners in the Domaine Louis Trapet which the activities ceased with the 1989 vintage. By 1990 Jacques Rossignol and his two sons, Nicolas and David subsequently set up the Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, located in Gevrey-Chambertin and owns vineyards in the internationally renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Morey-Saint-Denis and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. The grapes are exclusively hand-picked and the local pichers come every year and know perfectly how to pick the ripest grapes. When arriving to the harvesting bins, the grapes are again very severely selected. The grapes are put into harvesting bins in the fermentation room, crushed and put into vats.The grapes are destalked between 60 to 80% depending on the year. Pre-fermenting maceration, pumping-over and numerous pigeages also depend on the characteristics of the grapes. The vatting time lasts from 14 to 16 days. Every must is tasted several times a day to decide precisely when decuvage is needed. The Domaine use about 20% new oaks-barrels for each vintage and this proportion of new oak keeps the aromatic finesse and the elegance of the Pinot Noir. In January, generally, malolactic fermentation is finished and the wines are racked. The wines mature slowly in oak-barrels and therefore develop their bouquet and get their stability and structure. Before bottling, wines are slightly fined , and then bottling occurs between 11 and 14 months of barrels maturing. (12 x 75 cl)
