Montirius is owned by the Saurel family, with son Eric in control of wine-making and day-to-day operations. Eric is a trained oenologist and also consults to many successful estates in the southern Rhone. Montirius is based on the northeastern edge of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in Vacqueyras and Gigondas. Clos Montirius is a piece of land that rises above the Comtat plain. It enjoys a particular microclimate with less rainfall than other areas, a sweet lieu-dit in the vineyard of some eight hectares of Syrah and Grenache vines.. The entire estate is run under full biodynamic principles. Preparations stemming from vegetable, animal and mineral materials are made and their applications are at the precise moments in the cycles of the year with regard to a lunar and global calendar . The grapes are selected by hand and tasted for ripeness. The aim is to create a wine with finesse and suppleness. In the modern winery all the grapes are destemmed. After a cool maceration and during fermentation the remontage begins at the same as a gentle aeration. This helps to stabilise the colour and anthocyanins as well as eliminating odours of reduction. The wine then remains for two years in tank in order to have a natural period of stabilisation before bottling. Dense ruby/purple-coloured, with medium body, solid tannin, and serious concentration the Montirius possesses copious amounts of sweet kirsch and black currant fruit intermixed with notes of liquorice as well as leather.

La Cave Du Vin Blanc De Morgex Et De La Salle VINI ESTREMI Vallee D'Aosta
Description: The region of Valle d'Aosta has an ancient history of winemaking, even though the steep mountain slopes and harsh, cold climate might suggest otherwise. Historically however, wine production from the region was confined to individual 'backyardvineyards' of usually no more than 2,500 square meters. In 1983, thanks in part to the efforts of the region's local government, these efforts were officially acknowledged and the Cooperative estate, Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, was born. This cooperative took control of its newly built winery, well-equipped with all the technology needed to produce high-quality fine wines and began producing the region's traditional wine varieties. The local growers of the co-op are for the most part retired persons who tend their vines as they would a garden, following specific guidelines set up by the cooperative itself. Today the Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle produces over 140,000 bottles annually of 5 different traditional Valle D'Aosta wines. This unfailing commitment to the Valle D'Aosta wine-making has literally saved the region's history and culture from extinction, making these beautiful wines, and a part of Valle D'Aosta's culture.
