Chasing Harvest Central Otago Riesling
Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. Hand harvested and ripe clusters were sorted in the winery, de-stemmed and crushed the fruit was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day and after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on it’s lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring.

Chasing Harvest Douro Branco
Although, ports have been made for centuries in the region, a focus on quality dry wines is rather recent. Some small vineyards hidden in the Douro’s mountain villages perhaps not appropriate for ports can be undiscovered treasures for these non-fortified white wines. We believe we were lucky to find a couple of these hidden treasures for this wine.
Again, made with our good friend Henrique Cizeron and hand harvested largely by ourselves we are very pleased with the results.
This barrel fermented white blend expresses citrus and stone fruit aromas, minerality, and a creamy texture with an elegant finish.

The wine has great texture with good acidity and longand well developed tannins. Although, something to be enjoyed at the moment, it can certainly be aged for many years.

Chateau Beau Site Haut Vignoble Saint Estephe
Saint-Estèphe reds have a reputation for grit and austerity. Certainly, you’ll find plenty of cigar smoke and leather in this bottle. But there’s oak and vanilla, too, plus some blackberry and plum.
Chateau D’Arlay Vin de Liquer Macvin, Blanc (375mL)
(Available in 375mL)
One of the most unusual wine estates in France is Chateau d'Arlay, an historic property that was acquired by the Laguiche family in 1960. They own 74 acres in the Cotes du Jura (a largely forgotten appellation) planted with everything from Pinot Noir to such indigenous grapes as Trusseau [sic], Poulsard and Savagnin as well as the more common Chardonnay. The wines are often released very late, and one of their specialties is their Vin Jaune, a sensational wine that makes a great accompaniment with foie gras. However, that cuvee is too expensive to include in this report. A white wine blended with liqueur, usually made from equal parts Chardonnay and Savagnin mixed with brandy. A powerhouse with 17% alcohol, it is aged for seven years in cask before being released.
