Malbec Riserva ALTOS Las...

Malbec Riserva ALTOS Las...

Altos Las Hormigas was founded in Mendoza in 1995 by oenologist Alberto Antonini and entrepreneur Antonio Morescalchi, later joined by Attilio<br />Pagli and Carlos Vazquez. The property extends in the Mendoza region and in particular in the two subzones of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú, where the<br />first Altos Las Hormigas vineyards were planted in 1996. At present, the agronomic management of the land aims to protect the natural heritage of<br />the region, whose particular beauty is also due to the fact that it lies at the foot of Aconcagua, an Andean mountain, to the east of which the largest<br />portion of the estate faces. The nature of the soils is clay-limestone with alluvial sedimentation, and in some areas has sand and pebbles. The climate<br />of the region is characterised by dry periods and a marked temperature alternation: very hot days and cold nights. The winery currently covers an area<br />of 206 hectares, 40 of which are planted to Malbec and 6 to Bonarda. Harvesting is done manually and takes place in February and March. Altos Las<br />Hormigas wines are the result of little intervention in the cellar, aimed at enhancing the incredible heritage of Malbec vinified in purity.<br /><br />Varietal: Malbec.<br /><br />Vineyards: The grapes come from vineyards located on limestone soils in the Uco Valley, alluvial deposits of the Tunuyán River in Paraje Altamira and<br />Gualtallary. These terraces are characterised by the presence of medium to large gravel covered with calcium carbonate paste.<br /><br />Vinification: Malbec Reserve 2017 is made from hand-picked Malbec grapes.<br />During fermentation, excessive extraction is avoided and only indigenous yeasts are used. The wine matures for 22 months in 3,500-litre, unroasted<br />French oak barrels and then ages 12 months in the bottle.<br /><br />Characteristics: Malbec Reserve 2017 is characterised by spicy notes such as white and pink pepper, violets, graphite, red fruits, berries and underbrush.<br />Complex, long, it is an evolving wine in the glass with fine-grained structured tannins that linger long on the palate.<br />

Fonseca Guimaraens BIN 27...

Fonseca Guimaraens BIN 27...

Bin 27 shares the heritage and style of the great Fonseca Vintage Ports, as well as much of their depth and character.<br /><br />Full Bodied &amp; Fruity<br /><br />Tasting note<br />Bin 27 shares the heritage and style of the great Fonseca Vintage Ports, as well as much of their depth and character.<br />However it is bottled when ready to drink and can be served by the glass directly from the bottle. Blended for consistency of character and quintessentially Fonseca in<br />style, this reserve blend provides reliable and affordable value.<br />Deep youthful ruby colour. Intense rich fruity nose crammed with pure blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum aromas interwoven with notes of spice.<br />The palate full bodied and round, with a smooth velvety texture balanced by firm mouth filling tannins. The juicy black fruit flavours linger into the rich luscious finish.<br />Pairing suggestions<br />The rich black fruit flavours of Bin 27 are a perfect match for chocolate and berry fruit dishes. A chocolate fondant with strawberries makes a deliciously hedonistic<br />combination with Bin 27, the rich creamy chocolate and luscious ripe strawberries blending seductively with the blackcurrant and cherry fruitiness of the wine. Bin 27 is also<br />excellent served after a meal with bitter chocolate with a high cocoa content or a plate of chocolate brownies or truffles. Like all youthful red Ports, Bin 27 is an excellent<br />match for soft ripe cheeses and can be served on its own at the end of the meal or any other relaxed occasion in a generously proportioned wine glass.<br />Description<br />Although for connoisseurs and collectors Fonseca is synonymous with Vintage Port, to thousands of wine drinkers and Port lovers, the wine that springs to mind is Bin 27.<br />This rich and fruity reserve blend is sold all over the world and has a particularly loyal following in North America.<br />Fonseca Bin 27 was launched in Britain nearly 50 years ago, in 1972. At the time the market for Port was undergoing a profound change. Consumers were becoming more<br />knowledgeable and demanding in their choice of wine. No longer content with the simple young Ports that until then had accounted for much of consumption, they sought<br />more sophisticated and distinctive wines both to enjoy at home and when dining out.<br />

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Marchese Antinori Vinsanto Chianti Classico DOC 2016<br /><br />Climate: After an autumn and winter that tended to be mild and not very rainy, spring 2016 began with good weather in Chianti Classico, bringing bud break about 10 days<br />earlier than the historical average. Starting in May and during the first half of June, rainfall and average cool temperatures were recorded, but did not affect the decisive<br />phases of flowering and fruit set. The summer up to the end of August was hot, dry and without heat peaks: optimal conditions for maintaining an excellent vegetative-<br />productive balance and ensuring constant growth of the grapes. Harvesting took place between 7 and 10 September.<br /><br />Vinification: the grapes, sourced exclusively from the vineyards of the Antinori estates in Chianti Classico, were carefully selected and harvested in boxes; they were then<br />placed by hand on the special mats of the appassitoio (drying room) of the Tignanello estate or on the penzane of the Pèppoli estate (mobile frames where the bunches are<br />hung in suspension). The grapes, left to dry until the end of December, were then softly pressed in order to maintain their organoleptic and aromatic characteristics. The<br />must obtained was put into the typical 'caratelli', made from different types of wood and with a capacity varying between 50 and 200 litres, where the long, slow alcoholic<br />fermentation took place. The wine remained in the kegs for about 3 years and was then blended and finally bottled.<br /><br />Historical data: The production of Vinsanto in Tuscany dates back at least to medieval times: it is considered a true regional speciality and the Antinori family has always<br />produced it. The first vintage of Vinsanto Tenute Marchese Antinori (a 'natural' production vinsanto) was, however, 1987.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: The Marchese Antinori Vinsanto has a dark amber colour with golden reflections. On the nose sweet notes of dried fruit, such as hazelnut and date, combine<br />with an intense sensation of candied orange, honey, and a slight hint of cinnamon. On the palate it is full, soft, supported by a pleasant freshness that makes it lively and<br />pleasant. Good persistence on the palate.<br />

Opus One 2017 California...

Opus One 2017 California...

The winter of 2017 ended a five-year drought with January recording the most rainfall in over 20 years. The abundant rainfall continued into March, causing a modest delay in<br />budbreak, and pushing bloom back by two weeks. Increased soil moisture allowed for healthy vine growth and development. The summer, in turn, was warm and punctuated<br />by occasional heat waves. Despite Mother Nature's variability, favorable weather in August provided optimal conditions for fruit development and maturation. Superb flavors<br />and excellent ripening led to an earlier than expected harvest, which commenced on the 5th of September.<br /><br />The Opus One 2017 offers a harmonious aromatic balance of rich dark fruit, stems of roses, and earthy forest floor. The juicy entry offers a round, silky mouthfeel with just<br />enough acidity to complement the satin texture. This seductive wine shows flavors of black cassis, black cherry and a hint of cocoa powder. The fine-grained, plush tannins<br />evolve into a long, supple finish. A supremely age-worthy wine, it will delight now and for many years to come.<br /><br />Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 80%, Petit Verdot 9%, Cabernet Franc 5%, Merlot 5% and Malbec 1%<br /><br />Skin Contact: 20 days<br /><br />Barrel Aging: 17 months in new French oak<br />
