Calvados 8 ans d'age futs...
TYPOLOGY: Calvados Pays d'Auge A.O.C. - ' Reserve du Château 8 Ans futs Sauternes '.<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Pont- l'Évêque - Normandy<br /><br />RAW MATERIAL: Apples (from mainly small trees).<br /><br />DISTILLATION: Before obtaining the cider, the apples undergo blending and pressing, they are carefully washed and treated to extract the pulp of the fruit on the one hand,<br />and the must on the other, which must macerate for at least 6 weeks before reaching the alcohol content required for distillation, i.e. 4.5% vol. minimum.Double distillation,<br />carried out strictly with discontinuous copper stills.<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: Clayey soil, rich in nitrogen and potassium.<br /><br />COLOUR: Brilliant and luminous<br /><br />BOUQUET: Soft and fruity, with wonderful aromas of walnut, unripe hazelnut, fresh almond and vanilla<br /><br />FLAVOUR: In tasting, the apple remains very present, and the aftertaste is long and exceptional<br /><br />AGEING: It is aged in French oak barrels for at least 8 years and then carefully blended before bottling. As far as ageing is concerned, Calvados is very similar to the<br />classification of Cognac and Armagnac and just as with these spirits, only the age of the youngest distillate counts. If one mixes a 2-year-old calvados with a 30-year-old,<br />the final product has two years of ageing. This detail is important, because like brandies, Calvados is a blend of different vintages and distillates in terms of type and age.<br />What matters to the master distiller is the final product, so he tries to blend to find balance and finesse.<br />

Brandy Garofoli 12 anni 70cl
Brandy over 12 years<br /><br />The base is a single-varietal wine from a single vintage, 2003. The Montepulciano grapes were selected, harvested and vinified specifically for this production. The raw<br />material was distilled using a discontinuous bain-marie still in water diffusion. The passage of years, the balanced use of small oak casks and the magic of the microclimate<br />make this Brandy an exceptional product.<br /><br />Processing and refinement<br />The Brandy was distilled in 2003 from a wine specially vinified for this production. In 2004 the Brandy was aged in small, medium-toasted Allier oak barrels, previously used<br />to age Chardonnay wine. The Brandy remains in these barrels until 2012 when it is bottled and then left to rest in the bottle for a further 3 years. Finally, after 12 years from<br />the grape harvest, our Brandy is ready to be tasted.<br /><br />Colour: pale amber.<br />Nose: elegant woody floral notes, with hints of vanilla, sweet spices and dried fruit.<br />Taste: warm and enveloping sip, it introduces a pleasant texture<br />that conquers with an 'aroma of refinement' and softness.<br />Alchol: 43% vol.<br />Serving temperature: 16° - 18° C<br />

Drouin Pays d'ague Reserve...
Drouin Pays D'Auge Reserve<br />Drouin France<br /><br />70 cl / 40 °<br />Typology: Calvados<br />Raw material: Apples<br />Fermentation: Indigenous yeasts<br />Method of production: Charentais Alembic<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it is different:<br />We could call Drouin Pays D'auge the grand cru of the Calvados appellation, with very strict rules. The Réserve is made like all Drouin calvados: harvesting of the 30 apple<br />varieties and reaching maturity, champagne-style soft pressing with yields reduced to 65% to preserve the fragrance and freshness of the juice, spontaneous fermentation<br />with indigenous yeasts. The ciders for distillation are the youngest ones, which remain in stainless steel vats for several months, at least 5. They are fresh and fruity<br />fermented, not overly complex, and ideal for the production of distillates for short ageing. Distillation takes place in the traditional copper Charentais still, ageing in French<br />oak barrels for 4 years.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed neat in a tulip glass. Excellent when paired with chocolate desserts or a classic apple and pear cake.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Fermentation is a key process in the production of all Christian Drouin spirits: it all happens naturally with the distillery's indigenous yeasts. The freshly pressed juice<br />reaches the stainless steel vats, where it ferments and rests for at least 5 months, but in some cases up to 1 year. Based on the fermentation time, it is already clear what<br />type of calvados can be obtained. Those obtained from young ciders will be ideal for the distillation of younger, fresh and fruity calvados. The more mature and evolved ciders<br />are distilled from June onwards, but in some cases also in the autumn following the harvest, resulting in very complex and rich distillates, ideal for long ageing, particularly<br />for vintage wines.<br />

Brandy C.Mendoza Jubilee 700ml
The Jubilee year is called every fifty years and is a time for forgiveness. It stands as a reminder of God's providence and mercy. The dedication of a year for this emphasis<br />provides the community with a time to come back into right relationship with one another and with God.<br /><br />The Jubilee of Mercy that Pope Francis has called, from December 8, 2015 - November 20, 2016, is an Extraordinary Jubilee. This designation as an 'Extraordinary<br />Jubilee' sets it apart from the ordinary cycle of jubilees, or holy years, which are called every 25 years in the Catholic Church.<br /><br />By calling for a holy year outside of the normal cycle, a particular event or theme is emphasized. For example, Pope Francis called this particular Extraordinary Jubilee of<br />Mercy to direct our attention and actions 'on mercy so that we may become a more effective sign of the Father's actions in our lives . . . a time when the witness of<br />believers might grow stronger and more effective.<br /><br />Sánchez Romate Hnos will commemorate this extraordinary event with a limited edition of Brandy Cardenal Mendoza.<br /><br />So we invited Steve Simpson, an artist with over 30 years' experience in hand-lettered packaging design, whimsical characters, and illustrated barcodes, to Bodegas<br />Sánchez Romate Hermanos. Steve's distinctive style, inspired by the arts & crafts movement, 50s advertising and folk art, has appeared on everything from a 1' postage<br />stamp to a 200ft screen in Times Square.<br /><br />Steve dedicated nine months to the design and collaborated with art director Luis Vazquez to design the front & back labels, neck wrap, illustrated barcode and illustrated<br />canister. Taking as a starting point the iconic Brandy Cardenal Mendoza classic, he develops his personal graphic world in a version of the label of Cardinal Mendoza, where<br />he plays with the rationales and elements of the classical label to give his vision of the same.<br /><br />In addition, for the gift box, he proposes a map or guide to Rome for the Jubilee year, pointing to the four major Basilicas where Jubilee can be celebrated.<br />
