Knewitz Riesling Rose

Le Loup 2018 red wine

€25.00

These Grenache grapes are carefully selected from Philippe Brand’s friend’s biodynamic vineyard in the south of France. They are then taken back to Alsace where they have undergone semi carbonic maceration. When blended together, you get this concentrated cherries and sour plum mix, which is balanced by the prominent acidity. This wine suits anyone who enjoys a light red, berry explosion, with some additional depth of a skin contact orange wine.
Best served with a slight chill and should be consumed within an hour of opening, so this is a great one to bring along for a dinner party.

La Chimere 2015/17 white wine

€24.00

This is an exciting wine made from Riesling that comes from the same vineyard plot, but grapes that were harvested in 2015 and 2017. Winemaker Philippe Brand decided to blend the 2 vintages together which evolved into this petrol nosed, medium-bodied, kiwi and rich honey melon wine. Beautifully balanced with the acidity and the fresh finish continuing to travel.

This wine is great for people who like a traditional Riesling, made naturally and with an exciting edge to it. Once opened, it will last a day or two in the fridge. Recommended decanting beforehand.

Viaudiere Crémant de Loire Blanc 0.75L

€29.00

 

 

Chardonnay 10% & Chenin grapes 90%
Drink 2019 - 2022.
Serve at 7°C.

Organic wine. 

Crémant de Loire is a Traditional Method (formerly called Champenoise Method). To deserve this designation, the grapes must be harvested by hand in crates and pressed according to a specific program to keep only the best of the juice. At La Viaudière, they mainly use Chardonnay and a little bit of Chenin to compose what is now a classic vintage. The Chenin will give its structure to the wine and the Chardonnay, its fruit, its fine bubbles, and its elegance. This Crémant de Loire Blanc is an ideal companion for sweet evenings with friends or family. We also recommend it to celebrate a great event: wedding, baptism, communion or birthday ... It will delight your guests by bringing friendliness and freshness.

Clean, crisp, and fruit-forward. Very refreshing, light nose with some fruits, pear, and peach, subtle mineralogy, good bubbles but not overly aggressive, long lingering fruit finish. Dry, medium body, light complexity, but balanced.

Retenez Son Nom Sous Voile 2015

€26.00

Philippe Brand

Domaine Brand & Fils - Ergersheim, Alsace

100% Sylvaner - 14% abv

If you love oxidized wines, then this Sylvaner is for you.

Just to break down the winemaking process. The tank was not filled all the way to the top with wine, which then caused a natural exposure to oxygen. It took 2 years for the wine to ferment and in the end, the layer of yeast (flor) protected the wine from oxidation. After five years of aging, it was then ready to be bottled.

Expect lots of nutty, honey, exotic fruits, and clean, flowing acidity on the palate with of course a powerful oxidative aroma and a rich golden colour in the glass. 

This wine should be decanted before serving and lasts at least 4 days open.

Perfect with a hard cheese like Comtè or pairing it with a sweet dessert at your Christmas or Easter dinner.
