100% Teroldego. Local dialect for "vine shoot", "Sgarzon" is a cooler, sandier 2.5 hectares of vines on the Campo Rotaliano plateau near the winery in the foothills of the Dolomites. Elisabetta planted the vines in guyot from massale cuttings in 1984. The farming is certified-biodynamic and the...

70% Teroldego/15% Schiava/10% Lagrein/5% Merlot. Lezèr ("light" in local dialect) was a new wine born of the challenging 2017 vintage, when Foradori's Teroldego crop was roughed up by a summer hailstorm. The remains were turned into this short-maceration red wine, named for its light color and body...

The wines that first propelled Steve's interest in working with Gamay were mainly from Beaujolais; however, Barsotti Ranch, his source for this wine, is essentially a high desert, at 1000 meters in elevation, and the growing season is so much less circumscribed here, than in, say, Morgon.  ...

Syrah (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) from two different slopes at Renaissance Vineyard in North Yuba. These low-yielding vines are own-rooted and 40+ years old, all farming is organic, no till, and dry farmed. The fruit was foot stomped and fermented with stems, then matured in used barrels for 36...

Blanco de Tinto is made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Renaissance Vineyard in North Yuba. Dani harvested the grapes into small boxes to avoid grapes breaking and extracting color from the skins. The grapes are pressed very gently over the course of hours, once again in order to extract very...

100% Gamay. Grapes from most of Roilette's oldest vines go into the "Cuvée Tardive" bottling, but a small portion of them dating back to 1930 are reserved for the smallest of all Roilette production, La Griffe du Marquis, the only barrique-aged wine from this cellar. As for the other estate vines,...

100% Gamay. "Cuvée Christie" is an exception among Roilette estate wines in a few ways. It is the newest bottling, the first vintage having been in 1999. The vines are "young" for Roilette, mainly in the 30-40-year range. They are not part of the original Clos de la Roilette vineyard and thus, more...

The Vijariego Negro, the red variant of the more widely-planted white grape Viajriego Blanco was founded on the island of El Hierro--recuperated by Juan Jesus himself. Now, grapes for this cuvee are grown at the Laderas de Teno plot which is in a secluded area of La Guacha (northwest Tenerife)....

A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo. The wine ferments in the original wooden vats present at the winery since its foundation.

100% Cabernet Franc. Les Barnabés stands apart from Raffault's other main sites, Les Picasses and Les Peuilles, still in the Véron region but far to the west and downhill on a plain of alluvial soils near the Loire River. The sandy, gravelly site yields a lighter style of Cabernet Franc more...
