8.3g/l RS and 8.5g/l acidity. The Muller Estate Trocken comes this year from old vines from 1983 at the top of the Niedermenniger Herrenberg, a red slate site. Vinified dry in 2/3 stainless steel, 1/3 Fuder barrels. Energetic, crunchy, mineral, and far more serious a wine than it has to be -- as...

70g/l RS, 10.5g acid, 8% alc. Harvested on 75-year-old un-grafted vines in the southfacing Fossem part of the vineyard, and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. Yields are miniscule at 20hl/ha. 

100% Ortrugo. Massimiliano Croci refers to his steep, southeast-facing hillside vineyard as a “beach”: the soils (terre dei fossili piacenzano) are crumbly, sandy clay, full of disintegrating, limestone-rich marine fossils. “Lubigo” translates as “landslide” and is the name of the Ortrugo parcel in...

From 0.8ha between two crus, Marcarini and Casot, both with the commune of Treiso, at 350m. The oldest vines were planted in 1980 and the youngest in 2012.  Marcarini is exposed to the southeast whereas Casot faces southwest. 

Nestled in the hills of the Yamhill-Carlton appellation, Nicolas-Jay’s Bishop Creek Vineyard spans 13.5 acres, 11 planted to Pinot Noir. The majority of the vines were planted between 1988 and 1990 and are own-rooted. Elevations range from 270 to 600 feet, with predominantly North–South plantings...

"Own-Rooted" Pinot Noir showcases three old-vine sites in the Willamette Valley, each with vines still on their original rootstock and aged at least 30 years. Bishop Creek Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton contributes a portion of the blend, offering its characteristic dense structure and black fruit....

L’Ensemble Pinot Noir is the flagship bottling from Domaine Nicolas-Jay, created by Jean-Nicolas Méo to showcase the most expressive parcels from the Willamette Valley vineyards the estate has worked with over the years. The cuvée is drawn from the top barrels of each site and blended to emphasize...

From a single parcel on the right side of the Danube with Ambrositsch’s oldest vines, planted in the 1950’s. It’s a mix of ancient varieties that are not known and twelve that are familiar, some of them rare. Brenna Quigley, a renowned geologist, explained in a recent AWMB seminar that these marl...

A combination of second press juice from all of the white wine holdings covering the entire four hectares. Because this includes everything from the five-year old vines of Kosmopolit to the old-vine field blend from Ringelspiel planted in 1950s, it’s considerably more serious than most wine bottled...

Mainly Riesling, Welschriesling and Zierfandler made in one 750-litre barrel with minimal intervention. A slightly cooler cellar corner, a little more air contact, no filtration, no added sulphur; the finished result was a wine completely different to that of previous years. Innocent, almost clear...

Previously called “Riesling Rosengartel”, the name changed to “Utopie” with the 2017 vintage. The Rosengartl vineyard is a legendary site for Riesling. It is on the right bank of the Danube on the famous Nussberg hill, a south-facing limestone slope that has great views of Vienna. Ambrositsch has...

This is one of the most recent parcels purchased by the winery in 2013, thanks to their son Vivian. The vines are 25 years-old an planted on an incredibly steep slope. Working here is harrowing to say the least and everything must be done by hand. It's very hard work, but the terroir is exceptional...

Cabernet Franc from Barrow Vineyard, a site purchased by Kim and Debra in 2013 on the east side of Seneca Lake. The Bloomers planted this Cabernet Franc parcel in 2015 on a steep, rocky hillside. The Barrow bottling undergoes the same cellar protocol as the Morehouse Road Cab Franc - fermented with...

The Blue Cap Edelzwicker bottling is a blend of Cayuga White (50%), Riesling (46%), and Gewürztraminer (4%) from Bloomer Creek's Auten and Morehouse Road Vineyards. Cayuga White is a semi-aromatic hybrid variety that thrives in the Finger Lakes region due to its high resistance to frost and vine...
