Immich-Batterieberg

Immich-Batterieberg - Riesling Trocken Escheburg
Riesling from Mosel, Germany

Normally a blend of all four steep slope grand crus from Immich: Batterieberg, Zeppwingert, Ellergrub, and Steffensberg; but this year the Ellergrub fruit from blue slate dominates to scintillating effect. Mostly old and ungrafted vines — at least 60 years old — the vinous heritage of Germany...

Immich-Batterieberg - Riesling Trocken Batterieberg
Riesling from Mosel, Germany

The namesake vineyard of the estate, a Grand Cru created by blasting the toweringly steep cliff face to rubble in the 1840s. Grey slate, thin topsoil, perfect exposition, extremely old, pre-phylloxera vines on their original rootstock, and a legendary history makes this one of the living treasures...

Aligoté from Burgundy, France

Chevrot's aligoté comes from four parcels planted in 1970 and 1984. Two parcels have a gravel terroir and the other two have a sandstone terroir.

San Ferdinando - Ciliegiolo Rosso Toscana IGT
Ciliegiolo from Tuscany, Italy

Ciliegiolo, meaning “cherry-like”, is usually reserved as a blending grape. Bottled on its own, it shows remarkably bright red fruits and fresh acidity. There have been conflicting studies, but Ciliegiolo is either a parent or offspring of Sangiovese. San Ferdinando’s version comes from 1.7...
