This certified organic Pinot Noir uses a range of clones, all hand-harvested. The grapes were crushed and put into open tanks and fermented with wild and inoculated yeasts. The fermenting wine and skins were hand plunged for 8–10 days. After ferment the wine was left on skins for 14 to 19 days before being pressed, settled and racked to tank. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for 10 months. It has lovely, lifted nose with red cherry and mocha notes combined with savoury, spicy aromas. On the palate, full fruit flavours of red cherry and raspberry. Savoury, gamey flavours with hints of leather balanced with long, elegant tannins add complexity to this wine which delivers a long elegant finish. This wine will continue to develop complexity over the next couple of years. Read Less

This small estate in Chateauneuf du Pape has a number of unique features: it is one of the few wines made by a female winemaker, Jaqueline Pierre Andre; it is one of a handful of Biodynamic wineries in the region; and it one of the few wineries that uses all 13 authorized grape varieties. The nose is elegant and soft with an ethereal aroma of crushed red berries (raspberry, cranberry and strawberry), truffles, warmed white pepper and black licorice. The palate is soft and supple on the initial attack, but the rich ripe fruit builds and is well-framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and chewy. Read Less

Colognole is based in the small Chianti Rufina region, which accounts for just 3% of total Chianti production (and 40% of this is produced by the Frescobaldi family). Rufina is known for possessing the highest elevation vineyards in Chianti which explains why it is slightly cooler than Classico. Read More

Rufina is known for possessing the highest elevation vineyards in Chianti which explains why it is slightly cooler than Classico. The wines are also known to be very age-worthy. Cherry fruit on the nose with darker fruit, light spice and earth on the palate. Extremely smooth and inviting with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and flawlessly married to just enough oak. Drink now or cellar for up to 8 years. Read Less

Bright pale pink leaning towards an onion skin colour. Supple aromas with elegant notes of strawberry, plus notes of grapefruit with a touch of aniseed. Strawberry notes on the mid-palate and a very pleasant raspberry flavour with a sweet sensation.

Planted in the seventies, makes it one of the oldest Merlot vineyards in the Languedoc! The winemaking followed a classic pattern without over-extraction. No oak was used, although the wine was aged in concrete tank for 20 months. Of course it is a Merlot, but it is primarily a wine from the domaine’s sandstone terroir: spicy smoky, with a great richness and smooth tannins. Read Less

Pinot Grigio is one of the top, internationally renowned Italian grape varietals and has become one the most highly regarded Italian white wines.

Starting in 2017, Pinot Grigio from Veneto has the option of being labeled as DOC, and Luigi Righetti chose to do so as a means of guaranteeing quality. Read Less
