Royal Tokaji 6 Puttonyos
$154.99
One of the world's truly great, and under-appreciated, sweet wines:
From owner and world-renowned wine writer Hugh Johnson: Nothing about wine moves me more than its ability to survive and express place and time, even through ordeals that seem ready to destroy it. Wine is a stage in a natural and inevitable process. We set it in motion when we plant a vine. The less we do to intervene with the behaviour of roots and leaves, soil, sun and rain, the better.”
Fine quality Aszú berries with good flavour, balance and perfect botrytis were macerated in fermenting must for two days. After pressing and finishing fermentation, the wines were filled into 300 and 500-litre Hungarian oak casks in our extensive, deep, underground cellars to mature for over two years. The final blends were carefully crafted in the spring of 2020.
Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. Sip as an aperitif, serve with fruit-based desserts or ha
Felsina Vin Santo
$83.99
The ancient tradition of Vin Santo is created using a “mother” (the thick substance remaining from previous vintages) from the previous year’s casks to the next. The process has been modernized through careful grape selection, attention to the drying process, and by adding the Sangiovese varietal to characterize Fèlsina’s signature style, as well as by meticulous care in vinification and ageing
After rigorous selection, the clusters are subjected to a natural drying process on mats, until January-February of the following year. They are then de-stemmed and pressed, and the must is transferred to sealed, 100- litre oak casks containing the “mother”. After 7 years in the “vinsantaia” loft area, the wine is bottle- aged for a minimum of 6 months. The flavour profile includes peach, apricot, pineapple and tropical dried fruit aromas. The natural acidity balances the wine so despite the sweetness the wine is never cloying. Great with apple or pumpkin pie.

Gerard Julien Cote de Nuits Armand
$91.99
Domaine Gérard Julien is located in Comblachien, just south of Nuits Saint Georges and dates back to the late 19th century. As Gérard continued to purchase more holdings in the 70’s and 80’s, he was able to grow the estate to roughly 10 hectares with parcels distributed in Nuits Villages, Nuits Saint Georges, and Echézeaux Grand Cru.
Étienne Julien, son of Gérard, assumed control of the estate in 2012 as winemaker. Being the fifth generation of the estate, he is introducing new methods to his winemaking while keeping the vision in line with previous generations, including organic viticulture. These wines exude another level of liveliness and energy.
Gobelsburg Gaisberg Reisling
$54.99
The very early history of the castle Gobelsburg and its vineyards is an unwritten story as with many similar estates in Austria. Archeological excavations in one of our vineyards (Grub) and during the extension of the chateau’s vaults have released many traces of settlements in the Eolithic, bronze and Iron Age, the Roman Empire and early medieval periods. Fast forward to January of 1996 when the estate and its vineyards were acquired by Willi Bründlmayer and Michael Moosbrugger through a long-term lease. Today the estate and winery are managed by Michael. Some of Austria’s finest vineyards belong to Schloss Gobelsburg, these being the vineyards on the terraced Heiligenstein and Gaisberg as well as the hollow site between the two hills, the Grub. The terroir of these hills and hollow sites are very diverse – each exemplifying their unique nuances. The hills have porous rocky soil containing mica-schist and gneiss, as well as basalt in some places on the Heiligenstein. The soil within the hollow is fertile loess 4 to 8 meters deep. On the adjoining lower sites there is loess and loam mixed with some brown and sandy soil. The Gobelsburg plateau which is south of the château, has vineyards that rest upon pebbles and gravel that were transported here by the “early Danube.” Additionally, there is a topsoil of about 0.5 to 1.0 meters consisting of black and loamy soil and loess.
Gunderloch Hasselbach Riesling
$24.99
Few of Germany’s vineyards are more revered than the richly historical ‘Roter Hang’, a picturesque set of steep slopes that rise above the Rhine between the towns of Nackenheim and Nierstein. Its ancient, very special iron-oxide-laced red shale and clayey soil known as Rotliegend has taken on an almost mythical status among wine aficionados. For six generations of the Gunderloch family, that deep tradition is simply and easily voiced as ‘home.’ The 28-hectare Rheinhessen estate and distinctive residence, the Haus am Rothenberg, are the cradle for clear, mineral-driven wines that reflect the family’s unique blend of experience and ingenuity. Working primarily with Riesling but also cultivating regional specialties such as the Pinot varieties and Silvaner, each bottle is an expression of the family’s dedication to the Rothenberg. Each glass reflects their exploration of its character: a marvelous mix of balance, power, and elegance.
