Jaboulet Domaine Ermitage Blanc
$119.99
Made entirely from roussanne, this legendary vineyard has built its reputation on a single hill that it shares with syrah plantings for the red Ermitage. Sheltered from northerly winds, this south-facing site receives good exposure to the sun while enjoying a Mediterranean climate. Roussanne is named after its ripe skin colour, a reddish-gold pigment that equates to the French word roux (red-brown). The variety is thought to have originated in the northern Rhône Valley, where the majority of modern-day plantings are found because it benefits from the warm temperatures and long sunlight hours it needs to achieve full maturity. The average age of the vines is 50 years. Lush melon, pear and apricot notes are underscored by a buttery vanilla note from the French barriques, with a floral whiff of honeysuckle through the finish. Ideal with wild salmon, halibut and roast chicken.

El Castro Valtuille Cepas Centenarias
$89.99
Produced by Raul Perez, one of Spain's greatest winemakers, from ancient pre-phylloxera vines in a single vineyard. Valtuille Cepas Centenarias represents one of the most recognized wines of the winery.
The first vintage of the wine was made in 1999.
For its production, they use grapes from a single plot of the sandy clay zone of the “Mata los Pardos” vineyard, one of the most valued and least productive of the town, from which the most elegant wines are obtained.
The plots, facing east, are plowed every year so as not to contaminate the soil. Its yield, barely reaches 4 bunches per vine.
Podere Forte Anfiteatro 2017
$274.99
The Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, encircles the Podere Forte. The estate was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, a visionary entrepreneur who has created a balanced system where every element complements the others, following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The old concept of the corte romana has been recreated on the 500-ha estate: a place where people, plants and animals coexist in harmony and sustainable self-sufficiency. Wine is the main focus, but Podere Forte is also synonymous with the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs, Chianina cattle and Suffolk sheep, as well as various other farm animals, all living on biodynamic feed. Podere Forte produces its own fertilizers and compost using vine prunings and fallen timber from the woods. The pigs eat acorns and chestnuts in the woods where they roam freely, the bees pollinate the flowers and aromatic herbs in the botanic garden where the hives are. The olive groves cover around 26 hectares and in 2020 production of the first varietal oil, from the Frantoio variety, started.
