Madiera Rainwater Reserva
$39.99
Keller Riesling Limestone
$64.99
From the owners: Klaus-Peter Keller: We are a small family business with top vineyard sites. Three generations live under one roof and are inspired by the same idea: bringing the taste of the individual vineyard into the bottle. This makes us happy because we like to drink it ourselves.
From us: In Germany's fine wine world, only Egon Mueller carries a reputation with as much prestige as Keller. Their wines are elusive and ethereal, with amazing longevity and concentration. They, along with producers like Wittmann and St. Antony (we carry both), redefined the Rheinhessen, proving that they can produce wines that can rival or better anything in the country.
Mas des Cabres Estive Blanc
$28.99
Located in the foothills of the Cévennes mountains, Mas des Cabres makes unique wines that reflect their specific limestone and red clay terroir, located where the Languedoc comes together with the Rhône Valley. Their philosophy is to minimize intervention from the vines to the cellar, so as to let the wines express their true nature. The name Mas des Cabres comes from the name of the central lieu-dit where the vineyards are situated. Cabres is the Occitan word for the goats that were bred in this area in the 18th century. The domaine has been farming organically since 2019.
Sketta Grecanico
$34.99
Angelo Paternò, the patriarch of Cantina Marilina (Sketta), worked for decades at large commercial wineries on Italy’s southern island, Sicily. He eventually saved up enough to purchase a 60-hectare organic farm in the province of Siracusa. The shining white calcareous soils and gentle slope told him this was amongst the best sites he’d ever seen, the ideal location to build a life with his family.
JL Denois Brut Rose
$34.99
Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Southwest France is the coolest climate and highest elevation appellation in the Languedoc: Limoux. There, outside the lofty Medieval village of Roquetaillade, lives Limoux's most famous vigneron, Jean-Louis Denois, the gentleman responsible for bringing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to this ideal terroir in the 80’s. His eponymous domaine, founded after he sold his first Limoux project Domaine de l’Aigle to Gerard Bertrand twenty years back, includes 15 hectares of vines at 400-500 meters above sea level on limestone and clay soils. Denois quickly rose to prominence in France for offering incredible bubbles at incredible prices. His crémants used the finest techniques and clones of Champagne without the same price tag, earning the regard of leading Champagne experts like Jancis Robinson who deemed the wines “a little fruitier, more opulent, and less obviously lees-aged than the best champagnes but infinitely better than cheap champagne” by the turn of the millennium. The wines have only continued on their path to terroir singularity and deliciousness over these last twenty years.
