Distiller's Description

"It is in this tradition that we would like to introduce the most important release in the history of The GlenAllachie Distillers Company; GlenAllachie 12 year old, the heart of our range, a landmark bottling. Our best casks selected and bottled under the careful eye of our Master Distiller Billy Walker."

Coca i Fito Garnatxa
$91.99

The vines are planted directly on the steep hillsides, on what are called "costers" or terraces A truly special and fascinating wine, full of nuances. Made quite traditionally from a severe selection of old-vine Grenache grapes. Clean and clear initial aromas of mature red fruits with local herbs, sweet spices, elegant yet fresh attack, enduring on the palate. Despite being from the 2014 vintage, the wine is still remarkably youthful, displaying the power that can be achieved from old-vine Grenache.

Foradori Teroldego
$48.99
Here is what Foradori importer Sedimentary Wines says about Elisabetta Foradori:
"Elisabetta was thrust into the wine-making scene at a very early age after the death of her father. It was 1985 and she had just graduated from high school. She had always been in touch with nature and when she took over the vineyards she began to replant her vineyards using massale selection – not because of any overriding grand plan- but because it felt right. It is largely thanks to these efforts by Elisabetta and a few other dedicated growers in the Mezzolombardo area of Trentino that the Teroldego grape has survived."
"We think Elisabetta Foradori makes the best Teroldego wines in the world. Her Foradori is a good introduction to Teroldego for people who have not had it before – the elegance of this wine – matches the elegance of its maker. Her two single-vineyard anfora aged Teroldegos (Sgarzon and Morei) are some of the most special wines in the world (unfortunately, they are made in minute quantities), and her Granato is arguably the top Teroldego wine in the world – it is a deep, dark, concentrated wine made only from her best grapes."

Duplessis Chablis 1er Vaillons
$87.99
The 2017 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru, has a tightly wound bouquet with Granny Smith apple, oyster shell and just a touch of dried apricot lending a mote of exoticism. The palate is very well balanced with quite a racy opeing, a linear and poised Vaillons full of tension with just a tang of lemongrass brightening up the finish. Very classy, though unlike the aromatics, the final half is quite understated for a Vaillons.
An assemblage of four plots exposed to the southeast on a clay-sandy soil. This seducer is kept from three to ten years. Its "exotic" nose and its wide and fruity mouth will take you by the feelings.
A family domaine for five generations now, Lilian is the latest vigneron of an estate created in 1895, taking over for his father Gerard in 1999. After going to school and internships in the region (“There was no point in making Sauvignon blanc in New Zealand, I needed to know how to work Chardonnay in Burgundy” he says), Lilian has turned the domaine into one of the very few organic estates in Chablis.
