Brumont Chateau Montus Madrian
$41.99
Chateau Montus is one of two estates led by Alain Brumont, one of the leading vignerons in Madiran. Alain Brumont bought Château Montus in 1980, on the basis of the terroir's reputation in the 18th century. With its large reddish pebbles, this terroir is one of the last traces of the beginning of the Pyrenees, dating back 40 million years. Today's Pyrenees deposit large black pebbles marbled with white in our rivers. Montus comes from steep slopes (20-40%) fully south-facing, intense sunshine, covered with large pebbles on yellow and red clay subsoil.
Marto Wines Weiss
$47.99
Marto Wörner burst on the scene after learning with natural wine royalty Gut Oggau and Matassa. He works his wines organically in the Rheinhessen, the largest of Germany’s 13 quality wines regions known for acid-driven and precise Muller Thurgau and Riesling. Here Marto leaves these classic grapes on their skins a touch longer for added texture and flavour. A complete non-interventionalist, this is made from native yeast with no filing and filtration and no added sulphur.
Rafael Palacios Louro do Bolo
$46.99
Louro do Bolo is fermented naturally in 35 hl foudres and aged on the fine lees for 4 months before bottling. The result is a wine that is clear and precise, with a fine minerality buried in a nicely textured base of fruit, it bears a resemblance to Chablis, in part due to its bracing minerality. It's 100% Godello from Galicia, Spain, and this winemaker is producing some of the most sought-after white wines in the country.
Rafael Palacios As Sortez
$103.99
As Sortes is made from old vines that are located within six parcels in the northern end of the Bibei Valley that were planted in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These parcels are worked organically with some elements of biodynamics as well. The grapes are fermented and aged in mostly used 500 L oak barrels for 8 months. It's very rare and is a contender for one of Spain's finest white wines.
Bisi Verdicchio Matelica Extra Brut
$38.99
Bisci is well known for its excellent Verdicchio and the sparkling version is also very good. It's made much like Prosecco using the Charmat (tank) method.
Blind Enthusiasm Astra Primursa
$13.79
6.1% ABV. Bottle.
From The Producer
"Astra Primursa is the third release in the Dry Hop Series. This blend of one, two, three and four year old mixed-fermentation barrels is a collision of two worlds: old world East Kent Goldings and new world Amarillo. These two wildly different hops meld delightfully to dry hop this beer. The result is juicy grapefruit, tropical starfruit, and marmalade hop character balanced by a full, round texture and medium-high acidity."
Blind Enthusiasm Sojourn in Sicily
$13.79
6.8% ABV. Bottle.
From The Producer
"Sojourn in Sicily is a Mixed Fermentation blend featuring unique characteristics imparted by Sicilian Marsala barrels. The beer fermented in the Marsala barrels for 20 months before being blended. This blend is the first led by our brewer Ian “Nar” Nawrot who has been with the brewery since the start. The result is a robust beer with subtle red berry and rose water aromatics, savoury walnut and maple flavours, which are amplified by a medium high acidity."
