Sommerach Silvaner Kabinett
$29.99
The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach have had one credo which they have abided by since the winery was established in 1901: Unity is strength. At the beginning of the 20th century, 35 families, all steeped in viticulture for generations, came together out of economic necessity and founded Winzer Sommerach. Since then, a common vision has determined the path of these wine-growing families. Today they pay tribute to all the families out of respect, who, despite an uncertain future, have established the oldest wine cooperative in Franken. An imposing northward-facing stone gable from the old days continues to characterize the old town, reminding the winemakers of their roots, which informs their actions today. The winemakers of Winzer Sommerach are steeped in tradition, but at the same time, they are open-minded and innovative. The past is linked to the future at this winery. Fast-moving trends are passed over in favor of sustainable methods. Even if “genuine craftsmanship” sounds like a concept from the distant past, it perfectly describes the approach of the 90 winemaking families to their work, and is a guarantee of lasting success. This philosophy has passed from generation to generation, with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, driving ambition to be among the best in the industry, and lastly, love of the work. This dedication to the art of winemaking is what makes the estate of Winzer Sommerach truly unique. The skill of the winemaker in conjunction with the terroir are responsible for the quality of a wine, and the winemakers are very grateful to be able to continue the work of their founding fathers with great potential for the future.
Hansel Cahill Lane Pinot Noir 2021
$79.99
Year after year, the Cahill Lane Pinot Noir offers a consistently delicious red, full of red fruit along with floral and spice notes plus a silky, elegant texture.
Stephen Hansel has this to say about Cahill Lane's Pinot Noir: "A blend of 3 clones, clone 114, clone 115, and the Rochioli Pommard clone, are grown each on its own one acre site. The vines were planted in 1989 and are in their peak, quality wise. The Rochioli pommard and the clone 115 contribute red berry and cherry flavors and the clone 114 adds a dimension of herbal flavors giving Cahill Lane an Old world character."
