Dive into this month's Wine Club delight: Explore the world of fine wines with 4 exceptional selections, spanning Bordeaux to California and embracing the spirit of solidarity with 2 exclusive wines from Israel. 🥂 CHATEAU CANTENAC BROWN - the rare and prestigious Kosher Cuvee from Margaux. Only the second time produced, this 2018 vintage boasts an incredible aging potential, a true gem for connoisseurs. Hajdu Montepulciano 2021 - Only 900 bottles were produced, and we managed to secure a tiny allocation for our Wine Club Members. Flam Winery White Label. This is a Syrah-based blend, very full-bodied and a very elegant wine. A very small amount was produced, and a tiny allocation arrived in the UK. Matar Blanc De Noir Traditional Method Sparkling Wine, made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, aged for 18 months; this is a real great Champagne-style wine, maybe the best one coming out of Israel. Only 72 bottles made it to the UK – a true Champagne-style rarity.

Vintage sherries (vinos de añada sherry).This photo is an introduction to vintage wines. The Denomination of Origin Jerez-Xérèz-Sherry also allow for the use of the "añadas", or vintage system. This is a static ageing system (as opposed to the dynamic criadera and solera system) in which sherry wines from a specific harvest are separately aged and at no time blended with other wines from different years.  Some wineries have opted for this system, obtaining wines that differ from the soleras and criaderas system.

Interesting Pinot Noir tasting It's been a while, but the time had finally come. This time we decided to organize a tasting around Pinot Noir from various interesting regions. Pinot Noir is a versatile, generally cool-climate grape that can often give a good expression of the terroir. Naturally, Pinot Noir is queen in Burgundy, where we can find the very best wines. Martin Schwarz – Spätburgunder-Portugieser 2017 The small region of Saxony is located in deep Germany. Here we find the Martin Schwarz vineyard with 6 hectares of vineyards on the steep slopes along the Saxon Wine Route. Wine management here is completely manual, partly because of the steep slopes. Bernard Rion Beaune 2020 It was in 1896 that the history of Domaine Armelle and Bernard Rion began. It was founded in Vosne Romanée and since then the know-how has been passed on from generation to generation. The 3rd generation of winemakers has now taken over and they are working the 9.5 hectares of vines in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. https://lnkd.in/eCDF7kBP

📝 A fascinating wine from Sardinia, with aromas of smoke and oyster shell, herby flavors and bright fruit, great freshness and a long finish. This would make for a magical pairing with sushi or oysters. 🍷 This is the tasting note elaborated by our jury for the selected wine of IOLEI WINERY.

Have you ever wondered why different wine bottles are different shapes? Put simply, wine bottles were traditionally shaped to signify the region that the wine grapes originated from and therefore the grapes that were grown in that region. Here's a little breakdown for you: 1. The Bordeaux: the most common wine bottle shape, these originated from Bordeaux, France and are typically used for Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. 2. The Burgundy: originally from Burgundy, France these are commonly used for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 3. The Rhone: originating from Rhone Valley, France, these are similar to the Burgundy but slightly taller, with a longer neck and are commonly used for Grenache, Mourvedre, Viognier, Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne. 4. The Champagne: similar to the Burgundy but made from thicker and heavier glass. This bottle is perhaps the most commonly recognised as being specifically used for Champagne and Sparkling Wine. 5. The Alsace/Rhine: this bottle comes from the shifting borders between Germany and France originally and is most commonly used for Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Gruner Veltliner. #peppergreenestate #southernhighlands #wine #extravirginoliveoil

🍾 No Dom Perignon for 2023 🍾 🔸 In Champagne, non-vintage sparkling wine is the norm, made by blending wines from various years. However, Dom Pérignon exclusively produces vintage Champagne from a single harvest. Unlike other producers who can supplement their base wine stocks in less favorable years, Dom Pérignon does not release a vintage unless it meets their high standards. In 2023, after the full harvest and fermentation process, cellar master Vincent Chaperon determined that the vintage did not meet the required quality, and the entire cellar of base wine was rejected. This marks the fourth time this century that Dom Pérignon has scrapped a vintage, with previous omissions in 2001, 2011, and 2014. 🔸 The 2023 vintage began like any other, with grapes sourced from approximately 1,000 plots across 15 grand crus and 10 premier crus in Champagne. Despite the involvement of thousands in grape harvesting and winemaking, the final blend and selection process is managed by a small team, with Chaperon making the ultimate decision. As in previous years, his judgment led to the decision not to release a Dom Pérignon from the 2023 vintage. 🔸 More on the world of wine at www.Somm.Site. #business #wine #hospitality #sales #marketing #beverage #learning #management

#MomentBehindTheWines 📍 Terrazas de los Andes, Mendoza, Argentina Maison Terrazas de los Andes received scores from the renowned British critic Tim Atkin for its most prestigious mountain wines. These four wines, which make up and tell the story of Terrazas de los Andes' Ascension Journey, have been selected among the best wines of the year. Furthermore, their iconic wine, Terrazas de los Andes Extremo Malbec 2021, is ranked among the top 7 wines in Argentina. "Lucas LÖWI describes growing grapes at 1,650 metres in El Espinillo as extreme viticulture, but the risk is worth the reward in most vintages. This is a thrilling, stunning Malbec that ranks alongside Argentina’s very best: refreshing, focused and medium-bodied with thyme, rosemary and jarilla aromas, subtle 30% new oak, lots of racy acidity and flavours of pepper, sage, bramble and black cherry. World class" Drink responsibly, do not forward to those underages. #MoëtHennessyWineEstates #MHWE #MoëtHennessy #LVMH
