Today, they can proudly take you on a journey through various methods of vinification and sparkling wine production using Glera grapes, to discover together that Prosecco can transcend traditional interpretations.
This graceful, fragrant Prosecco is the fruit of a selection of grapes from the finest vineyards in the zone of Cordignano, Sarmede, and Cappella Maggiore in the hills of Treviso.
Château Nénin is located in the village of Pomerol, one of the most prestigious areas of Bordeaux. The Domaine was bought by Jean-Hubert Delon in 1997 from his cousins, the Despujols, owners of the estate since 1847. Jean-Hubert had the intention of continuing the centuries-old tradition of the Château, and precisely for this reason, since immediately, extensive renovation and modernization works, including technical ones, were carried out. Under his direction, the land was in fact drained, the vineyards renewed and the cellars modernised, to improve the vinification and aging processes.
Fugue de Nénin was created and first sold in 1997. Fugue comes from sandy-clay soils found in the eastern part of the Château’s vineyards, as well as from the young vines. This second wine is a typical example of the charm of Pomerol. The wines are smooth and silky and can be enjoyed earlier than those of the Grand Vin.
2017 is a vintage presenting smooth Merlots and structures on the predominantly clayey parts of the Pomerol plateau, and more in finesse and roundness on gravelly-sandy terroirs. Cabernet Francs, once again more decisive on these same great terroirs, offer a pleasant balance to the blend of the first wine, combining power, elegance and complexity.

Gnarly Head wines began with a vision and a vine. In 2004, on a mission to make a serious Zinfandel, winemakers journeyed to Lodi in central California in search of the famed old vine Zinfandel vineyards. Grown in the head-trained, spur-pruned method for over a century, these vigorous gnarled vines produced more ripened red fruit than they had ever seen. They took it as a challenge to create the biggest, boldest Zinfandel they had ever made. The result was authentic, structured wines with a hint of something unexpected. Something Gnarly.
Channeling Gnarly Head’s signature fruit-driven style with concentrated black fruit flavors, Authentic Black is a dark, inky Petite Sirah-based blend designed to stand up to the season’s heartiest dishes. Fruit for this new, limited time only offering was sourced from Lodi, California with choice lots aged on oak for 12 months to craft a smooth, rich blend.
This Shiraz wine introduces a daring departure for Gnarly Head Wines, venturing beyond California to the old and gnarly vineyards of South Australia.
Inspired by the gnarled vines resembling wild bushes with twisted trunks and unruly branches, this Gnarly Head South Australia Shiraz embodies the essence of gnarly. Embark on a journey of boldness and adventure as we push boundaries and embrace the gnarly spirit.
Graf (Count) Johann IV von Katzenelenbogen was one of the founders of the success of the Riesling grape variety. In 1435, at his behest, vines of a then new, white variety called Riesling were planted.
The grapes for its production are grown on shale and alluvial soils located on the banks of the Rhine, under the influence of a mild, almost Mediterranean climate. The wine-making traditions of the region were laid in the monastic farms in the early Middle Ages.
The wine is named in honor of Count Rheingau – Johann IV Katzelenebogen, who in 1435 ordered to plant 22 vines of a new grape variety in one of his vineyards. The name of the new variety was Riesling. So Johann IV inscribed his name in the history of the greatest white grapes, and his possessions in the Rheingau are still called the “Riesling’s cradle”.

‘Hat Trick’ has a double meaning, basically this wine is the third in a row of the Lisbon cuvées from Santos Lima. A different blend and a completely unique character due to the ripening influence of the sun in combination with chalky soil and the eight months of wood aging. The ‘Hat Trick’ is the ‘newest’ wine produced by Santos Lima, after the Portuga and the Tarambola. The ‘hat trick’ is depicted literally on the label; ‘a trick from the top hat’.
