Berton Vineyards Reserve Barossa Shiraz

2021

Berton Vineyards Reserve Barossa Shiraz

The Berton Vineyard Reserve range brings together wines from regions that due to their distinct climate and soil have excelled at producing particular varieties. Predominantly made from the Barossa Valley this vintage, resulting in a rich, textured and drinkable Shiraz.

A blend of the Eden Valley vineyard and two vineyards in the Barossa Valley, this Reserve Shiraz was fermented in separate parcels, then pressed and left in stainless steel for malolactic fermentation, after which it was racked into barrel for approximately 12 months maturation in new and old French and American oak. The best barrels were then blended and filtered for bottling and a dash of High Eden Shiraz was added for extra complexity and spice.

Blason d'Issan Margaux AOC (Château d'Issan GCC 2nd wine)

2021

Blason d’Issan Margaux AOC (Château d’Issan GCC 2nd wine)

The history of Château d’Issan consists primarily of a long list of property transmissions and legacies. By inheritance and marriage, the estate has been handed down from owner to owner, and all of them have contributed in their own way to its renown and helped to forge its unique character. Over a period of nearly three centuries, the estate was passed down along a line involving a number of families with names such as Noailhan, Meyrac, Ségur, Salignac, de la Vergne, Escodeca de Boisse, etc. From 1575 onwards, the property was owned by five generations of the Essenault family, who ended up renaming it, contracting their name to “Issan” and thus Château d’Issan was born…

Blason d’Issan, the second wine, was introduced from 1995 onwards to enable selection amongst our vines growing in the Margaux appellation area. Fruit from the youngest vines is used to produce this wine, which respects the identity of its terroir, while offering a tasty round fruitiness, which can be enjoyed earlier.

Full of surprises, the profile of the 2021 vintage so far shows similarities with 2014. A sign of an excellent Cabernet vintage, the first tastings revealed a true balance between the density and elegance of the tannins.

Bodegas Vegalfaro Caprasia Bobal Ánfora

2021

Bodegas Vegalfaro Caprasia Bobal Ánfora

Andrés Valiente and his son Rodolfo formed Viñedos & Bodegas Vegalfaro in 1999. The name Vegalfaro comes from a combination of the word “vega,” meaning a lowland meadow or stretch of alluvial soil, with the historic name of their winery property, Casa Alfaro.

Bodegas Vegalfaro cultivates 60 hectares (148 acres) of low-yielding vines that fully conform to the strict requirements of Ecological Farming established by the European Union. The winery has never utilized artificial products in its vineyards, so soils are alive with a prolific variety of microfauna. These microscopic organisms are very important for the decomposition of organic material, as well as for the absorption of nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with the vine roots.

Caprasia in Iberian meant “the land of the goats.” The Caprasia brand pays tribute to a time when wild goats ran free and the native Iberian people practiced viticulture between the Sierra Cabrillas mountains and the Cabriel river. Situated at an altitud of 680m in the Vega del Rio Magro, this wine comes from a plot of red loamy clay soil adjoining the bodega and another small plot of limestone. The entire Bobal plantation is grown in the traditional bush vine style comprised of old vines with an average age of 85 years.

Certified organic.

Pago de Los Balagueses is Vegalfaro’s top-echelon wine brand, entirely sourced from one of only seventeen wine estates in Spain awarded the DOP Vino de Pago designation to date.

It is comparable to the French-wide Grand Cru system.
