Fleury Cepages Blanc de Blancs 2006

Fleury is a pioneer in biodynamic growing in Champagne. This vintage stands out for its completely harmonious character.  It is vinous and fine, with notes of citrus peel and pastries. Deep rather than broad. A high-quality Champagne.

This wine comes from one of the most talented vignerons in Champagne, admired for his meticulous and environmentally-friendly work, both in the vineyards and in the winery.  Deep, ripe nose, with a big dose of red berries and light mineral overtones. Creaminess, fantastic acidity and great persistence.

Wardy Private Selection 2011

|  Comments
This wine is unique due to its origin, the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.  It displays an attractive red hue from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and lovely aromas from the Syrah. The nose is an explosion of plums, red fruit and spicy notes. The palate is intense and tasty with a delectable, velvety texture.

Dolç Adrià 2007

This is a sweet red wine made from over-ripe, organically-grown Syrah and Merlot grapes. It is packed with very ripe, dark forest fruit with hints of Mediterranean herbs.  It is great fun on the palate with a balanced play of tannin and sweetness.

Manzanilla La Gitana en Rama

|  Comments
This wine is made from Palomino Fino grapes grown in vineyard parcels considered to be the two best in Jerez, Balbiana and Miraflores.  This Manzanilla allows us to explore  the purity of a pared-back Manzanilla, which has gone from the butt to the glass without any treatment before bottling.

A textbook Oloroso, the result of impeccable work, with an array of concentrated sensations.  It is seductive and complex on the nose with aromas of coffee and cocoa against a backdrop of roasted notes and dried fruit and nuts. Good things come to those who wait.. Well done!
