Fleury Cepages Blanc de Blancs 2006

|  Comments
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.

This bottle of Gran Reserva cava encapsulates the work of an entire family. This is a wine with great finesse, subtle carbon dioxide and great breadth across the palate.  It boasts a personality and quality attained by very few.  A sip of authentic reflection.

Sons de Prades 2014

|  Comments
Many first wines would like to be of the quality of this second wine from the iconic Milmanda.   This is a more accessible wine with nice aromatic complexity, a blend of fruit and floral aromas, accompanied by subtle notes derived from its ageing.  It is fresh and smooth on the palate, preserving the fruity aromas and a balanced acidity.

Algueira Escalada 2014

|  Comments
This taut, vibrant wine comes from vineyards planted on high terraces, where the monks built their monasteries in the 12th century. It shows pronounced acidity and an austere and mineral character. This is a wine that will grow in the bottle. Give it a few years and you’ll be surprised how well it develops.

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!

This is a legendary wine, the wine of kings, and one of the oldest in the world. It is packed with aromas, including fruit compote, honey and citrus peel, and has exquisite volume and commendable acidity. A sensual treat!

Its old solera, which is over 30 years old, gives this wine the complexity necessary to place it among the best PX wines in Jerez. This wine is dense and tasty with intense aromas of “raisined” figs and dates with some roasted overtones. A small glass of this wine is a treat.

Château Climens 2010

|  Comments
This is one of the most famous wines from the tiny Barsac Sauternes appellation and was the first 1er Cru to obtain biodynamic certification (Ecocert). It is rich, aromatic and intense with lashing of honey and orange blossom. It is not at all cloying on the palate, thanks to the acidity created by the Botrytis.
