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.

Fefiñanes III Año 2013

|  Comments
This wine, from the pioneers in the production and marketing of the Albariño grape in Galicia, is the culmination and the ultimate expression of this variety.  This is a wine of great character and in a style that is more mature than fruity.  It has a long-lingering aftertaste and a slight bitterness that gives it great depth.

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.

Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs

|  Comments
Marcel Ott, a young agronomist of Alsatian origin, established his wine business 120 years ago, in the firm belief that only the best land could produce the best wines. And, with that in mind, he sought out unique vineyard plots in one of the oldest wine regions in France - Provence.   Sun, sea, and limestone soil… Marcel wanted to revive an area...
