Winemaker Notes

Dehesa Gago is an honest representation of the viticulture and the vineyards of Spain’s most continental wine appellation. We seek to offer the greatest fluidity and freshness of this extreme place. 

Since 1998 we work with 8 families of growers practising traditional viticulture. Vineyards planted in low density, 100% bushvines. Manual harvest in boxes. Tertiary sandstone alternating with Quaternary gravel terraces. In general, soils with a sandy-loam texture and poor in organic matter.

This wine is bold and frank with notes of blackberries, plums, figs and cassis.

Poujeaux is a wine that I often hold up as classic example of what the Médoc can achieve, and here again it's a huge success. It has a beautiful nose, with vibrant and well extracted brambly dark fruits on the palate - but not so much that it feels like it's pushing too hard. It's an architectural wine, a more classic take on the vintage, but for me this is where the money is in Moulis. It takes its time to unravel, and the heat of the summer comes through in its rich, ripe mouthfeel. The tannins close in on the finish, which has a menthol and eucalyptus edge that suggests a long life ahead.

Winemaker Notes

Coming from special vineyard sites, our Chardonnays show great depth of flavor, length of finish, aromatic complexity, and a fine balance between richness and delicacy. Typically, the climate is cool and the soil vigor low, producing graceful yet vibrant wines. - David Ramey

Eric Asimov, The New York Times:

David Ramey is one of the wise men of the modern California wine industry. He’s had 40-plus years in the business, making wine for others and for Ramey Wine Cellars, his family label. This succulent, energetic chardonnay from selected vineyards in the Russian River Valley is a picture of balance and harmony, tightly wound with floral, herbal and lively fruit flavors.

Full bottle 1,365 g. Demeter certified biodynamic. From the vineyard just below Grand Cru Furstentum. Quite some fruity sweetness on the palate plus real energy. Polished, smooth texture and a little dry pungency on the finish. This is far from the most opulently varietal Gewurz, and seems to communicate vineyard more than variety. Really quite long. Lots of smoky undertow. Serve cool, with something salty and savoury – charcuterie?

Winemaking Notes

These vines naturally produce low yields due to a combination of unique orientation, free drainage and high exposure. Together with this, the soil has a far greater prevalence of ironstone pebbles than any other part of the vineyard and delivers wine with great concentration and savoury tannic presence.

Always unique, the 2019 Ferrous opens on the savoury side with iron, clove, allspice, and lavender. Fruity and floral notes appear, displaying flavours of cranberry, orange zest, violets and cherry, while whole-bunch aromas add complexity. There is gentle power to the palate with an attractive combination of savoury flavours and purple fruits. The ultra-fine tannins offer a pleasingly dry, moreish spiciness, leading to a long and sustained finish of black cherry and lifted florals. While the wine can be enjoyed now, it demands cellaring to show its full potential.

Winemaker Notes

A terroir from which world-renowned sweet wines are produced, the Chaume 1^er Cru and Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru appellations also have the capacity to produce great dry whites. The Ronceray cuvée refers to the Abbey of the same name, owner of the Chaume vineyard from the 11^th century. Until the French revolution the lords of Haute-Guerche, farming this vineyard, were paying the nuns with "the best quarter of the harvest"... The "Quarts-de-Chaume" name was born.

Ronceray is a complex wine, resulting from the blend of our plots on the rump of Quarts-de-Chaume. A terroir with complex geology, the marriage of shales and pudding sandstones gives this cuvée a sharp minerality and a floral and fruity richness. A fine bitterness, signature of this terroir, brings complexity and length on the palate.

This wine comes from the first certified organic estate in the Loire Valley and in 2021 they will be fully biodynamic certified as well. The wines are made from 10 hectares worth of Sauvignon Blanc planted around the winery, which is located in the village of Saint Andelain on the east side of the Loire (facing Sancerre). Biodynamic practices are taken within the vineyard and winery and the wines are naturally fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in either vat, barrique or amphora. 

The vines for this wine are grown in limestone. The wine has a very fresh nose with mineral notes to it. This mineral sensation continues on the palate; the wine is fresh and elegant with  an abundance of citrus fruit.

92 Points, Rebecca Gibb (Vinous)

The 2019 Sancerre Caillotttes is a very pure wine that might be full in body and seamless in texture but displays a light touch. The wine coats the palate with a powdery texture, as if it were a red wine. The long finish is redolent of gunsmoke and almond.

A classic Felton Road nose of dark blossoms: rose and violet with a compote of dark fruits. The mid-palate is just screaming Felton Road. Black cherries and cream on the nose introduced cherry crumble on the palate with baked spices. Very harmonious for a wine so young, but a brooding undertow reveals the intrinsic power of the wine. Four Bannockburn vineyards seamlessly integrating to provide many layers and textures.

100% Pinot Noir from vines that average 38 year old. The grapes come from the best plots, and this cuvée includes reserve wine from three years back. It is only made in the best years. The aging is adapted to each vintage, between 3 and 8 years. Generous and age-worthy, the Noir is a reflection of the distinguished terroir of Les Riceys. It is incredibly balanced, with aromas that are both fruity and spicy. On the palate, hint of citrus fruit and spices and a long, nutty finish. Dosage: 3gr/l.

Not the biggest white wine cuvée at Maison Champy at only 25 barrels, but this 1ha parcel planted in the 1970s has produced a very stylish, saline, focused Chardonnay in the heat of 2018, with sweet vanilla-spicy oak, subtle gunflint aromas and a core of fresh, tangy, citrus and lime fruit.

Winemaker Notes

These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. This wine is aged in a 350-barrel and a 228-litre used barrel. The wine is open and intense on the nose with notes of orange and grapefruit. The attack is fresh and supple. A well-balanced and concentrated wine with good mineral length on the finish.

Short-pruned 40-50 year old vines from the "Wolfreben" lieu-dit in the Kaysersberg valley between the Clos des Capucins and the village of Kaysersberg. The soil is sand-silt on granite pebbles. The grapes growing on this terroir ripen early and produce wines with powerful concentration. Aged in large, old oak vats for 8–10 months. RS 11.6 g/l, TA 3.6 g/l, pH 3.7.
Seductive, pungent, rich nose suggestive of both cream and lychees. Luscious mid palate but finishes dry. Surprisingly appetising and contained – and characteristically varietal. Satin-smooth on the palate and, I would imagine, very versatile at the table.

12% alcohol. A blend of Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) from eight crus. 20% fermented in used French oak barrels. Eight years on lees followed by 16 months post-disgorgement aging (something Bruno insists on). Disgorged in March 2020 with a typically low dosage of 4.5g/litre. This has a beguiling aromatic nose with some honey, marzipan, nut and toast, but leaving room for the vibrant fruity notes of cherry, apple and lemon. There’s lovely acidity on the palate that isn’t obscured by too much dosage, and it breathes life into the cherry, table grape and lemony fruit, with some orange peel and almond nuts, as well as a tapering lemony finish with a hint of seaweed and oyster shell. Complex, covering lots of different layers of the flavour spectrum, finishing assertive and bright. A serious effort.

Winemaking Notes

Winemaker Catherine Fuller is a master of biodynamics, growing her vines sustainably and gracefully to produce wines of prestige and elegance. Domaine Weinbach's "RB0" (Riesling de la Butte de Calvaire) represents one of the estate's forays into crafting natural wines with zero alterations, preservatives or additions in the winery.

Like the other wines in the '0' series, this drop is made from grapes grown in vineyards more recently acquired by the estate and in conversion to biodynamics. This particular parcel is located on the southern tip of the famed Mamburg Grand Cru site, producing outstanding fruit.

Winemaker Notes

This single-block wine is sourced from a 0.75 ha plot that is, as the name suggests, the most sheltered of Kooyong’s vineyards. The lack of exposure to strong winds allows the vines to keep a rich green canopy until comparatively late in the ripening period. Haven Pinot usually enters more of a purplish fruit spectrum that is rich and lush, yet with a firm underlying tannic structure.

The 2019 Haven’s brooding, fruit-driven nose speaks strongly of the Northern growing areas of the Mornington Peninsula. Bright fruit notes of red and black cherry together with plummier tones transform into diverse aromas of dry rosemary, cooling mint, and dried spices such as cardamom and anise. Fresh, supple fruits run through the core of the palate, cajoled by fine and chewy tannins into length and drive. Dense flavours of citrus and sour cherry contribute to a powerful finish, a hallmark of Haven. While the wine feels assured now, it will develop over time as the tannins release their grip on the palate.

Winemaker Notes

The Meres Pinot comes from a 0.6 ha block on a gentle north-facing slope. The vines are the most exposed of all Kooyong’s Pinot plantings, leading to low vigour and low yields. The combination of the soils (less loamy topsoil and more clay subsoil than the other blocks), exposure and low vigour produce highly aromatic and perfumed red fruited Pinot Noir with a structure that, as the vines age, is becoming more robust and serious. Meres uses a portion of whole bunches in the fermentation and is the most aromatic of Kooyong’s Pinots.

Red cherry, raspberry and cranberry are present on the silky, mid-weighted palate. Energy and brightness are key, but not at the expense of length and depth. Lively acidity and dusty tannins from the whole bunch inclusion offer grip on the pithy orange peel accented finish. The acid and tannin provide the wine with freshness and the foundation for future development.

95 Gold, James Halliday's Wine Companion

Coming off a difficult vintage, gee this is showing well. It has flavour, as in from the fruit not just the oak and leesy characters, which are here too. Complex, layered with poached quince and ginger and sun-bleached hay, yet tight. Zesty and bright with a lightening rod of acidity so this needs more time.

Winemaker Notes

Planted in 1991, the soil of the dry grown Belford vineyard is light and sandy – the consistency of talcum powder – for the top 50 centimetres. It is the northern-most of the Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley vineyards. A rich, complex nose of fruit, oak and a slight solids character. A powerful palate with the fruit characters being balanced well with the oak and mid-palate grainy texture. The wine finishes with a soft, refreshing acid profile, a benefit of no malolactic fermentation.
