Aalto Tinto Ribera del Duero 2022
' The AALTO project was founded in February 1999, in the prestigious winemaking region of Ribera del Duero (Spain). The foundational aim of Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini in AALTO was to make a wine that shows a different personality, of high quality and being a faithful reflection of distinct locations, blending them at the end of the aging process to obtain balance and complexity. Mariano Garcia spent 30 years as Technical Director at the oustanding Vega Sicilia before starting this project, so probabaly knows everything there is to know about Ribera del Duero. However, a few years later, in 2006, the Masaveu and Nozaleda families joined AALTO , both owners of wineries in other wine regions of Spain, providing experience and stability to the project, which meant the consolidation of the winery to this day. From its beginnings in 1999 until the harvest of 2004, the production of our wines took place in rented facilities in Roa (Burgos, Spain). While the project was being established, the founders began looking for a new place to locate their own new winery. A beautiful plot of 15 hectares belonging to the municipality of Quitanilla de Arriba (Valladolid) was chosen. The first phase of the new winery was completed in 2005, being that year the first harvest that was produced in these facilities. The modern design chosen for this new winery was carried out only with the very highest quality criteria. The architecture of the winery is perfectly integrated into the environment, in a typical Ribera del Duero plateau, with a lineal and harmonic design without ostentation, and minimalistic details, elegant and comfortable. The second phase of the winery corresponding to the more social part of the winery was completed in 2016. The winery currently controls 130 hectares of old, indigenous vines of Tinto Fino, aka Tempranillo, scattered in more than 200 plots over nine different municipalities, all within the Ribera del Duero appellation. Due to the different altitudes
Pommard En Boeuf, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2019
The Pommard appellation in the Côte de Beaune is renowned for its powerful and structured Pinot Noir wines. Éric's 2019 "En Boeuf" has excellent aging potential; enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit and robust structure, and as it ages, the tannins will soften, and the wine will develop more complex, tertiary notes of dried fruit, underbrush, and savoury nuances. Enjoy it with rich and hearty dishes such as beef bourguignon, roasted lamb, duck breast, venison, and mushroom-based dishes. We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here...
