Errazuriz Aconcagua Costa Pinot Noir 2020
Erráuriz Aconcagua Costa Pinot Noir is an elegant, cool-climate expression of Pinot Noir from Chile's coastal Aconcagua Costa region. Sourced from vineyards just 12 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean and planted on metamorphic volcanic soils, this wine showcases the minerality, freshness, and delicate complexity that define this unique terroir. Why You'll Love It This is cool-climate Chilean Pinot Noir with real finesse—complex, fresh, and beautifully mineral-driven. The proximity to the Pacific Ocean creates ideal conditions for elegant Pinot Noir, with cooling breezes preserving natural acidity and allowing slow, even ripening. With 85% aged in used French oak and native yeast fermentation, this wine offers exceptional purity and terroir expression at an outstanding price point. Vineyard & Production Sourced from the Aconcagua Costa Vineyard, just 12 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, planted in 2005 and 2009 on metamorphic volcanic soils of slate type that add distinctive mineral notes. The 2020 vintage featured prolonged ripening with excellent acidity retention, delivering elegant wines with vibrant minerality. Grapes were hand-picked, double-sorted, and deposited in stainless steel tanks with 15% whole-cluster. Cold maceration for 3–5 days preceded fermentation with native yeasts, with total maceration lasting 12–20 days. The wine was aged for 11 months in French oak barrels (85% used, 15% new). Tasting Notes Limpid ruby red colour with beautiful violet flashes. Complex nose showing red fruits such as cherries and red currants, accompanied by floral notes of rosehip and dill, with subtle truffle undertones. The palate is dominated by fresh fruits with gentle toasted notes reminiscent of chocolate and coffee. Vibrant acidity and mineral finish showcase the coastal terroir. Perfect Pairings A versatile wine perfect with seared tuna with soy and spring onions, grilled salmon, roasted duck, mushroom risotto, soft cheeses, or light poultry dishes. Also excellent wit
Gergenti Il Vero Siciliano 2024
Gergenti Il Vero Siciliano is an authentic blend that captures the true spirit of Sicily . Crafted from three of the island's most expressive native varieties, Nero d'Avola , Nerello Mascalese and Frappato , it reflects the sun-drenched vineyards, mineral-rich soils and timeless winemaking traditions of southern Italy . Why You'll Love It This is Sicilian red wine at its most honest and characterful. Gergenti's philosophy is simple: let the island speak for itself. By blending three complementary native varieties and allowing the grapes to hang a little longer on the vine for extra concentration, they produce a wine of real depth and warmth that still retains the freshness and vibrancy Sicily does so well. Generous, approachable and full of personality. Vineyard and Production Grapes are grown on hillside vineyards and left on the vines for a few extra days after reaching maturity to achieve greater concentration and aromatic depth. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in large oak barrels, developing structure, roundness and complexity while maintaining its vibrant fruit character. Tasting Notes Deep ruby red in colour, Il Vero Siciliano opens with aromas of ripe red fruits and subtle spice. The palate is soft and full-bodied, offering layers of cherry, plum and wild berries balanced by gentle tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Perfect Pairings Ideal with hearty meat dishes, aged cheeses and traditional Sicilian cold cuts. Also excellent with slow-braised lamb, pasta with rich meat sauces or a rustic charcuterie board. Grape Varieties Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Frappato
