Le Petit Leon Bordeaux 2022
' The Meyre family, true Medoc winegrowers, have succeeded in maintaining the family estate over six generations. Pioneers of wine tourism, they were among the very first to open their doors to visitors. Julien and Nathalie are now at the helm, each bringing their own experience and their new dynamic approach. The family naturally continues to work together, choosing integrated agricultural practices that reflect their high environmental values. The ‘Vignobles Meyre’, a family company located in the heart of the Médoc, near Bordeaux, is made up of three châteaux - Chateau Cap Leon Veyrin, Chateau Julien and Chateau Bibian. When selling their wines, you can be sure of top quality products from world-renowned appellations. For six generations now, the family has striven to produce excellent wines, ensuring the satisfaction of even the most demanding connoisseurs. Quality is guaranteed by the alliance of modern production techniques with centuries of experience in their vineyards. Château Cap Léon Veyrin has been family-owned since 1810 when the Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estates were joined. The word ‘Cap’ originally meant ‘head’. The vineyard of Cap Veyrin actually sits on the higher land of Listrac Médoc, and thus boasts ideal natural drainage and sun exposure. '
Spier Seaward Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Seaward grapes are selected from South Africa's top coastal areas, growing in a narrow band close to the cold Atlantic ocean and the temperate waters of False Bay. Such terroir provides what you might call a perfect storm - with barely any human intervention needed to produce outstanding harvests for our winemakers, every year. The vineyards are 6-20km from the ocean. They are planted on a range of aspects, from flat to north-eastern facing slopes that moderate phenolic development and enhance fruit preservation. The rich and deeply decomposed granite soil retains water well and is moderately fertile, resulting in low, concentrated yields. This adds to the complexity and tannin structure of the wine. Spier is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. The winemaking team is committed to crafting wines truly expressive of their terroir, with minimal interference. While rooted in this heritage, they have a vibrant and conscious energy. Their Growing for Good initiatives empower communities to make positive social and environmental change. Ranging from art and entrepreneurship to regenerative farming and ecological restoration, these projects and partnerships are creating a ripple effect of lasting and meaningful impact.
