Morlanda Blanco Priorat DOQ 2021
' Morlanda was founded in 1997 in Bellmunt del Priorat. The estate is located in the south-western end of Priorat and is comprised of 82 hectares of forest, 22 of which are planted with vines ranging from 20 to 80 years old. They are currently focusing on more sustainable management of the vineyard. It is a challenge to change from conventional growing to more respectful growing. They are proud to be one of the first wineries to use probiotics, ultimately steering the way toward sustainable agriculture. Soils Llicorella soils: rocky soils formed by Quartenary slate that contribute to the unique, minerality characteristic of Priorat. Calcareous clay soils: where there is a predominance of sediments from the erosion and sedimentation of rivers. Red soils: red clays common on the edge of the region, widespread on some of their plots. ''The harvest began in the first week of September, once we had completed the necessary ripeness monitoring in the vineyard. The grapes were picked by hand and were crushed, lightly pressed and the free run juice was run off; one third of the must was fermented in French oak barrels, and the balance in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature. That element of wine fermented in oak, was also left on its fine lees and batonnage was done at regular intervals over a six month period in the same barrels. Finally in May the final blend was made and the wine filtered and bottled.'' 85% Garnacha Blanca, 13% Macabeo, 2% Moscatel. '
Pieropan Soave Classico Organic 2025
On an estate that covers 30 hectares, the Pieropan Family have been producing wines since the 1860s. In the early 1930s they were the first to produce a bottle with the name Soave on the label. When Nino Pieropan took over from his father in the 1970s he became the first of the family to produce a single vineyard wine - the Calvarino. The Soave Classico is the youngest and freshest wine in the family's range. It is produced entirely from indigenous varietals that are grown on the hillside vineyard of the Soave Classico region. The 2025 vintage in Soave Classico was shaped by a generally mild and balanced growing season. Winter and spring conditions supported steady vine growth and good water reserves, while a warm but not extreme summer encouraged even ripening of Garganega. Cooler nights helped preserve acidity and aromatic freshness, and vineyards remained in good health throughout the season. Harvest took place under stable conditions, resulting in well-balanced fruit.
