Authenticity is the multilayered synchronicity of truth. Authentic wines are honest and real. As a winemaker, if you are able to free yourself from outside influence and the impetus to do anything comes only from within yourself, you are authentic.
In this Box you will get:
Bodegas Moraza Las Tasugueras Blanco 2022
Coming from a rare white mutation of Tempranillo - Tempranillo Blanco. White cherries, slight flint and smoke. Light but fleshy on the palate, blanched almond, some apple and mandarin in the mix, a bit of grip, and lemon rind. It has a fair amount of complexity, but mainly, it’s just so good to drink. Pair with seafood or pork.
Maloof Scrambled Sticks 2021
Aged in both neutral oak and amphora. Haunting citrus rind and beeswax perfume. Followed by ripe yellow apples, pears, quince and Mirabelle plums on the palate with mouthwatering chalky tannins. It’s all about texture and layers of flavours, from mineral base through fleshy crunchy middle and aromatic skinsy scents on top.
Weingut Schmitt Wild Pony 2022
Bianka and Daniel Schmitt's Wild Pony is fun. Made from Riesling, Silvaner and Pinot Blanc. The wildest curvé from the winery smells of ripe vineyard peaches, orange zest and honey. On the palate it has a fine acidity, a slight tannin kick and a nice length. Great drinking flow. German orange wine masterpiece.
Black Estate 'Netherwood' Pinot Noir 2020
Coming from the Netherwood vineyard that’s certified organic and biodynamic. Savoury aromas of earth and crushed twigs, dark moist compost soil. Opens to fragrant fruit and florals with some air. Mixed forest berries with a little spice. The palate follows the nose, savoury to taste, well-structured with grainy tannins and a crunchy acidic lift. Delicious.
Clair Obscur L'Origine 2020
This is the cuvée that started everything for this domaine. It comes from a parcel in the village of Corpeau, planted in 1963, which Pierre inherited from his grandfather. The soil here is predominantly brown clay which gives a beautiful silky texture to the wine. Whole bunch, large oak used for aging. The fruit coats the palate, the tannins are very fine and frame it nicely.
Latta Fresca 2021
This vibrant and lively Sangiovese embodies the distinctive qualities associated with Latta: a delightful lightness, succulent juiciness, and an intensity of flavor taken to the highest level. Harvested from organically cultivated vineyards in Shay's Flat, the grapes were carefully picked at an early stage to enhance acidity and preserve the utmost freshness.
