Aalto PS 2020

How do you make an excellent wine even better? For Mariano García Fernández, the founder of the Bodega Aalto estate, this can be achieved only by selecting the best grapes. The selection of the grapes was carried out parcel by parcel. This explains the wine’s ‘PS’ designation, which stands for ‘parcel’ and ‘selection’. Only the grapes from the best parcels with the oldest vines are selected to produce the Aalto PS. The grapes for this pure varietal Tempranillo come partly from vines that are more than 60 years old. The vines grow on soils with lime and slate subsoils, giving the wine a lovely mineral freshness. The wine is aged in steel tanks before it matures for 21 months in new French barriques. Subsequently, the wine is aged for another 6 months in used casks. The Aalto PS is a dark, dense purple in colour. Its bouquet is characterised by strong notes of wood and flavours of plums and black cherries. On the palate, the wine is extremely complex, concentrated and powerful. The body continues unabated in a never-ending finish. Although the wine is already quite balanced, further ageing in the bottle will certainly enhance its quality. Serve the Aalto PS with lamb, game or tangy cheeses. This wine is a genuine delight! It is also available in a magnum bottle.

Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage 2023

‘Diesel Pinotage’ is certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, it is easily explained once you know the history behind it. ‘Diesel’ was the name of the dog of Beyer Truters, the owner of the Beyerskloof estate. The dog was his beloved, loyal and constant companion. Diesel was always at his side, whether in the vineyards, in the cellar or in his office, so it was only logical that Beyers Truters named his best wine after his ‘best’ friend.The grapes for the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from bush vines that are cultivated without wire trellis training systems. In South Africa, the bush vine method is often used specifically for Pinotage. The fermentation took place in open barrels for 5 days at an average temperature of 78.8° F, while the must was pressed down every 2 hours. Subsequently, the malolactic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine matured for 21 months in new French oak casks. Only 20 out of a total of 300 filled barrels were chosen to produce the Diesel Pinotage.The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is a deep purple in the glass. Its bouquet is characterised by complex aromas of blackberries and dark fruit, complemented by elegant notes of cedar wood. On the palate, the wine shows a fine but complex structure of black and red fruit. This Pinotage is truly a superb wine, captivating with its outstanding balance between fruit and wood. This wine has an outstanding ageing potential and it is expected to be a genuine delight over the next 10 years or even longer.It is an ideal accompaniment to spicy Indian cuisine or a well-matured rump steak. The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is arguably one of the best Pinotage wines from the Cape.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2016

This Super Tuscan is a world-class ambassador for Tuscan viticulture in every respect. Not only does the quality of the Bibi Graetz Colore 2016 stand out and will captivate wine lovers. What's more, the grapes for this phenomenal composition come from three of Tuscany's defining growing regions: Lamole in Chianti Classico, Vincigliata near Florence and Siena in the south. The pinnacle of Tuscan winemaking, united in one wine: Bibi Graetz Colore 2016.This Italian red wine is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and 10% Colorino. The Colore sparkles ruby red with a garnet hue in the glass. The bouquet is fascinatingly complex. Notes of "pure summer cherry" dominate at the beginning, writes Monica Larner in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, awarding the Bibi Graetz Colore 2016 a whopping 96+ points. Over time, nuances of granite and dried blue flowers emerge. Notes of plums, blackberries and strawberries also enrich the bouquet. Everything is finely underpinned by a stimulating spiciness (rosemary, sage, but also cinnamon and a hint of leather and tobacco).On the palate, Bibi Graetz's Super Tuscan is dry, clear and perfectly smooth. "Full-bodied, very dense and polished, with a dense and powerful palate that opens up and grows while remaining agile and beautiful," says James Suckling, whose 98 points make it clear that few wines in the world come close to this quality. "This vintage offers an ideal dose of structure paired with freshness," says Monica Larner."After the great 2015 vintage, I couldn't believe that the quality of 2016 was even better," writes Bibi Graetz. As described, the grapes come from three vineyards in Tuscany, which were meticulously harvested (up to eight times!). In this way, the very best grape material was obtained, which forms the basis for the Colore 2016. The batches from the individual vineyards matured separately in oak for almost three years before the final blend was composed. A masterpiece of Italian viticulture.

Bibi Graetz Colore 2018

Wie schon beim Testamatta stammen die Trauben von Reben in einem Alter von 80 bis 135 Jahren, was sicherlich besonders ist. Diese Basis schafft einen Wein, der nicht nur sehr konzentriert und kraftvoll, sondern gleichermaßen homogen, rund und elegant ist. Diese Balance zu kreieren erstaunt doch sehr. Nachdem Einschenken ins Glas (wir hatten den Wein 2 Stunden vorher dekantiert) ein intensives Aroma von Kirschen und Himbeeren in der Nase. Gefolgt von Kräuternoten und dem Duft einer Blumenwiese. Durch eine deutliche Säure entsteht ein frisches und subtiles Bouquet. Am Gaumen zeigt sich der Bibi Grätz Colore 2018 komplex und kraftvoll mit feiner Raffinesse. Im Finish konzentriertes Lakritz und sogar etwas Tabak. Sichern Sie sich ein paar Flaschen von den nur 9000 produzierten Exemplaren dieses wunderbaren Weins. Der Wein wird durch ein paar weitere Jahre Flaschenreife sicher noch an Trinkfreude zunehmen. So ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass unter anderem James Suckling 99 von 100 Punkten, Robert Parker und das Decanter Magazin je 97 von 100 möglichen Punkten vergeben

Bibi Graetz Colore 2019

“Old-vine magic”- The American wine critic James Suckling waxes lyrical when he writes about the 2019 Bibi Graetz Colore. And Suckling, who awards 99 points (!) for this single-varietal Sangiovese from Tuscany, is not alone in his rhapsodizing. Ninety-six points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points in Falstaff: Italian winemaking has indisputably reached a pinnacle with the Bibi Graetz Colore 2019. The red wine's bouquet seduces you with its fascinating complexity and intensity: notes of blackberries, raspberries, cherries, cassis, and dried rose petals, complemented by nuances of coriander and balsamic herbs. On the palate, the ruby Sangiovese is full-bodied and compact, with silky-soft tannins that could not be more harmoniously integrated. It has an impressive structure and length. Suckling writes, “So fine, yet so powerful. This is an incredible combination of fruit and structure. Old-vine magic. Old-vine magic.”Bibi Graetz himself writes, “Monumental, there is no better word to describe this vintage. Roundness in every single aspect of the wine: elegance, freshness and great acidity that gives very fine layers surprisingly detectable on the nose and at the first sip.”The effort behind this creation was extraordinary: the grapes came from three sites in Tuscany (Lamole, Vincigliata and Siena) with vines from the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. The individual sites were harvested up to eight times in order to harvest grapes with the perfect degree of ripeness. This was followed by a further sorting of the grapes in the winery. The wines of the individual growing areas were vinified separately. The precise composition of the blend was decided only after the Sangiovese creations from the individual sites had matured in barriques for 20 months. Only the best barrels of the entire production were included in the Colore.Bibi Graetz is celebrating his 20th anniversary as a winemaker with the Colore 2019, and the design of the bottle is accordingly distinctive. This Sangiovese is one of the outstanding highlights bearing witness to the creative power of Bibi Gräetz. Happy are those who can call a bottle their own. Suckling’s recommendation: “Drink after 2026.”

Bibi Graetz Colore 2020

"You'll want to drink it now, and you probably should because it's so seductive." When US wine critics write about the Bibi Graetz Colore 2020, you can literally feel their enthusiasm, which they also express with 98 points for this Super Tuscan. Bibi Graetz himself is not stingy with superlatives: "I think that this year we have made the best Colore we have ever produced."The pure Sangiovese from Tuscany comes from ancient vines whose grapes have an unmistakable aromatic depth. Monica Larner awarded the world-class Italian red wine 96 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. "The Bibi Graetz 2020 Colore is a pure expression of Sangiovese, sourced entirely from old vines meticulously selected in different parts of Tuscany." The majority of the fruit comes from an elevated and cool site in Lamole or from 70-year-old vines in Bagno a Ripoli and Vincigliata near Fiesole. "A small percentage of old vines in Olmo is also used. Bibi has a preference for old vines, and you can taste the beautiful depth and complexity that comes through in the Colore."The bouquet of the Colore 2020 is phenomenally complex. Where to begin, where to end? Beguiling notes of cherries and ripe strawberries characterize the bouquet, harmonizing wonderfully with notes of cedar wood, dried herbs, liquorice and mint. There is also a wonderful hint of vanilla.On the palate, this Super Tuscan is dry, velvety soft, full-bodied, wonderfully fruity and at the same time light and dancing. "A wine with a perfect and lively tension, in which the power of the vintage dances harmoniously with the elegance of our vines," writes Bibi Graetz. Monica Larner judges that the mineral aromas and the light, clear acidity make the Colore an exceptional wine. Suckling: "Full-bodied, but not exaggerated, with tannins that are polished and show themselves over the entire length of the wine. It is dense, but has all the characteristics of a great wine." The finish of the Bibi Graetz Colore 2020 lingers for an almost unreal length of time.The Sangiovese grapes were harvested up to eight times in each vineyard. This means that only grapes with the perfect degree of ripeness are used for the Colore. The wines from the individual vineyards matured separately in oak for almost 20 months before the team decided on the final blend. The best Colore ever? Lucky for those who can form their own opinion.

Cantina Tramin Troy Chardonnay Riserva 2021

Eine wirkliche Rarität von Cantina Tramin ist der Troy Chardonnay Riserva. Nur 3100 Flaschen wurden vinifiziert. Die Trauben stammen aus zwei Weinbergen in Söll bei der Ortschaft Tramin. Die Weinberge befinden sich auf einer Höhe von über 500 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel an exponierter Stelle nach Südosten hin ausgerichteten Hanglagen. Das Besondere an dieser Lage sind die extremen Temperaturunterschiede zwischen Tag und Nacht. Die Chardonnay Reben finden hier ideale Bedingungen, um bei wenig Ertrag eine hervorragende Qualität auszubilden. Der Boden ist geprägt von Lehm und Schotter, der stark mit Kalk versetzt ist. Die Trauben wurden von Hand gelesen und jede einzelne Beere sorgsam geprüft. Nach der Gärung und dem biologischen Säureabbau in Barrique wurde der Wein für 11 Monate auf den Feinhefen belassen. Im Anschluss fand eine fast zweijährige weitere Reifung in kleinen Edelstahltanks und eine viermonatige Flaschenlagerung statt.Der Troy Chardonnay Riserva von Tramin aus Italien besticht durch seine Tiefe und seine Vielfalt an Aromen. Seine besondere Saftigkeit und Eleganz machen diesen Wein zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Im Glas findet sich eine goldgelbe Farbe. Die Nase wird von blumigen und zitrusartigen Noten verwöhnt, die durch eine Vielzahl weiterer Düfte wie Kamille, Minze, tropischer Früchte und leichten Röstaromen ergänzt werden. Am Gaumen ist der trockene Weißwein mit großartiger Frische und intensiver Mineralik ausgestattet. Der Geschmack zeichnet sich durch eine Vielzahl an fruchtigen Aromen wie Banane, Mango und Galiamelone aus. Im Abgang wiederholt sich die mineralische Note nochmals und wird durch die unglaubliche Saftigkeit und Länge unterstützt.Nun noch eine kleine Erklärung zum Namen Troy. Früher wurde in Südtirol ein Pfad häufig als Troy bezeichnet. Die Kellerei hat sich für diesen Namen entschieden, um damit den zurückgelegten Entwicklungsweg zu diesem Chardonnay zu verdeutlichen.Wir empfehlen diesen herrlichen Chardonnay zu Schalentieren oder Fisch-Carpaccio. Geschmacklich intensive Nudelgerichte mit Trüffeln, Knödel mit Pilzen und starker Ziegenkäse passen ebenfalls gut zu diesem Spitzenwein.
