Horeca Wine Reviews

CHÂTEAU GALOUPET CRU CLASSÉ CÔTES DE PROVENCE

“Here’s a wine that exalts a wine category which is finally garnering some much-merited respect. A Rosé of refined character and intrigue which proudly represents the land it grows in”

Château Galoupet aims to express the full potential of its terroir through gastronomic wines with notable ageing potential. Our Cru Classé Côtes de Provence is a premium and complex rosé with body and a long, saline finish. In addition this wine is an organic terroir-driven rosé and is made from a blend of four grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Tibouren, and Rolle.

MARANGONA ‘TRE CAMPANE’ LUGANA D.O.C.

“Lugana has been celebrating some highly attractive wines thanks to examples like this one. Friendly, noteworthy and highly expressive: a wine for all seasons.”

Made from vines over 40 years of age, with deep roots in the calcareous clayey soil. Soft pressing, fermentation in steel at low temperature. Aging on fine lees kept in suspension in natural, non-vitrified cement tanks for 10 -12 months. Refined in a bottle for a minimum of 6 months.

DOMAINE DES TOURELLES VALLÉE DE LA BEKAA

“A land which has seen more than its fair share of strife produces wines which do their best to counter ugliness with bottles of pure joy and charm. Let’s drink to serenity.”

A wine with minimal intervention, a true expression of the Bekaa Valley, the juxtaposition of ripe dark fruit against a vibrant juicy core reflects the hot, dry days and cool nights of the valley. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation begins spontaneously. The wine is blended then aged in concrete vats.

SAN LEONARDO CARMENÈRE

“From an Italian winery of truly unique character comes an expression of a variety which may have been undervalued in Europe and subsequently adopted in Chile. Here’s a chance to see what the old world stands for.”

Coming from the oldest vineyards of Carmenère, this wine is the very quintessence of our growing area, thanks to its innate ability to evolve over the years. Ageing of 24 months 70% in barriques and 30% in French oak barrels at medium-sized first, second and third pass, followed by the final assembly. The wine is finally bottled and stays for at least 24 months in our cellars.

LEONARDA TARDI ALIKASE NERO D'AVOLA

“A wine which successfully melds intensity and freshness into a true expression of the variety and its land. Origins of deep historical roots that offer a modern engaging wine.”

The fruit is individually handpicked at 350 metres above sea level and whole bunch pressed to ensure purity and concentration of flavours. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks; once vinification is finished, the wines are aged in small stainless-steel vats for 24 months and 6 months in bottle.

REGUTA ALTROPASSO IGP TREVENEZIE

“This is a classic blend of two of the noblest red varieties in the world, grown in Northern Italy creating a wine of luscious sophistication.”

A star, characterised by vibrant violet tones and a clear and persistent aroma with the balsamic fragrance of durmast oak. Blackberry notes are captivating and creamy and tend to dominate the palate. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot which expresses itself wonderfully with its strong jammy texture.
