One day, while walking through the “jarilla”, he discovered one of these birds sleeping. The partridge, hearing him approach, quickly flew away. A neighbouring farmer told him that these ancient local inhabitants could often be seen in groups of three. As the days passed, the partridges became Don Juan’s constant companions in his long workdays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus he decided to name his winery Partridge Vineyard: “Viña las Perdices”. The winery is a family operation created by Juan Muñoz López, his wife Rosario, his sons Nicolas and Carlos, and his daughter Estela. In 1952 Juan Muñoz López decided to leave his hometown Andalucia, in southern Spain, and he and his family emigrated to Mendoza, Argentina seeking new horizons. Their shared passion for terroir and for growing high quality grapes, and the challenge of making fine wine from their own vineyards motivated them to create a winery in this tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":24946960662628,"sku":"878434000091","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/Las_Perdices_Malbec.png?v=1780601570"},{"product_id":"fairfax-wine-co-pinot-noir-2024","title":"Fairfax Wine Company Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e North Coast, California, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Who can resist a delicious California pinot noir under $20?

Located, in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars is devoted to producing wine that showcases the inherent quality of world-class vineyard sites. With a clarity and breadth that is unequaled, Pinot noir is the ultimate vehicle for conveying the aroma, flavor, and texture of the location in which it is grown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, with family, belongings, and 10 barrels in tow, Ken moved to McMinnville and started Panther Creek Cellars. His concept of focusing on vineyard-designate bottling began during those years at Panther Creek and this was cemented as a core philosophy in 1994 when Ken Wright Cellars was founded. Ken Wright Cellars now produces a single vineyard Pinot Noir from 13 different vineyard sites in the Northern Willamette Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation. We use organic certified practices as a base and expand upon that with advanced nutrition-based farming. By analyzing both their soil profile and vines, maintaining proper crop levels, personally sampling each vineyard, and hand-sorting each cluster, we ensure that the inherent character in the fruit is revealed in the finished wine. Minimal handling of wine is essential to preserve what it is; a gift of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roanoke Valley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35073871085721,"sku":"641919000516","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/KenWrightCellarsFreedomHillVineyardPinotNoir.png?v=1594665181"},{"product_id":"alain-jaume-cotes-du-rhone-haut-de-brun-2021","title":"Alain Jaume Côtes du Rhône \"Haut de Brun\" 2021","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: Côte du Rhône\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e, Rhone Valley, France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The color is purple-tinged garnet.

The dream of giving rise to an important production experience, with deep ties to the land and its ability to generate life, history and culture. More than thirty years ago he decided to valorize Sicilian wine-making traditions to achieve excellence through the production of high-quality wine, in a period in which it seemed this was a long way from being even remotely conceivable, based on the few others that had embarked on this process. The world of high-quality wine, at least in Sicily, was just beginning and Salvatore Di Gaetano, a young businessman devoted to his land, could already glimpse the enormous potential offered by Sicily as a wine-making region. A miniature continent, capable of encompassing absolutely everything: from the high mountains to the sea, from compact clay soils to those that emerged from the sea, not to mention the lava sands of Etna. Then there are the vines, the sun and the spiralling wind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eFirriato is a unit of measurement, a clear concept, the result of a business decision capable of transforming itself into promise and devotion. Recalling a production history that holds such importance for the world of high-quality Sicilian wine in a few brief lines could result in a rash and inadequate summary. Because Firriato is a company that is a living, warm-blooded organism that thrives on nature, identity, and passion. We are in the province of Trapani, one of the most magical parts of the wine region of Sicily, where centuries of vine growing have given this area a natural ability to produce wines with a strong sense of identity. It was the start of the eighties when Salvatore Di Gaetano, a businessman with a passion for his homeland, saw the right elements in this picture-postcard landscape to bear the fruit of his freely declared passion: high-quality wine. Firriato is the crowning achievement of this dream, a company that in three decades has become one of the biggest production companies in Sicily, a reference for Made in Italy excellence acknowledged all over the world. Right from the onset, Salvatore Di Gaetano has gambled on the oenological potential of traditional vines. Nero d’Avola, Perricone, and Nerello Mascalese, but also Zibibbo, Grillo, and Catarratto, with Firriato, have all become wines that have crossed the oceans, reaching far away cities and entering into the heart of enthusiastic wine lovers. Harmonium, Ribeca, and Santagostino are wines that have made the company famous, along with its lead players. Wines of the utmost prestige, bearing witness to a production style capable of giving due value to wines produced in Sicily. Harvest after harvest, Firriato has implemented a modern wine-making plan based on viticulture that enhances and valorizes the varietal features of every vine planted. A production philosophy that in just a few years has become the unmistakable mark of a style that has led to the production of wines with a strong sense of identity. They are recognizable right from the first sip, have been awarded accolades from critics, and are enjoyed by wine lovers all over the world. Over the years, the challenge became even more exciting when the company set itself the goal of presenting new wines that are a perfect reflection of Sicily. The original production area in the countryside of Trapani was increased, investing in Etna and the Aegadian Islands. The new estates, Cavanera on the volcano and Calamoni on Favignana, have enabled Firriato to present itself to the world with a complexity of soil and climate conditions that only Sicily manages to encompass in one large land bathed in sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eFirriato’s strength lies in the consistent choices it has made. Especially those that focus on nature, biodiversity, protecting the landscape, and innovation. A profile that is most emblematic in the management of its vineyards, considering that all of them are certified organic. Only a large, well-run company is capable of managing six agricultural estates so different from each other, dealing with a complex range of tasks that require constant overseeing and attention.

John Graham is a scion of the Graham port family, which has given its name to excellent ports for almost two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurchill's is the only port wine producer who begins with wines produced only from grapes in Grade A vineyards, as designated by the Port Wine Institute.

After his father sold the family business in 1970, Johnny committed himself to learning the craft of port-making on his own. From age 20, he worked in the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, on the rabelo boats bringing barrels of young port downriver, and in the cellars and tasting rooms of Vila Nova da Gaia. Apprenticing under the studied eye of port master John Smithe of Cockburn Smithe’s, Johnny quickly learned the art of winemaking and by his late 20s had developed a reputation as one of the trade’s best tasters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny could have had his pick of winemaking roles at the top vintage houses, but that wasn’t his style.  Port was more than a trade to Johnny: it was his passion and art.  He was not content to be a steward of a heritage style. He wanted to make his own mark on the 200-year-old Douro D.O.C. and bring a new style to port drinkers around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, at just 29 years old he set out to do something crazy: found an official port shipper in the ancient entrepot of Vila Nova de Gaia, which no one had done in over 50 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a partnership with his wife and two brothers, Churchill’s was born, producing its first vintage in 1982, more than a full year before officially qualifying as a registered port shipper. The company was named after Johnny’s wife, Caroline Churchill.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next several decades, the production grew to include a full range of ruby and tawny ports. But one thing has remained the same – a commitment to vintage quality port with a dry fresh style that is uniquely and classically Johnny Graham’s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1999, Churchill’s acquired Quinta da Gricha, Johnny’s fifth and final child. He had long had his eye on the 50 hectare grade-A vineyard, going back to his days with Cockburn-Smithe’s in the 1970s. Owning and operating its own vineyard was a watershed moment for the start-up Churchill’s, providing control over grape supply for the first time and paving the way for entrance into Douro still wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2002, Johnny teamed up with young Portuguese wine maker and fellow wine rogue Ricardo Pinto Nunes, and together they have created the Churchill’s Estates and Quinta da Gricha ranges of still Douro wines. Through these wines, Johnny and Ricardo aim to combine the rigor and discipline of vintage port making with the spirit of experimentation at the heart of the new Douro wine movement.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36478532616345,"sku":"5603541753586","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/churchills-late-bottled-vintage-port-2015.jpg?v=1601486923"},{"product_id":"chateau-laffitte-teston-madiran-vieille-vignes-2020","title":"Château Laffitte-Teston Madiran Vieilles Vignes 2020","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e: 100% Tannat \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: Madiran, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This wine is rich, concentrated and powerful with flavors of small black fruits, chocolate and coffee complemented by rich vanilla and oak notes.

In 2018 also added cement vats to the mix with the intention to further protect the high-toned fruit qualities that their cool-climate yields—a stark contrast to the majority of wines grown in the Languedoc, which are often dense, sun-soaked reds and usually uninspiring whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003eThe focal red grapes at their estate are Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, and a tiny proportion of Mourvedre, a grape that is more commonly grown in the hotter areas of the south of France due to its need for a long growing season.

From harvesting to winemaking and bottling, everything at Degani is done in accordance with traditional methods and a simple ideology. The wines produced here perfectly reflect the world-class terroir and winemaking skills, from their Valpolicella, Superiore and Ripasso right through to their Amarone and Recioto.

In 2005, he made his first wine using family grapes and a friend’s winery, and he has since become one of the most noticed young winemakers in Piedmont. Alessandro crafts three delicious wines based on Nebbiolo, a Dolcetto, and very small amounts of this Barbera.  Barbera is one of Piedmont’s (if not Italy’s) best food wines: more structured, generally, than Dolcetto, and more forgiving than Nebbiolo.  It’s a wine that can accompany meals both rustic and classy, and Veglio makes one of the best for the money. Barbera has documented roots back to the 17th century but is probably much older.  The Barbera d’Alba region is much smaller than the Asti or Monferrato regions where Barbera can also be grown, and it sometimes gets overshadowed by Nebbiolo, but we recommend NOT overlooking this grape, particularly at this price!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Run","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37503917490329,"sku":"8032628443817","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/barbera-alba-mauro-veglio.webp?v=1775214404"},{"product_id":"legado-del-moncayo-garnacha-vendimia-seleccionada-montana-2019","title":"Legado del Moncayo Garnacha Vendimia Seleccionada \"Montaña\" 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/b\u003e: 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape(s)\u003c\/b\u003e: 100% Garnacha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocalization\u003c\/b\u003e: Campo de Borja, Northern Spain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: On the palate the wine is deep, fullbodied, ripe and well-balanced, with a good core of fruit, moderate, well-integrated tannins and a long, complex, peppery and gently jammy finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThis wine was made by famed winemaker Isaac Fernandez.

Their children Daisy and Juel are both involved in the vineyard, which truly is a farm; they scout the vineyard on horseback, take care of the poultry flock, the shepherd, help make the wines, and more. Hagen was born in the Willamette Valley’s coastal foothills, raised only a few miles down the road from what is today Antiquum Farm. Stephen is steeped in a great appreciation for all things outdoors and as a child was given free rein to roam the streams, hills, and woods for miles in every direction on foot, bike, or horseback. He grew up to know the country well and developed a deep knowledge and love for his native Oregon hills. It is this intuition that guides his farming, winegrowing, and vinification decisions. He began learning the art of working draft horses after purchasing the land that was to become Antiquum Farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003ePerched at 800 feet above sea level, Antiquum Farm is nearly at the edge of what is considered a growable elevation for wine in the Willamette Valley. Despite this elevation, the slope collects heat during the day and is warmer the higher up the slope you go, then it all cools down at night. Stephen refuses to irrigate his vines, making them dig for their needs. The soils are cultivated in the tradition of pre-1940s agriculture. No outside fertilizers, synthetic or otherwise, are used. His methods are even more organic than what the certified organic rules require. The vineyard floor is intensively managed for an abundant life. This means letting the wild in while contributing species enhance vine health, insect habitat, and diversity. Returning livestock to this mix is essential: a flock of Katahdin\/Dorper crosses is the cornerstone of fertility management. The Hagens use intensive rotational grazing to cycle nutrients from diverse cover crops to the vines. Several years of this practice have led to a vineyard that needs no other fertilizer, creating wines that are truly site-specific. We are calling Antiquum organic here above in the icons, but this estate is beyond organic, and even beyond biodynamic the way that Hagen is farming and creating wine. Fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts and the wines are vegan. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\"Some folks tell me I am crazy.

He believes in protecting ecosystems to preserve the health balance of all vegetation, not only vines. He is meticulous in the vineyards, and prunes to only four bunches of grapes per vine (the norm is between five and seven), which concentrates the vines' growing power and cuts down on the need for green harvests. In the cellar he ferments at relatively low temperatures and matures his wine in oak barrels for up to 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincent's \"little wines\" are a Syrah VdP and Crozes-Hermitage, which he began to produce in the hope of accommodating more clients after years of having no Saint Joseph or Cornas left to sell to new, interested customers. His Saint Joseph red is made from vines planted in the 1990s, and is vinified half in used barrel and half in tank. Next up are his Cornas Granit \"30\" and \"60\", designations that refer to the gradient slope of the vineyards. The Granit 30 is concentrated black fruit in a relatively “consumer friendly” style – perhaps a bit more Syrah-ish than Cornas-ish- whereas the 60 is classic Cornas: dense, with aromas of kidney and iron, and a terrific mineral underpinning. Last in the range is very small amount of Cornas \"La Geynale\", a blend of mostly Genale from the 1910 plantings he purchased from his uncle, along with 20-30% from neighboring Reynard.

Environmental sustainability, preserving biodiversity, respect of the land and its heritage are the guiding principles in our vineyards, which are organically cultivated (as certified by CCPB). With the goal of further reducing our environmental impact, the 2008 winery expansion utilized various technical improvements with the aim of energy conservation, such as solar panels, a geothermal system and finally, the use of wetland specifically set up for wastewater purification. The Conterno Fantino winery styles its wines with the primary goal of reflecting their own identity: from painstaking manual selection of fruit to harvest by hand using small crates; from preserving the aromas of the vineyard with spontaneous fermentation from indigenous yeasts (no commercial yeast is used here); from the careful use of wood for the ageing of the wines to the minimal use of sulfites, right up to the bottle ageing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis seemingly complex path is the most natural for us.\u003cbr\u003eOur wine is the offspring of the land in which the wines are cultivated, and once in the winery must be brought up, step by step, as if it were a member of the family.\u003cbr\u003eOur wine is one of us.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virginia Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40398973993113,"sku":"726452016146","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/7e97ed3904f8f156ca9ee7eba0c40c695b168c13.jpg?v=1765752450"}],"url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/collections\/red-wine\/grape_mencia.oembed","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
