Ca’ Lojera, pronounced “callow yerra”, means “house of the wolf”, making this a Stark wine for GoT fans. The estate was originally the bishop’s Summer home, so here, the “wolves” refer to smugglers who used the estate as a base during the rest of the year.
Ca’ Lojera is primarily a producer of Lugana whites, but they grow a bit of Cabernet and Merlot for their rosato, and make stainless steel varietal wines of each. The Merlot is surprisingly good, with smooth, clean cherry and blueberry fruits, and just a touch of pepper spice bite to the finish. — a year ago

Pajarete or Paxarete is a traditional sweet wine from southern Andalusia. Historically, such wines came from the Pago de Pajarete, an ancient vineyard site in the Sierra de Cádiz, coveted for its wines since at least the 16th Century. Located about 38 miles north east of Jerez, Pajarete’s vineyards were devastated by phylloxera at the end of the 19th Century and never replanted. But growers in the neighboring province of Málaga continued using Pajarete’s name to describe wines made in this style. This Pajarete is a blend of Muscat of Alexandria and Pedro Ximénez, sourced from vineyards in the Axarquía and Montes de Málaga subregion on slate soils. The Muscat comes from Axarquía, closer to the coast, while the Pedro Ximénez from Montes de Málaga, further inland. They are vinified separately and blended together after fortification. After blending, they are oxidatively aged in old American oak botas for an average of 5 years using the solera system. Expressive nose. Candied fruit, caramel, wood. Smooth, balanced. — 4 years ago
