2022. The wine is now from the Fenaughty Ranch vineyard. Creamy apple upfront with nice acidity on the finish. Paired great with a local washed-rind cheese with apple and a burrata caprese salad. — 9 days ago

2024. This year’s nouveau wine from D&G is very similar to the last two vintages that we’ve enjoyed. Slightly tart cranberry and red berry flavors. Served chilled with chicken and sausage gumbo. — 5 months ago

2022. Crisp, lemony, apples, and enough creamy body to pair really well with butter chicken for dinner tonight! — 10 months ago

Very central otago - big dark brooding spicy nose. The palate is dominated by dark cherry and cedar spice. Decent grip of tannins. Good but not great for the px — 3 months ago

2021. We really enjoyed the 2022 vintage of this wine with kabobs a few months ago, so when I made an impromptu lunch of Reshmi-style Chicken, Chana Saag, and Raita, this wine paired great too! — 5 months ago

2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — 7 months ago

Opened and decanted for 1 hour before tasting. Clean long cork that was soaked to the edge through.

Aromas of wild forest floor. As it opened, fruit began to emerge

This wine tasted delicious. I don’t even remember specific flavors. It was just very good and easy to drink while also having depth and structure to hold up to black pepper chicken thighs.

Hope my other bottles of this wine shine the same — 4 months ago

2022. Vineyard: Fenaughty & Lightner
Varietal: Counoise, Cinsault, Mourvédre, Grenache, Terret Noir. Light body, but lots of flavor. No funk, minimal tannins and enough acidity to pair great with sausage pasta and bagna cauda garlic bread. — 5 months ago

2022. More complex aromas and flavors than most pet-nat that I’ve had. Pulled out of the beer fridge because I wanted an Averna Spritz before dinner. ~200 mL of Sparkling Wine for two spritzes means there was enough left to enjoy on its own. — 10 months ago
