Areio e Vento e Amor Evangelho Vineyard Red Blend 2019

Fine light drinking red with an assortment of heirloom varietals you would see in a Sandlands release. Down the middle table red style with good acid but lighter in alcohol and tannins. — 5 months ago

Sonoma Valley Grenache Rosé 2018

@Delectable Wine this is the Grenache PetNat from this producer. It was not in the database. Really interesting PetNat. And, probably second to the Westminister Pet-Nat from Maryland that went out into left field with their recent bottling. This one is delicious. A hint of bubbles. Consistent on the very front with some lemon and honeycrisp apple. Pears and peach invade the middle. A little yeasty towards the finish. Very enjoyable. Would be an excellent light sparkler to enjoy on a 100 degree day. These are in no way meant to cellar, so pop the bottlecap on this one and enjoy this awesome little Pet-Nat from Grenachista. — 5 years ago

Nisia Old Vines Rueda Verdejo 2016

Crisp pear, green apple, lemon verbena and honey leaping out of the glass. Very lively acidity, both round and supple in the middle. There’s a (dare I say) Chenin Blanc kind of flavor and aromatic profile to this that I love. Versatile, complex and fresh. — 6 years ago

Anina Verde Grüner Veltliner 2022

Grüner co-fermented with Riesling skins to make an orange wine.
Bright and zippy with lime and peach flavors and a bit of grippy earth (wet rocks).
Stainless steel and oak aging with some time on its lees.
Named after the winemakers middle daughter. As a middle daughter myself, I feel extra attached to this 🍷!

Good but not amazing. Could have benefitted from a longer cellar aging. Bright tones of Brett and sunflower. — 5 years ago

Still a nice little GSM blend. Brighter fruit on the front-end, smooth middle, nice lighter pepper finish. Best with food. — 5 years ago

La Chablisienne

La Fief de Grenouilles Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2006

One of the absolute best white wines I’ve had so far this year to date was this extraordinary Grand Cru Chablis from 2006. I think we caught this wine at the absolute perfect time to drink. Grenouilles is French for frog, more on that below.

The color on this was perfect, a vibrant light gold and yellow, watery at the rim. The nose was also in perfect condition, notes of flint, crushed oyster shell, a touch of smoke, allied with fresh Asian pear and crisp Fuji apple. The wind absolutely jumped out of the glass, the nose was so pronounced. The palage took it another level up with a perfect expression of what the nose was giving, all the while wrapped up in a perfect medium bodied majorly dense and complex wine. Medium plus acidity and very long on the finish.

Formed in 1923, la Chablisienne is a co-op winery based of course in Chablis. As I have gone deeper into the rabbit hole of wine I tend to find these amazing co-ops which I wish I could have known about earlier as the wines are so impeccably good and priced so reasonably well. They produce something like 30 different wines off from the Chardonnay grape and all from vineyards within the AOC borders of Chablis.

The Grenouilles climat is the smallest of the 7 Chablis Grand Cru climat at 9.38 hectares. It has soils that consist of upper and middle layers of Kimmeridgian, alternating with limestone and marl that are studded with fossilised seashells.

The first vines to grow at the bottom of this hill were close to the River Serein and frogs no doubt came to keep the winegrowers company.
