100% Chardonnay expressing the the distinctive soils of the region (Kimmeridgian Limestone), the vineyard is located in the northern of Chablis appellation. The finesse of this wine is the result of a traditional winemaking with fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless-steel vats to keep the minerality at the highest possible level while preserving the purity and integrity of the fruit. Incredibly refreshing, sliced green apples, persistent balanced-tart, a sublet touch of kumquats, and crazy clean finish. — 14 days ago

This is the only white wine made by Quintessa, so the level of precision is undeniably impressive. A unique Sauvignon Blanc blend (50% Sauv Blanc Musqué/33% Sauv Blanc/17% Semillon) sourced from a specific terroir split of 60% Napa county & 40% Sonoma county. Super aromatic, amazing texture, bold and savory all the way. Perhaps, one of the most complex Sauv. Blanc tasted in recent times from this terroir. Quintessa utilized additional to its French oak barrels for fermentation, the French concrete egg-shape vat fermenters for this wine, which provides richness to the palate while keeping the must (juice) aromas. Limited quantities only. — 14 days ago

A traditional Sherry made with the ancestral Solera system and non-vintage edition. This is an acquired taste white wine made with Pedro Xinenez grapes from Jerez, Spain. The oxidative aromas with a pungent flavor can be a love and hate situation for many. It takes time to adopt it and appreciate it. A manzanilla style can be a suggestive sipper, a pairing particularly with paella, and even a digestive for some. Always interesting to experience this particular style as it has long finish and not so crazy in ABV% which is at 15%. With the shot mostly for pairing ! — 14 days ago
