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

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

A truly Meritage; 80% Merlot, 16% Cab Sauv, 4% Cab Franc. Easy to drink on the fruity side, soft tannins, low in astringency, a medley of ripe plum, red cherry, and blueberry. Some hint of red currants with velvety notes and flavor. Very casual drink, but can be a crown pleaser. — 14 days ago

A singular white wine from the most elevated vineyards in the Salta Region, Argentina. A very characteristic white grape, very perfumy, known for its solid notes of lime, green slided apples, lychee, and mandarin aromas. Lively acidity, green mango, tropical fruits, slightly astringent, somewhat floral on the mid-range palate. Clean finish and well balanced. Super approachable, affordable and casual. Great to pair with ceviche and raw fish dishes. — 14 days ago

A compelling Sancerre, a must-have in your cellar. Quite impressive zesty and delicate notes of lemon peel, beautiful acidity with an extraordinary clean mouthfeel, crisp to the very end. Among the best to pair with raw fish. This comes from a small operation with an amazing location. By far, the best one in the mid-high-end Sancerre. — 14 days ago

Surprisingly delicious, aromatic with nice integrated flavors and aromas. Feels a bit fruity but not overpowering and over lingering.

8.1

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
