As we're taking in the last rays of this fine summer, we are continuing to add light and easy drinking wines to our collection, but also a few with some added concentration for those forthcoming chilly nights. This sipper pack will prepare you for whatever the transitional month of September brings our way.
Our 6 pack includes:
2022 Famille Antech 'Éugénie' Crémant de Limoux Extra-Brut - Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Impressions: Antech is a multi-generational family winery in Limoux. Éugénie is an enticing blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Mauzac that displays delicate aromas of white flowers, honey, and brioche, culminating in a balanced and crisp palate with notes of golden apple and citrus. Its lengthy finish is further proves how much this Crémant overdelivers.
2023 Taubenschuss 'Early Bird' Gemischter Satz - Niederosterreich, Austria
Impressions: Weingut Taubenschuss is a 5th generation family winery in Austria's Weinviertel region. We recently tasted with Thomas Taubenschuss and were blown away by their offerings at every price point. The Early Bird is a crisp and easy-drinking field blend with bright flavors of citrus and stone fruit, a subtle minerality, and a refreshing, zesty finish. Perfect for those last warm evenings.
2024 Domaine Skouras Moscofilero - Arcadia, Greece
Impressions: Founded in 1986 by Dijon-trained oenologist George Skouras, Domaine Skouras has been at the forefront of the modern Greek wine renaissance, blending tradition with innovation. Their 2024 Moscofilero is a testament to this, offering an intensely floral bouquet of rose petals and jasmine, complemented by a lean, mineral-forward texture that leads towards a dry, floral and slightly briny finish.
2023 Caves Sao Joao, 'Baga Novo' Baga - Bairrada, Portugal
Impressions: One of our favorite addresses in Portugal, Caves Sao Joao always has something unique and delicous to offer, in this case, there's a liter of it! You are greeted with aromas of red cherries, dried rose petals and a touch of spiciness. The palate is light, with a mineral juiciness that descends towards a refreshing finish. We recommend serving this chilled.
2023 Gurrieri Frappato Terre Siciliane - Sicily, italy
Impressions: A fitting introduction to Frappato's easy going nature. True to form, it leads with highly aromatic notes of raspberries, pomegranate, hibiscus and a touch of white pepper. The palate is mineral-forward with a juicy profile that gently sways towards dry, fruity and slightly peppery finish.
2023 Château des Adouzes, 'Le Tigre' Faugères - Languedoc-Roussilon, France
Impressions: Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah combine to give a Rhône-like feel but with more freshness and minerality. Opens with notes of black currants, raspberries, violets, and jerky. A silky, lush palate slowly moves towards a velvety tannic touch with a spicy and peppery finish. Best paired with the first rains of Autumn.
