All the way from Japan's Hokkaido island comes Etsu Gin! This fantastically floral expression features a selection of botanical from Japan, including tea leaves and yuzu. Rather excellent in a G&T, but can also be simply sipped over ice with a sprig of mint if you're a particularly big fan of floral gins.
Tasting Notes
COLOUR : Clear.
NOSE : Floral & vegetal, notes of citrus fruits with yuzu persistent.
PALATE : Fresh and well-balanced, peppers with hints of green teas and berries.
FINISH : Sansho pepper ending on yuzu aromas.
Legal academic, property dealer and vigneron, Rene Rostaing crafts some of the finest Cote Roties on the market today. He has owned 2 hectares in the C?te Blonde and La Landone since the 1970s but fortune has blessed him through his inheritance of four hectares of superbly sited vineyards from his father in law Albert Dervieux and another 1.4 hectares of particularly old vines from his uncle Marius Gentaz. He now has 7.4 hectares which in Cote Rotie terms is a significant holding. Rostaing is firmly in the modernist camp of Cote R?tie producers, destemming the majority of his fruit and being one of the first producers to ferment using vinomatics (horizontal automatic vinifiers). However he dislikes the overt taste of new oak and uses a maximum of 15% in the maturation process. All the wines are bottled unfiltered.
This is the first release of Lakefield Irish single malt whiskey from Waterford and is part of its Single Farm Origin range. Made with barley harvested in 2016, Lakefield 1.1 was matured in a variety of casks for three and a half years before being bottled. The palate offers notes of apple crumble, stewed rhubarb and clove that linger in the finish.
There are three single vineyard Pinot Noirs in the Mount Edward stable, including this outstanding full bodied example which is made from grapes grown on the upper terraces of the Pisa sub region. These grapes are always the first to be harvested and Pisa Terrace Pinot Noir is a wine of perfume and aromatics, a lifted wine, light in feel and weight, elegant with a purity of fruit.
A great wine from Morrison Vineyard in Central Otago that ticks every box from being a silky textured, seductive Pinot Noir to drink now and is a keeper with its fantastic structure. New oak is kept intentionally low here with 15% adding support and smoothness while an overall 50% whole bunch fermentation adds the shoulder pads without dominating here.
Winemaker Duncan Forsyth describes Morrison Vineyard Pinot Noir as a total sleeper, a taut wine that delivers concentration and power which belies the initial impression. It is, he says, the quintessential steel fist/velvet glove.
Timorasso is often called the ?white Barolo? and this grape produces a white wine with great potential for aging.
The soil in the Tortona area is sandy clay and the vineyard aspect is South, South west at about 250-450m. the vines are trained to Guyot with ten buds per plant at 4.500 vines per hectare. All grapes are handpicked around the end of September followed by 6 hours of cryo-maceration. Fermentation is in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with followed by 6 months on fine lees.
The end result is a super complex minerally driven wine, full-bodied on the palate with fresh citrus and tropical fruit notes leading to a mineral finish.
