Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan "La Vie" Rosé NEW Germany Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot A selection of vineyards and three red varieties are chosen for this aromatic and vibrant rosé. The grapes are chilled immediately after harvest to avoid oxidation and ripeness. This wine initially drinks very fruit-forward before mellowing to an almost savory finish. A robust rosé for the colder months and a beautiful dark pink hue for Valentine's Day. Vaiven Blanc de Noir Spain 100% Tempranillo This is a memorable new take on Tempranillo, the nobel grape of Spain. What started as a whim in a spare tank and has turned into one of our most popular wines. Bright yellow color with pearly iridescence at first sight. Red berry and passion fruit notes. Medium bodied and balanced, with a refreshing acidity. This is a great wine for people who usually drink reds and want to get into whites, and its fuller body is nice this time of year. Biodynamic agriculture. Les Garrigues Côtes du Rhône France 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault Named after the beautifully aromatic underbrush and scrub found all over the South of France, Les Garrigues is a delicious Cotes-du-Rhone bottled exclusively for Skurnik Wines. It is produced by a single, small domaine in the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation, and bottled according to our preferences. A blend of predominantly Grenache, Les Garrigues is always balanced, with juicy ripe fruit—never over-ripe, over-done, or overly alcoholic (a trait that sometimes mars wines entry level wines from this appellation). This is an honestly made, textured Côtes du Rhône that is wallet friendly. Fermented and aged in 50% cement, 50% stainless steel JoMa Halligalli NEW Austria 100% Zweigelt Natural wine with little intervention--unfined and unfiltered, so appropriate for vegans. Fruit-forward and supple, this is an unusual, but very approachable example of the variety. Ixsir Altitudes Red NEW Lebanon 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Caladoc, 22% Syrah, 17% Tempranillo The name IXSIR derives from “Iksir”, the original Arabic word for “Elixir”, a word common to many languages, defining the purest form of all substances, a secret potion that grants eternal youth and love. The vision behind IXSIR is to reveal the best terroirs of Lebanon, some forgotten long since. Cultivated with respect to sustainable agriculture, IXSIR’s vineyards are spread in the mountains of Lebanon on clay-calcareous and limestone soil, from Batroun to Jezzine, benefiting from the unique microclimates Lebanon has to offer.
