Feudo Zirtari

Feudo Zirtari displays rich floral and fruity notes, with a faint hint of almond. These sensations are echoed on the palate, along with an acidity that balances out the wine's alcoholic warmth. Inzolia, a local Italian varietal, and Chardonnay come together in a wine that is the perfect match for fish dishes and delicate meats.

Hugo Gruner Veltliner

Hugo Gruner Veltliner has a fresh green apple fruity aroma. It is accented by flavors of lemon, lime and peaches, with a solid fruit core. It's rich in finesse, with a beautiful length and mineral tones.The ideal wine for seafood and poultry. 

Dows Vale do Bomfim

The 2010 Dows Vale do Bomfim Douro Red begins with pleasing aromas of blackberry, baking spice and pepper. Tasting the wine reveals lots of rich, juicy dark  fruit plus sweet, grippy tannins and good acidity. Spicy oak notes lurk underneath the fruit and come out towards the end. The finish is dry, long and delicious. 

Vina Gormaz

Vina Gormaz Vendimia Seleccionada incorporates Tempranillo grapes from dry-farmed vineyard plots over 50 years old, fermented in cement tanks. Structure and richness are obtained from the sweet old-vine fruit, resulting in a mineral, earthy complexity without the need for oak aging. It pairs well with a variety of cheeses, grilled meats, and poultry.
