  • Tanca Nica Bianco Terra Forte 2022 750ml

    Tanca Nica Bianco Terra Forte 2022 750ml

    In Pantescan dialect, "Terra Forte" refers to soils that do not contain pumice, but rather very fine red sand, a breakdown of basalt and obsidian. This type of terroir is quite rare on Pantelleria. Only 1000 bottles are produced annually. 

    Terra Forte is a blend of two contradas of very old vines. Bonsulton was planted in 1930 and also produces Tanca Nica's passito in the best vintages. Scirafi was planted in 1948.

    Nicoletta hand paints "Terra Forte" on each bottle.

    Each of the two parcels is vinified individually. The grapes are harvested in the end of August and completely destemmed. The juice ferments on the skins for about ten days and ages in steel, fiberglass and chestnut barrels. S02 is added only during bottling (about 20 mg/L) which takes place in spring on a waning moon.

    At a whopping 1000 bottles, the second largest production is a cuvée called "Terra Forte". Produced from two tancas of very old vines, here the Zibibbo grows on "terra forte" soils composed of sandy clay from degraded basalt and obsidian. The result is a much more powerful, structured expression of Zibibbo that, while keeping the grapes' trademark aromatic qualities, is more serious and age-worthy.

  • Strekov Richard 2022 750ml

    Strekov Richard 2022 750ml

    A collaborative wine made with Zsolt’s friend Peter Šroner. ‘Richard’ is made from Chardonnay that is biodynamically farmed on clay-loam and loess soil in a neighboring village. The wine is directly pressed and aged in a mix of old and new barrels. This is a truly impressive wine, with crisp acidity and elegance from precise barrel aging - the wine drinks like a natural medium-bodied Maconnais Chardonnay.

  • Galactic Wines Vinho Rose Sarava 2023 750ml

    Galactic Wines Vinho Rose Sarava 2023 750ml

    This Loureiro is something special! It spends three months fermenting with whole bunches of red grapes and macerates for three months before being pressed and bottled young. In the resulting wine, a funky, savory nose gives way to a fresh rose filled with notes of strawberries and cherries and, at 10.5% ABV, its low alcohol makes it even more crushable!

  • Domaine Tissot Arbois Rose Massale Chardonnay 2022 750ml

    Domaine Tissot Arbois Rose Massale Chardonnay 2022 750ml

    In 2005 Stéphane identified 40 vines of a rare chardonnay rose in one of his parcels (an aromatic chardonnay with pink skins) and decided to plant a selection massale across different parcels; .85ha in total.

    They are planted in his very best vineyards: Curon & Les Graviers (Bajocien limestone), La Mailloche (marl from Lias) & Les Bruyères (marl from Trias).

    This cuvée highlights the specificity of chardonnay rose on the diverse soils of the Jura. The first vintage released was 2015.

    The Arbois region is about 60% clay (gives acidity while highlighting bitterness) & 40% limestone (gives a salty/mineral profile) The wine exhibits beautiful acidity from the influence of the local clay soils, and a rich & distinct aromatic and floral quality.

    One of our personal favorites! The second press of Franz’s Pinot Blanc blended with Chardonnay that is pressed with the skins of the Pinot Blanc. It’s a medium to full-bodied white with tons of stone fruit, a salty breeze, and a citrus forward finish. It reminds us of Andreas Tscheppe’s Salamander Chardonnay.

  • Bruno Duchene Collioure L'Anodine 2023 1.5L

    Bruno Duchene Collioure L'Anodine 2023 1.5L

    Bruno principally produces three red wines: "La Luna", "La Pascole" and "L'Anodine". All three are made with co-planted Grenache Noir/Gris/Blanc with a splash of Carignan. "La Luna" comes from parcels where the grass grows free; some are Bruno's, others are purchased fruit from friends working organically. "La Pascole" is a single vineyard partially plowed by hand. Finally, "L'Anodine" represents the oldest vines in areas that are impossible to work mechanically, and where the soil work has to be done 100% by hand (except for a tiny plot where a horse has room to till and plow). The latter is only released in magnum.

    Martin Texier Le Preyna 2023 750ml

    The 2023 vintage is a blend of 75% Cinsault and 25% Grenache. Though it was a difficult vintage for Martin, with mildew pressure and heavy rains, it was also quite successful with good yields and a high quality of fruit. ‘La Preyna’ is a perfect indication of this quality - a real return to form. The wine is bright and fresh, with tart raspberry notes and a beautiful garnet hue. This drinks best with a light chill, and would make for a welcome addition to those summer BBQ parties.

    Tschida Himmel Auf Erden Grand Cuvee 2022 750ml

    Winemaker’s note: “The name says it all: up to 60 year old vines that make the stuff Christian’s dreams are made of. In detail the composition varies each year, at it’s core though the idea of the best-of principle always remains the same: Densely planted Grüner Veltliner rooting on pure, hard limestone – a demanding soil type that Christian and his friends carefully work by horse. Vintage 2022 spreads its wings over a very old Sauvignon Blanc garden: straight forward fruit, precise mineral and delicate like a juicy, freshly picked peach. A classic.” 


    Age of Vines: Up to 60 years

    Grapes: Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc

    Vineyard: Limestone


    Making of: Grapes are hand harvested and crushed by foot. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends 1 year aging in 500 to 1500-liter barrels and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.

    Personality: Like biting into a juicy, freshly-picked peach on a seaside picnic. Precise mineral, delicate and bright stonefruit.

  • Bencze Autochthon White 2022 750ml

    Bencze Autochthon White 2022 750ml

    István on this wine: “The name comes from Greek ‘autokhthon’ which means aboriginal or native. That is why we made this blend exclusively from native varieties of the Carpathian Basin, most of them from our precious ’Templomdombi’ plot.”

    Varieties: Furmint, Hárslevelű, Kéknyelű, Rószakö

    Vineyard: Furmint, Hárslevelű and Kéknyelű come from Templomdombi (planted 2015), Rózsakő from Másfél (planted 2014). Dense basalt with some tuff, sandstone, brown forest soil and clay. All estate-owned and biodynamically farmed by István himself (Demeter-certified)

    Making of: hand harvest, each grape at optimum maturity. 95% of the grapes underwent gentle whole-cluster direct press in a pneumatic press, fermentation and ageing in stoneware vessels for 14 months. 5% whole-cluster fermentation with some juice with daily remontages, for 10 days. For Hárslevelű, 60% was aged in 1500L Slavonian oak and 8% in a small barrel, the rest in different types and sizes of stoneware vessels. The blend was bottled in August of the following year without filtration, fining or added sulfites.

    Personality: citrus, pear, salt. Easy-drinking yet entertaining and complex white with distinct freshness.

  • Du Grappin Macon Villages Blanc 2022 750ml

    Du Grappin Macon Villages Blanc 2022 750ml

    The vines, aged 30 to 80 years, are from a steep, cool-sited vineyard on the slopes above Aze with well drained, limestone rich soils. High-trained, farmed sustainably, and the westerly aspect and soil contribute to the wines freshness and tension.

    Grapes are crushed and left for several hours on skin contact before a long pressing. Chilled overnight and racked to large format barrels for a native fermentation with plentiful grape solids for texture. Left undisturbed for 12 months and then racked to steel tanks on their lies for another six months to brighten. Bottled unfined with a very light filtration.

    -Andrew and Emma Nielsen

    This wine is not your typical Macon! It’s medium-light bodied and complex but balanced. Tart notes of apple, pear, and lemon cut through fresh minerality, and a faintly rich finish rounds it all out.

  • 2Naturkinder Black Betty 2022 750ml

    2Naturkinder Black Betty 2022 750ml

    Michael on this wine: “Black Betty is back! After we ripped out the original Domina vineyard, we found a worthy replacement for this cuvée at the Eherieder Berg, in a plot connected to other vineyards we farm already. The wine is named after the first lamb that was born in our Domina vineyard: Betty. Who was – as most of the Ouessant sheep – black.”

    Grapes: the current 2022 blend is 48% Domina, 39% Regent, 13% Spätburgunder  

    2020 blend is 57% Domina, 42% Regent, 1% Pinot Meunier

    Vineyard: Shell limestone. The grapes come from 2NK’s own biodynamic vineyards in Kitzingen (Domina), Sulzfeld (Regent), and Volkach (Spätburgunder)

    Making of: 2022: Regent bunches pressed directly and poured over the Domina bunches, which are picked shortly after for a touch of color and tannin extraction before pressing 3 days later. Aged in big oak barrels before they get racked the following summer and blended directly with carbonic Spätburgunder that was aged in stainless steel. Bottled the following October. Unfined, unfiltered, zero sulfur added. 

    2020: Foot-crushed Domina grapes, skin-contact for 1h, fermentation and aging in a big old oak barrel blended with directly pressed Regent fermented and aged in stainless steel. Bottled the following August. Unfined, unfiltered, zero sulfur added.  

    Personality: super fresh, dry, fruit-driven rosé with a herbal touch, cuddly and irresistible like the sheep on its cover. Juicy, glou-glou goodness. 

    -Jenny and Francois Selections

    Black Betty, named for the first sheep born on the 2Naturkinder estate, is the product of a combination of Domina, Regent, and Spätburgunder grapes. Like many of their wines, it’s difficult to strictly categorize, as it’s a little bit light red and a little bit dark rose. Regardless of formal categorizations, we love the juicy, ultra-drinkable qualities of this wine. It’s fruit-driven and slightly tannic with refreshing herbal notes!

  • Bencze Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

    Bencze Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

    István on this wine: “Our entry-level, fruity, easy-going Pinot Noir from the bottom part of the vineyard called Rókalyuki. The soil here is mainly clay, sand, and sandstone, with much less basalt than in the upper parts of the vineyard. Over hundreds of years, the basalt dust from erosion made its way to the bottom part of the plot, enriching it with some volcanic spicy touch.”

    Vineyard: Rókalyuki. Clay, sand, sandstone with some eroded basalt lying on limestone-chalk subsoil. Planted in 1999. Estate-owned and biodynamically farmed by István himself (Demeter-certified). 

    Making of: hand harvest. The destemmed berries fermented in 1000L open tanks, with remontages and a gentle pigeage twice a day. Fermentation on the skin for 10 days. Aging in Burgundy-size small barrels (49% 5th-load, 32% 1st-load), 12% stoneware vessels, 7% stainless steel until next June. Bottled without fining or filtration, zero sulfur added.

    Personality: easy-drinking yet still sophisticated Pinot Noir – a lovely lighter-style red for any moment.

    -Jenny and Francois Selections

    With its powerful ruby hue, Bencze delivers a Pinot Noir complete with a fruity, spicy palate and a slightly elevated tannin level. The nose includes all of the classic Pinot Noir notes - cherry, raspberry, black pepper, and mint. It is a delicious red to enjoy slightly chilled this summer!
