Agiorgitiko
MED-BODIED, RED CHERRY, STRAWBERRY, PLUM, BLACK PEPPER, UMAMI, EARTH, NO OAK
Anna Halkia began producing wines in the early 2000s in a bare-bones facility at the back of her house near her family’s vineyards. Sans funding or resources, she was forced to rely on basic technology and embrace low-intervention winemaking techniques. Today, her wines are certified organic and highly regarded for their modern stylings and pure, natural expressions of fruit. 100% Agiorgitiko, this bottling is fresh and fruit-forward, with bright acidity and fine tannins — an easy-drinking departure from the heavier reds Greece is known for.

MED-BODIED, STONE FRUIT, MELON, MANGO, FLORAL, SAGE, CITRUS, MINERAL, LEES, NO OAK
Located in the rural town of Karditsa, Andreas Kontozisis and his partner Aphrodite Tousia are pioneers of organics and sustainability in Greece. Certified since 1991, they were one of the first producers in Greece to do so — and despite resistance from the local market, have been buoyed by their small yet loyal following ever since. Grapes are hand-harvested from low-yield, estate-owned vineyards; in the winery no presses are used (only free-run wines) and indigenous yeasts. Fresh and crisp yet quite round and layered, ‘Sun White’ spent 6 mos. on the lees in steel tank with periodic stirring for added complexity.

MED-BODIED, ZESTY CITRUS, PEACH, APRICOT, MINERAL, SALINE, GLOU-GLOU, USED OAK
Christian Binner (maker of legendary “zero-zero” wines in Alsace for over 20 years) launched “Les Vins Pirouettes” to support small vignerons in making soulful, terroir-driven wines under their own names — a welcome alternative to selling their grapes to co-ops at criminally low prices. Each wine released from the collective is completely unique (and very limited) — generous and easy-to-drink, ‘Eros’ falls on the side of less funky and is a perfect orange wine for any drinker.
WINEMAKING : Low-intervention; hand-harvested grapes are destemmed & fermented on skins for 25 days; rests on fine lees for 8 months in foudre; unfined & unfiltered; no sulfur added

100% old-vine Garnacha sourced from several vineyards high in the mountains west of Madrid, where the very old-vines (70-100 yrs old) planted in granite & schist soils are responsible for the trademark minerality found in the elegant wines of this mountainous region.

Fresh, fruity, and fragrant. Made in the ‘glou-glou’ style (French for ‘glug glug’), this easy drinking quaffer delivers on many levels. Carbonic maceration gives it a slight Coca-Cola funkiness, a calling-card for natural reds. Dark red and blue fruits shine with underlying acidity. Chill it and enjoy!
