Château Mont-Redon will be familiar to those who know and love Châteauneuf-du-Pape being well recognized as the owners of one of the most highly regarded vineyard sites in the appellation. The superb quality of its vineyards has been recognized throughout history and prior to the adaptation of the appellation controlee system it was one of the few ‘Grand Crus’ in the region\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith almost 100 hectares of Chateauneuf-du-Pape under vine, the majority of Mont-Redon’s vineyards are located in the appellation’s most favoured area, the high plateau which is covered in the large round pudding stones galets roulets that Châteauneuf is so well known for. At this high point the huge pudding stone galets lie over a rich layer of clay which retains water and keeps the earth below cool as it helps the vines resist the torrid heat of each summer. In the 1960s some limestone terroir on the western edge of the appellation was planted to white varieties which are perfectly suited to limestone soil and give whites of great freshness and purity. This remarkable property is in fact a single vineyard which is very unusual in Châteauneuf-du-Pape where holdings are usually quite scattered and parcelated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 80 % Grenache, 20 % Syrah this wine has all the perfume and fleshy generosity of fully ripe Grenache fruit with freshness and finesse of tannins and that faint hint of Provence herbs that makes southern Rhone reds, and Mont-Redon, so popular. Amazing value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Reserve checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that's mostly from the limestone soils in Lirac. Blackberries, ripe cherries, peppery herbs, and floral notes all show, and it's medium-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. Readers looking for an impeccably made, high-quality Côtes Du Rhône to drink over the coming 5-6 years or more should grab some. - \u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre \u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Rhone Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2022\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mont Redon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055895588913,"sku":"CMRRCDR","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/Mont-Redon-Reserve-CdR-NV-web.png?v=1677193181"},{"product_id":"maison-saint-aix-rose-2024-1-5l","title":"Maison Saint AIX Rosé 2024 1.5L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaison Saint Aix Rosé is a premium and well-balanced wine from Provence.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself. The Provence region offers the ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, which are the classic blend used to create AIX Rosé. With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit. Over the past decade, the estate has undergone a complete transformation, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking techniques. From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the carefree days spent together under the warm sun and the abundance of shared meals, cherished moments and unforgettable memories that lie ahead. For Maison Saint Aix, this symbol is a daily affirmation of the simplicity and joy that life can offer when we choose not to complicate it. It is with immense pride that they prominently display this symbol on every bottle of their rosé, a privilege they are honoured to share.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvence is the birth place of Rosé for a reason.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself. The Provence region offers the ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, which are the classic blend used to create AIX Rosé. With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit. Over the past decade, the estate has undergone a complete transformation, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking techniques. From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the carefree days spent together under the warm sun and the abundance of shared meals, cherished moments and unforgettable memories that lie ahead. For Maison Saint Aix, this symbol is a daily affirmation of the simplicity and joy that life can offer when we choose not to complicate it.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself. The Provence region offers the ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, which are the classic blend used to create AIX Rosé. With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit. Over the past decade, the estate has undergone a complete transformation, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking techniques. From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the carefree days spent together under the warm sun and the abundance of shared meals, cherished moments and unforgettable memories that lie ahead. For Maison Saint Aix, this symbol is a daily affirmation of the simplicity and joy that life can offer when we choose not to complicate it. It is with immense pride that they prominently display this symbol on every bottle of their rosé, a privilege they are honoured to share.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvence is the birth place of Rosé for a reason.

Once a place where olives, lavender, and mulberries thrived, this estate inspired him deeply. Benefiting from a unique microclimate, the wines produced here embody delicacy and elegance, while also possessing remarkable depth. In the 1930s, Marcel Ott's passion led him to the ancient Clos Mireille, perched above the sea in La Londe Les Maures, near Bregançon. The vineyards quickly yielded distinctive yet subtle wines. In 1956, the Ott family acquired Chateau Romassan in Bandol. After years of meticulous terracing and replanting, this estate now produces robust, harmonious and age-worthy wines. The renowned Cœur de Grain label reflects the genius of winemaking and pays homage to the elegant amphorae of centuries past.

These are the keywords that have contributed to the growth of the Vietti winery and brand, universally recognised today among the best Italian wine labels. The path of quality is traced, thanks to the respect for tradition and careful experimentation, where man and earth have always been able to dialogue. The intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy of Alfredo Currado and Luciana was taken up first, during the 80s, by their son-in-law Mario Cordero and then, starting from the 90s, by their son Luca Currado Vietti, subsequently accompanied by his wife Elena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti. Luca Currado Vietti and wife Elena, continued to process and market the wines producing their final vintage in 2021. Vietti has extended the winemaking properties with new, renowned crus in the denomination of Barolo and Barbaresco. In the Colli Tortonesi area, thanks to the purchase of vineyards, the production of Timorasso had its beginning. As in the past, Vietti maintains those founding values - commitment and vision, culture and passion. The same values that animated Carlo Vietti at the beginning, and all his successors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand in and around late August\/early September.

Throughout the year, individual portions of the must are put in an autoclave at a temperature of 12-14 degrees to initiate alcoholic fermentation. When a percentage of around 5.5% alcohol by volume is reached, the temperature is quickly reduced to stop the fermentation. The wine, which is only partially fermented, is then filtered. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation and is bottled using sterile filtration, to maintain its natural freshness, aromas and fine bubbles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVietti Moscato d'Asti is bright straw yellow colour, slightly sparkling. Intense aroma of peaches, rose petals and ginger. Sweet and delicate on the palate, with a modest acidity, good balance and complexity. Fresh apricot finish.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself. The Provence region offers the ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, which are the classic blend used to create AIX Rosé. With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit. Over the past decade, the estate has undergone a complete transformation, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking techniques. From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the carefree days spent together under the warm sun and the abundance of shared meals, cherished moments and unforgettable memories that lie ahead. For Maison Saint Aix, this symbol is a daily affirmation of the simplicity and joy that life can offer when we choose not to complicate it. It is with immense pride that they prominently display this symbol on every bottle of their rosé, a privilege they are honoured to share.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvence is the birth place of Rosé for a reason. With mineral rich soils, 300 days of sun a year and the cooling Mistral winds, the Provence offers the ideal growing conditions for Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, the classic blend used to make AIX Rosé. Maison Saint Aix is one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation. At 420m above sea level, it's also one of the highest.

Thanks to our state-of-the-art-equipment - from temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses to the next generation harvesting machinery - we can truly produce the quality of rosé that only the Provence can offer. The domaine’s 50-60 year old Grenache vines ensure highest quality ‘jus’, while the fruit from the younger vines brings freshness. To maintain the harmony of the land, we run a busy replanting schedule - replacing up 4 hectares a year with new vines. In early-September, the vineyards are a frenzy of activity from very early morning to noon. Why? To ensure optimal freshness of the grapes, the conservation of the most delicate aromas and a reduced risk of oxidation. This is how we achieve AIX’s recognisable pale colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and great length.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003eA blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, this comes from Maison Saint Aix, owned and run by the Kurver family, whose 75 hectares are planted at an altitude of 400-420 metres.

More precisely in the valley that opens south of the town of Panzano called \"Conca d'oro\". A terroir renowned for centuries for its vocation for quality viticulture. This is due to the unique combination of high altitude, marly soils, great brightness and a fantastic microclimate, warm, dry and with a wide temperature range. All Fontodi wines are produced from grapes from their own vineyards, harvested by hand, carefully chosen and vinified in a way that enhances the character of the vines and the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. The family has been associated for centuries with another activity typical of the Chianti region, the production of its famous “terrecotte” tiles. And it is in the name of this strong link with the territory and a great passion for quality that the estate has moved successfully towards an ever more attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a more profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzano. Fontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectares of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practised is inspired by the principles of respect of nature and sustainability. Not only are no chemical products used but there is an effort to maximize the internal resources of the estate, thereby reducing the need for any external input. Respecting the environment means wines that are better, purer, and a truer expression of the grape and the territory. ?The process of vinification and ageing in wood takes place in the modern cellar, built on descending levels to take advantage of gravity, guaranteeing the most respect possible for the natural integrity of the grape, in order to exalt the character and elegance of the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long aging Syrah, ready to be enjoyed right now, but also capable of giving wonderful evolutions if left to further refine in the bottle.

Once a place where olives, lavender, and mulberries thrived, this estate inspired him deeply. Benefiting from a unique microclimate, the wines produced here embody delicacy and elegance, while also possessing remarkable depth. In the 1930s, Marcel Ott's passion led him to the ancient Clos Mireille, perched above the sea in La Londe Les Maures, near Bregançon. The vineyards quickly yielded distinctive yet subtle wines. In 1956, the Ott family acquired Chateau Romassan in Bandol. After years of meticulous terracing and replanting, this estate now produces robust, harmonious and age-worthy wines. The renowned Cœur de Grain label reflects the genius of winemaking and pays homage to the elegant amphorae of centuries past.

In June, flowering was early and uniform, which is always a promising sign. The influence of the Atlantic ocean and the Gironde estuary helped to reduce the effect of a somewhat hot summer with high temperatures. Water stress was high, but rain in August brought the freshness required for the grapes to change colour and then to ripen perfectly. Conditions were ideal during the harvests, enabling us to obtain optimal ripeness for each plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted at the château, the 1986 Lafite-Rothschild continues to offer an exquisite bouquet at 30 years of age.

The palate is extremely well balanced with a crystalline quality, filigree tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, a quintessential Lafite-Rothschild with a sense of energy and focus undiminished by time. This finish displays immense purity and refinement, one of the most mineral-driven Lafites that I have encountered, whilst the aftertaste seems to linger for over one minute.
