Senor de Lesmos Rioja Reserva Especial
Senor de Lesmos Rioja Reserva EspecialBodega Casa Juan is located in Rioja Alavesea, the Basque area of Rioja. The winery is a converted flour mill, featuring concrete tanks for fermenting and blending the wine and barrels for ageing that are used for up to seven years. These are traditional Riojas in winemaking and spirit, though the site-specificity of their Laguardia and Villabuena vineyards confers a fruit character all its own to these wines. The reserva especial is a special blend of 50% Tempranillo and 50% Mazuelo, that is aged in a different selection of barrels than usual. Some more new oak comes into play, but that is only relative to Angel’s very conservative, light toast, high proportion of older barrels aging regimen. This is the rarest and smallest production of the Lesmos wines, and possibly their very best.
Doremi Saperavi Kvevri
Doremi Saperavi Kvevri100% Saperavi. A deep, dark almost black wine. Pomegranate, sour cherries, cocoa with good structure and tannins. Do Re Mi wines are all made in Qvevri which are handmade, large buried clay vessels used to ferment and age the wine. Qvevri range in size from 250 liters to 2500 liters. The lightly pressed juice is fermented with the skins, with wild yeast and free from any additives. After fermentation is finished, the Qvevri are sealed and covered with soil until Spring time. During the process, the solids in the wine slowly drop to the bottom of the qvevri and the clear wine rises to the top. When temperatures drop in December and January, the live yeast dies, the wine is transferred to new qvevri and left to age for more months. In the spring time the wine is drunk during big celebrations called Supras and leftover is bottled.
Do Re Mi is very proud to continue the long tradition of Georgian wine making and they’re pleased to offer you pure and authentic natural wines.
Krasna Hora Pinot Noir
Krasna Hora Pinot NoirAn elegant and beautiful Pinot Noir. Ruby-colored with a bright purple hue. The lovely nose is brimming with red berries, cranberries, and subtle touches of violets and roses. The bouquet shows intense cherry and raspberry fruits along with hints of violets and thyme.
On the palate one immediately picks an intense fruitiness with balanced and silky tannins and a refreshing, mouth-watering finish. The wine has a very long lingering aftertaste.
Krasna Hora Pinot Noir has that delicate lightness, yet still a firm grip and powerful presence on the palate. This lovely natural wine is made without fining or filtration.
Pinot Noir is a very versatile food pairing wine given its higher high acidity and lower tannin. This rendition of Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with duck, chicken, pork, and mushrooms.
