The Massolino family are the largest holders in this Cru with 3.5 hectares of Vigna Rionda vines, aged between 40 and 50 years old. On some of the oldest soils of Barolo, there is very little topsoil here, with a high concentration of limestone, oxidised iron and other mineral elements. The altitude is also 300 metres above sea level—so, high—with protection from northerly winds and frost provided by the south\/southwest aspect. It’s a vineyard that generates wines with an optimum balance of perfume, finesse, concentration and structure, rarely found elsewhere in Barolo. Excellent acidity and tannins are a feature of the wines of Vigna Rionda, and so they require longer aging in both botti and bottle. That’s why Massolino’s Vigna Rionda is always released with a minimum six years of age.\n\u003cp\u003eAlways aged in large cask, 2017 was the second vintage that Massolino’s Vigna Rionda was also fermented in large wood. It spent 20 days on skins and then 30 months aging in a 7,000-litre Stockinger botti. It’s simply a gorgeous, layered and complex Barolo of the highest order. The note below says it all. Despite the warm vintage, there is great acidity and ample, fine tannins. Already a brilliant drink, it will be even better in three to five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFounded in 1896 by the enterprising Giovanni Massolino—he was the first to bring electricity to the town—the estate is based in and around the town of Serralunga d’Alba, one of the prime sub-zones of Barolo. Today, the keys of this historical estate belong to Franco and Roberto Massolino who work with gifted, ex-Vajra winemaker Giovanni Angeli. Behind Massolino’s rise to the apex of Barolo lies their remarkable collections of Serralunga vineyards, including choice parcels of such famous sites as; Margheria, Parafada and the legendary Vigna Rionda where the Massolino family is the largest holders with 3.5 hectares of vines (two are planted to Nebbiolo) between 40 and 50 years old. Outside of this commune, Massolino also tends vines in the great Parussi Cru of Castiglione Falletto. Massolino’s Barolos sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe quality strides at this estate over the last decade or so have been truly remarkable with significant advances made, particularly in the vineyards. The Massolino Estate has now been organic for six years with no herbicides used for ten. The evolution of the work in the vineyards over that time has been impressive and is showing through in the wines. The team has introduced more competition through grass cover, and no systemic chemicals are used: only copper and sulphur against mildew and only ‘sexual confusion’ to combat pests. \u003c\/span\u003eToday the Nebbiolo-based wines of Massolino sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance. In one sense they are ‘traditional’ and yet they offer the best of the “old” and “new” worlds: pure, aromatic, textural, deeply flavoured wines that are at the same time precise, vibrant and distinctly regional. Equally important, Massolino’s Barolos are remarkably well priced when compared to the other top producers of the area. Alongside Massolino’s Barolo, we must reserve a good deal of excitement for their early drinking releases that starts with the delicious Dolcetto and runs seamlessly through the Barbera, to basic Nebbiolo before arriving at the top tier wines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giovanni Angeli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION: \u003c\/strong\u003eOrganic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43614692180117,"sku":"2602","price":561.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Massolino-Vigna-Rionda-Barolo-Riserva-2017-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1730194225"},{"product_id":"vietti-ravera-barolo-2019","title":"Vietti 'Ravera' Barolo 2019","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The 2019 Barolo Ravera is the most intensely mineral and saline of the Barolos.

The oldest part was planted in 1935. Grapes harvested by hand on 14 October 2019. After gentle pressing, the juice fermented for around four to five weeks in a steel tank, in contact with the skins. This period included pre- and post-ferment maceration, involving the traditional submerged-cap method. Slow malolactic fermentation in barrels, finishing in late spring. The wine then spent over a year on the lees without racking. Ageing is for around 32 months in large oak barrels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Located in the heart of the Langhe hills, at the top of the village of Castiglione Falletto, the Vietti wine cellar was founded in the late 1800s by Carlo Vietti. Although they have been making wine for four generations, the turning point came in the 1960's when Luciana Vietti married winemaker and art connoisseur Alfredo Currado, whose intuitions – from the production of one of the first Barolo crus (Rocche di Castiglione – 1961), through the single-varietal vinification of Arneis (1967) made him one of the modern pioneers of the region. His legacy was taken up by hi son Luca Currado and his wife Elena. Today Vietti is the only estate in Piedmont to own vineyards in all eleven of the Barolo-producing villages with any of the parcels located in the region’s most historic and pedigreed sites.

This marked the beginning, in particular for Bruno, who from a very early age began to view the grapes as the true expression of the land. In 1978 Bruno decided to carve out a new direction, rather than selling the grapes to large barbaresco producers, Bruno began to sell bottled wine on the Italian and world stage. The philosophy of wine as the natural expression of the Barbaresco territory was widely appreciated, and with the estate’s gradual growth came the purchase of new plots of land and the expansion of the cellar, which continues to today with Bruno’s children Francesco and Luisa now both closely involved in all aspects of the wine production and sales. The wines under Bruno were firmly in the modernist camp of production, but the influence of his children has seen large format and neutral oak, and longer, slower ferments come into play. \u003cspan\u003eThe resulting wines are more classic but the retention of some barrique also gives a nod to the past and the splicing of the two philosophies is perfectly handled. \u003c\/span\u003eToday the wines are some of the most elegant, gorgeous examples coming out of Barbaresco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piedmont\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barbaresco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruno \u0026amp; Francesco Rocca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44076080758933,"sku":"2910","price":158.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Bruno-Rocca-Fralu-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2021-Magnum-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1736240616"},{"product_id":"graci-etna-rosso-2023","title":"Graci Etna Rosso 2023","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"Wickedly fresh and floral, the 2023 Etna Rosso is bursting with violet and lavender tones, chalk dust and ripe wild strawberry fruit.

The vines, with a density between 6,000 and 10,000 plants per hectare, are between 600 and 1,000 meters above sea level, part of which are ungrafted. Graci uses only indigenous grapes: Nerello Mascalese, Carricante and Catarratto with a great attention to sustainability. Cultivation of vineyards is certified organic, with careful selections and search for full maturity, limiting the yields in the vineyard to a minimum. The approach in the winery is rigorous, in search of precision and finesse. Vinification and aging take place in concrete tanks, in stainless steel, in tini and large barrels produced with very long seasoned wood. All the work is aimed at favoring the personality of the vines, keeping intact the differences and nuances between one vintage and the other, in the belief that only by satisfying and respecting the natural expression of a great territory can wines have the potential to truly evoke emotion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sicily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Etna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nerello Mascalese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alberto Graci\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44076080791701,"sku":"2911","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260010.jpg?v=1778480747"},{"product_id":"gaja-camarcanda-magari-2022","title":"Gaja Ca'Marcanda 'Magari' 2022","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"Redcurrant, cherry and olive-leaf aromas follow through to a medium body with very fine, caressing tannins and a long, juicy finish.

Named for the mother of the owner and vigneron, Francesco Bellocchio, the estate was established in 2003. Francesco is the grandson of famous Italian cyclist Fausto Coppi, and it was Fausto's connection with the Castellania and it's surrounds that inspired Francesco to start his winery project in the region.

The region has a historical tradition of viticulture, dating back 2,000 years. However, it suffered from a Phylloxera epidemic in the late 1800s, and after World War I and World War II, the area was largely abandoned, resulting in the loss of most indigenous vineyards.  Alvaro and Ricardo have been dedicated to restoring indigenous vineyards and propagating invaluable genetic heritage material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bierzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mencia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Red Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable Farming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45115344846997,"sku":"3318","price":82.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Descendientes-de-J_-Palacios-Petalos-Mencia-2022-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1756286538"},{"product_id":"ravensworth-hilltops-montepulciano-2023","title":"Ravensworth 'Hilltops' Montepulciano 2023","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Montepulciano is the variety to grow is a less predicable but warming climate: Late ripening so we pick it in the cool autumn months; High acid so it is very stable and can hang out there a while; Thick skins that resist both sun burn and disease; has a great balance with low tannin.

He also sources fruit for Ravensworth’s other labels including the Regional range.

The vineyard is extremely steep, situated on sandy soil, and is planted at a high density of 8,000 vines per hectare, allowing for competition among the vines that enhances their quality. Fermentation occurs in tanks, followed by malolactic conversion and maturation in old French demi-muids, with aging lasting 9 to 12 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:  \u003c\/strong\u003eThe winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s.

While the Cru wines below are now fermented exclusively in oak—which Giovanni Angeli credits with imparting even more finesse—half of this Barolo was still fermented in concrete. This cuvée spent around 20 days on skins and the final blend was matured for 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eFounded in 1896 by the enterprising Giovanni Massolino—he was the first to bring electricity to the town—the estate is based in and around the town of Serralunga d’Alba, one of the prime sub-zones of Barolo. Today, the keys of this historical estate belong to Franco and Roberto Massolino who work with gifted, ex-Vajra winemaker Giovanni Angeli. Behind Massolino’s rise to the apex of Barolo lies their remarkable collections of Serralunga vineyards, including choice parcels of such famous sites as; Margheria, Parafada and the legendary Vigna Rionda where the Massolino family is the largest holders with 3.5 hectares of vines (two are planted to Nebbiolo) between 40 and 50 years old. Outside of this commune, Massolino also tends vines in the great Parussi Cru of Castiglione Falletto. Massolino’s Barolos sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe quality strides at this estate over the last decade or so have been truly remarkable with significant advances made, particularly in the vineyards. The Massolino Estate has now been organic for six years with no herbicides used for ten. The evolution of the work in the vineyards over that time has been impressive and is showing through in the wines. The team has introduced more competition through grass cover, and no systemic chemicals are used: only copper and sulphur against mildew and only ‘sexual confusion’ to combat pests. \u003c\/span\u003eToday the Nebbiolo-based wines of Massolino sit comfortably among the finest of the region—they are wines of wonderful purity and elegance. In one sense they are ‘traditional’ and yet they offer the best of the “old” and “new” worlds: pure, aromatic, textural, deeply flavoured wines that are at the same time precise, vibrant and distinctly regional.

It might be a little unusual for the house style or perhaps a slight change, as they are gradually going for softer vinifications; you don’t really need to extract in Priorat, because the wines are powerful enough on their own. It’s still extremely young and has a lactic touch (that blows off with a bit of time in the glass); it was only bottled at the end of May 2022, three months before I tasted it. Even if it’s the second wine here, it’s a wine that needs a little bit of time and improves in the bottle. Having said that, the 2020s feel more open, expressive and approachable than the 2019s, which are more tannic and powerful while the 2020s feel a little more Burgundian if you like. This has to be one of the finest vintages of Laurel so far. After some time in the glass, the aromatics of the Syrah (which was perhaps a little more this year, some 12% versus 8% in 2019) made an appearance—violets, smoked bacon.

While studying law in Paris in her 20s, Daphne first discovered fine wine while working as the office manager for Kit Stevens MW. What was simply a job to make ends meet would soon become her advocation. Shortly after taking the job with Kit, she met René Barbier and Álvaro Palacios, who were both so passionate about a place called the Priorat that she decided she needed to visit and see it for herself. In her early vintages, Daphne relied on her friends René Barbier and Álvaro Palacios for advice, but guided by her instincts and her training in Burgundy, where she first discovered wine, her wines have evolved to become some of the most sought-after references for the Priorat – and along the way, some of the most desired wines in the world. Despite having received multiple 100 point scores from top critics, Daphne has kept Clos i Terrasses modest in size and has not dramatically increased her production of Clos Erasmus, preferring to create a second, equally expressive wine, Laurel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Catalonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Priorat \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGrenache 73%, Syrah 12%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDaphne Glorian\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%: \u003c\/strong\u003e15%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526195404949,"sku":"4269","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Clos-I-Terrasses-Laurel-Grenache-Blend-2020-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1744016634"},{"product_id":"corymbia-rockets-vineyard-tempranillo-malbec-2024","title":"Corymbia 'Rocket's Vineyard' Tempranillo, Malbec 2024","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eA field blend of 52% Tempranillo and 48% Malbec; the certified organic grapes were hand harvested on the same day.

Toro is one of Spain's most historic winemaking regions. Tempranillo originated in the Duero Valley, and many ampelographers believe that it originated in Toro, where it is known as Tinta de Toro. These ancient clones of Tempranillo were responsible for Toro being celebrated as Spain's finest winemaking region during the Middle Ages. Toro was also Spain's only region to completely resist phylloxera due to its sandy soils. Teso la Monja is the Eguren family's new interpretation of Toro, where they sought to produce a more refined and restrained expression of Toro by focusing on northern facing vineyard sites planted on clay soils covered in canto rodado.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tempranillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45683495633045,"sku":"4546","price":67.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Teso-La-Monia-Almirez-Tempranillo-2020-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1738832873"},{"product_id":"coffele-amarone-della-valpolicella-2019","title":"Coffele Amarone della Valpolicella 2019","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003eAn extremely elegant wine which is harmonious and velvety, yet strong, complex, dry, full-bodied and austere, with complex aromas reminiscent of cherry liqueur, black cherries, plums, licorice, leather, cinnamon, pepper and hints of wild berries. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe grape harvest is exclusively done manually and is carried out during the end of September until the beginning of October.

Today, the estate extends over different terroirs located in the communes of Zilia, Calenzana and Moncale (Figarella Valley). Pierre took over the estate in 1991 and was joined by his son, Marc'Andria, in 2018. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn order to best express the diversity of our grape varieties, our winery has different containers for different aging methods, such as concrete or stainless steel vats, oak or acacia barrels and terracotta jars. All year round, we put our know-how and energy into working the vines using agroecological methods to guarantee quality production. The estate is certified \"Organic Agriculture\", as are all the winegrowers of the Corsica-Calvi appellation.  Located at the foot of Monte-Grossu, whose highest point is 1,937 meters, and a few minutes from the shore, our vines benefit from a contrasting climatic influence between the sea and the mountains. While the Mediterranean climate guarantees heat and sun, the higher rainfall in mountainous areas brings humidity that is favorable to the development of the vine. The proximity of the sea brings the freshness specific to the marine climate, as well as numerous winds that purify the vineyard and influence the conditions for the development of the vine.\" \u003cstrong\u003eDomaine Alzipratu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corsica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45% Nielluccio (Sangiovese), 30% Sciacarellu, 15% Elegante (Grenache), 10% Syrah.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45748761690261,"sku":"4619","price":46.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Alzipratu-Fiumeseccu-Rouge-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop_19116d62.jpg?v=1756199039"},{"product_id":"sadie-family-treinspoor-tinta-barocca-2023","title":"Sadie Family 'Treinspoor' Tinta Barocca 2023","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e“The 2023 Treinspoor is pure Tinta Barocca planted on sandstone and granite\/quartz.

Sadie notes that while the very fragile, thin skin of Tinta Barocca is prone to sunburn, the old bush vines of this site keep the bunches sheltered from the intense Swartland sun. He likens his Treinspoor to a sort of stylistic cross between northern Rhône Syrah (black cherry\/blackcurrant\/grenadine fruit, iodine and nettles) and Piemontese Nebbiolo (spice, flowers, acidity and tannins). “It has Piedmont-like tannins and Northern Rhône aromatics,” says Eben. Regardless, as you can read below, it’s a brilliant red. It ferments in concrete with 50% whole bunches and is raised for 11 months in large cask. Like all Sadie wines, it is an outstanding, idiosyncratic red of beauty, finesse and character. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:  \u003c\/strong\u003eVisionary grower-producer Eben Sadie founded the estate in 1999 in South Africa’s Swartland region. Sadie is a regional pioneer in site-specific bottlings.  The estate covers 30 hectares of vines across more than 50 plots throughout the surrounding area, covering almost 400 kilometres. Approximately 10 hectares are estate-owned, with the balance not owned but under the viticultural control of the Sadie family.  Farming is organic, yields are very low, vine age can reach 100 years old, and all plots are dry-farmed at high elevations on varied soils from granite to chalk to sandstone and clay. Next to no new wood is used, extractions are gentle, and vinification takes place mostly in concrete, with a handful of eggs and large-format wood in play.  Varieties include Cinsault, Grenache, Tinta Barocca, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Palomino, Chenin Blanc, Semillon, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Viognier, Verdelho, Roussanne, Marsanne, Colombard and Semillon Gris.  The range includes the signature Columella and Palladius wines–blends of varieties and sites–and single-site District Series wines. \u003cstrong\u003eBibendum\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swartland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tinta Barocca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eben Sadie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Organic Farming \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45759494684821,"sku":"4647","price":194.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Sadie-Family-Treinspoor-Tinta-Barocca-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1740647184"},{"product_id":"g-b-burlotto-barbera-dalba-2024","title":"G.B.

Back in 1761, the Marques de Pombal assigned stone markers (feitorias) to delineate the Douro wine region, marking the best part of it. Quinta da Pedra Alta is the only vineyard in the Douro to have three of these granite markers, known as Marcos Pombalinos, on its property. A visit to Pedra Alta reveals the 35ha of terraced vineyards, the schist soils, the small parcels of different soils, the myriad of indigenous grape varieties (some 30+ years old) and the steep slopes that start with a breath-taking view at 550m and rush down to the river at 230m . This combination of variation of altitude and exposure to the sun\u003cbr\u003ehelps to give perfect balance and complexity in the wines. They grow only indigenous and traditional Douro grapes that are blended to produce a range of still wines and ports. As it is the tradition in the Douro, all of the wines are blends, producing a range of white, red and port wines considered the most faithful interpretation of the land. Quinta da Pedra Alta has six granite lagares for crushing the grapes. The lagares are a tradition that has lasted for centuries. The fermentation in lagares allows the winemaking team to control how much body, tannin and flavours are extracted and will remain in the final handcrafted product. Winemakers Matt and João share the same vision when making the wines—to capture the elegance, and find the essence of what the land has to offer. \u003cstrong\u003eQuinta da Pedra Alta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portugal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Douro Valley \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54% Touriga Nacional, 26% Touriga Franca, 18% Tinta Barroca, 2% Sousão\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e João Pires \u0026amp; Matt Gant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45909265678485,"sku":"4890","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Quinta-da-Pedra-Alta-Pedra-a-Pedra-Tinto-Touriga-Blend-2019-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1749027813"},{"product_id":"massolino-langhe-nebbiolo-2022-half-bottle","title":"Massolino Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 Half Bottle","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e“This is fruit-driven and doesn’t get weighed down by winemaking.

It was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion. Enrico Scavino together with the daughters Enrica and Elisa, (representing the fourth generation) run the family Estate today. Enrico started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was just 10 years old. Enrico straddles the modernist\/traditionalist styles of Barolo, utilising native yeasts and favouring shorter macerations, but only using neutral barriques for the initial ageing period (10 months -to set colour) before transferring his wines to old large format oak for 12 months. Quality control is crucial. Scavino could make more wine—but the estate chooses to sell off from 10-30% of the production in bulk to maintain their super high standards. This small family farm—which essentially started with 5.5 hectares—now manages 29 hectares of vineyards, and regularly finds itself classified amongst the other top estates of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piemonte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enrico Scavino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368482984085,"sku":"5323","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Paolo-Scavino-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2023-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1758272842"},{"product_id":"sandrone-dolcetto-dalba-2024","title":"Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba 2024","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThe 2024 Dolcetto d'Alba is plump, juicy and expressive.

The consistent quality of this wine—its purity, silky texture, fine tannins and balance—only comes with perfectly ripe fruit from top sites. In this case, the sites are also high, bringing added freshness to the layers of fruit. From estate vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, Sandrone draws from Castelletto and Cascina Pe Mol. In Novello, there is the Rocche di San Nicola vineyard and the whitish marls of Ravera, whose easterly exposure contributes perfume and aromatic complexity. Joining these sites is fruit from Rivassi and Crosia in the commune of Barolo. Vine age is another key to the quality, averaging over 50 years. Typically, 11 different parcels contribute to the blend, and any fruit that does not make the grade is sold off. Each parcel is vinified separately before blending, and the wines age in tank. In short, this is about as close as Dolcetto comes to Nebbiolo-level depth and class.  Bibendum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s.
