WINES OF THE WEEK
NEW WINES
Domaine Collin Crémant de Limoux Brut NV
This is a balanced, elegant, Crémant de Limoux, with no rough edges. The Chardonnay gives the wine brightness and a lively acidity, the Chenin Blanc adds richness and texture, while the Pinot Noir adds depth to the wine. Given that this is Collin's entry level sparkling wine, this is an impressively balanced and complex wine. It is truly a testament to what this relatively obscure vineyard area is capable of producing.

Murgo - Etna Bianco 2016
70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto Bianco.
Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the crisp acidity and juicy freshness, a proper Etna Bianco must have. The high acid of Caricante is balanced by the softness of texture of the Catarratto, yielding a gorgeously pristine and elegant Bianco.

Pitti Burgenland 2015
Pitti Burgenland 2015
This is very pleasurable in the glass, displaying red cherry and floral aromas. A crisp and fresh palate with deliciously sweet, juicy red cherry fruit characters. This blend of Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt reminds me of a Beaujolais but with more grip to it. While it is joyful, it also has enough structure to match serious dishes, such as game and pork.
