While the barrel seems like a simple vessel for wine aging, there’s a lot more to choosing the right barrel and barrel-aging than you would expect. Learn about all the factors that go into barrel-aging wine and why we use oak barrels for our Cypress Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon and Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. https://bit.ly/3JObRgW

A few reasons why we love to have our winemakers, in this case Delphine BLANC-LHUILLIER from Château Fleur Haut Gaussens , come and visit with us:   🍷 When the winemaker is present, customers can establish a personal connection with the person behind the wine. This creates a more memorable and engaging experience, fostering trust and loyalty towards the brand.     🍷The winemaker can share firsthand stories about the winemaking process, vineyard practices, and unique characteristics of each wine. This expert knowledge adds depth and authenticity to the promotion.     🍷Tastings led by the winemaker offer a deeper understanding of flavor profiles, varietals, and wine pairings. Customers appreciate the opportunity to learn directly from the expert, making the wine more enjoyable and meaningful.    🍷 Meeting the winemaker in person helps build relationships with customers. Repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations are more likely when customers feel a personal connection with the winery and its team. What is your favorite part about meeting the wine maker? #ilovewine #frenchwinemaker #bordeaux #chateaufleurhautgaussens #frenchcountrywines #vivelebordeaux #neighborhoodvintner #austintx

The development process for our Larus barrels was originally aimed at creating a barrel that was specifically suited to short-aged white wines, while minimizing barrel taint, but still providing all the benefits of the new barrel use for the wine. The result? Not only perfectly suited to white wines, but also produces excellent results with low tannin, moderate alcohol reds like Pinot Noir and Kadarka. The global success of Larus barrels proves that this particular type of barrel adapts extremely well to different wine styles and works particularly well for Pinot Noir producers. In this way, Larus barrels help to preserve the delicate aromas and elegance of the wines, while adding a little extra complexity and structure without overpowering the natural character of the wine. With Larus barrels, Pinot Noir can be taken to a new level.

PURE-LEES™ is a new range of specific inactivated yeasts developed and produced from an innovative process called High Pressure Homogenization (HPH™). This mechanical process leads to the disruption of wine yeast cells to maximize the interaction capacity of yeast constituents with the wine matrix. When PURE-LEES DELICACY™ is applied towards the end of the alcoholic fermentation, you get a smooth, balanced texture which improves the red wine quality without modifying the wine structure. Ideally suited for lighter style reds. Additionally, when PURE-LEES ELEGANCY™ is used towards the end of alcoholic fermentation, it allows for the interaction with aggressive tannins which leads to the overall improvement of the wine texture and quality, resulting in a well-balanced red wine with enhanced structure. PURE-LEES ELEGANCY™ is ideally suited for fuller structured red wines. Try it!

2024 has been a year of market fluctuations and shifting trends in fine wine. First up, #BordeauxFutures struggled to generate excitement due to release prices that did not correlate with the current market environment. Instead, collectors turned to established older vintages with proven market performance and quality. The downturn in the fine wine market created great buying opportunities, offering the chance to acquire rare wines at more attractive prices. #Bordeaux and #SuperTuscans saw increased demand due to their stability in uncertain times. Read more about how the market has evolved and the opportunities that remain for collectors in Westgarth Wines' latest article: https://lnkd.in/ectgZCi6

Pinot Grigio is a white wine, so why are its grapes dark? In Italian, grigio means gray, hence where the wine's name comes from. Pinot Grigio is a dry wine best paired with soft cheeses and cured meats, like prosciutto. What do you like to pair with your New Jersey Pinot Grigio? #CheersNJWine #newjerseywine #newjerseywines #visitnj #pinotgrigio

Interesting Pinot Noir tasting It's been a while, but the time had finally come. This time we decided to organize a tasting around Pinot Noir from various interesting regions. Pinot Noir is a versatile, generally cool-climate grape that can often give a good expression of the terroir. Naturally, Pinot Noir is queen in Burgundy, where we can find the very best wines. Martin Schwarz – Spätburgunder-Portugieser 2017 The small region of Saxony is located in deep Germany. Here we find the Martin Schwarz vineyard with 6 hectares of vineyards on the steep slopes along the Saxon Wine Route. Wine management here is completely manual, partly because of the steep slopes. Bernard Rion Beaune 2020 It was in 1896 that the history of Domaine Armelle and Bernard Rion began. It was founded in Vosne Romanée and since then the know-how has been passed on from generation to generation.
