Matías Riccitelli

Matías started his boutique winery in 2009, located in Las Compuertas at 1100 meters above sea level. It is the highest area of Lujan de Cuyo, and here he tends 20 hectares of ungrafted old vineyards. Matías also works with small, independent growers that own their lands at the bottom of the Andes halfway between 1000 and 1700 meters above sea level - in Gualtallary, Chacayes, Altamira and La Carrera.
All harvests are conducted by hand and fermentation takes place in small concrete vats and concrete eggs. Purity and delicacy in winemaking are prized by Matías and great care is taken in preserving the fruit’s singularity in order to obtain vibrant wines.

Leaning Post

A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid.

Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.

Four months have done right by this pinotage and the beauty lies in how such an example could change 99 percent of minds as to what the grape from South Africa can truly and effectively be. No coffee, mocha or java in any respect, no silly or cloying sweet oak but simply fruit. Bright and clean expressing clear varietal skies. Pinotage can be like this and you need to try this wine to become a believer. Last tasted November 2024.
As per the recent (five-plus) year trending style for (better quality) Cape pinotage there is a lighter sense of hue, extract and texture to Radford Dale’s Vinum bottling. The aromas could not be confused or exchanged for any other grape mind you but red fruit prevails and earthiness grounds the wine at every point of exchange. No shock that winemaker Jacques de Klerk would do right by pinotage and provide the stage it needs to succeed. Tons of spice all over the finish. Drink 2025-2028. Tasted July 2024.
91 points - John Szabo, MS
This is a remarkably delicate and perfumed pinotage, pale of hue and redolent of still-fresh red berry fruit, notably absent the frequent rusticity displayed by the variety, as well as oak influce. Tannins are light and delicate and acids crunchy and juice, driving saliva and desire for additional sips, and the finish lingers delicately but impressively, the work of a hand and savvy hand. This will be a revelation to anyone who's exposure to pinotage was limited to the more commercial, sweet coffee-chocolate-flavoured versions, or the ultra old style reminiscent of rusty nails and rubber boots 0 this is nothing like that. Tasted November 2024.

About the Winery
Domaine Frédéric Brouca

Frédéric grew up in Normandy and met his Canadian wife Elaine at university in Lille, Northern France. They live a nomadic lifestyle (Canada, India, Singapore and USA) though Frédéric spends about half of his time in Faugères. Since early age, Frédéric had a calling for farming and the fierce desire to become a winegrower. After completing a Masters Degree in Finance in 2001, Frédéric went back to college for a Sommelier diploma and started his career as a Burgundy wine broker.
In late 2012, Frédéric and Elaine were fortunate to take over 25 acres of old vines in Faugères, organically farmed for twenty years and deeply rooted in schist soils.
2013 was the inaugural vintage for Domaine Frédéric Brouca. In his modest winery in the village of Laurens, Frédéric is creating a new vision for Faugères wines; fresh, vibrant and made without artifice. Nothing revolutionary, simply returning to our grandparent's ideology of farming and winemaking to craft 'Vins Vivants'. The Faugères Appellation is in the heart of Languedoc in the Hérault department. Here, winemaking dates back to the Greek times and was developed during the Roman Era. It wasn't until the early 1900's, however, that the wines became more widely known for its unique schist soils and moderate Mediterranean climate. These villages are heavily reliant on wine as an important part of their culture and economy.
The area is stunning with mountain views and close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea (20 miles / 30 kms). Faugères has a long history of responsible farming. It boasts the highest percentage of organic vineyards for any AOC in all of France with almost 50% of farmers making the choice.

Debut vintage of Frédéric Brouca’s Clair Des Champs, literally “clear fields,” a light red (not a Rosé) that the Faugères winemaker chooses to categorize as "Rouge Clair.” A new genre of wine perhaps, bright and light made by co-fermenting direct press mourvèdre on terret blanc and carignan. May not talk about or incite a revolution but it is clever and insightful, so there’s definitely that. It’s clear, crisp and clean, glou-glou as they say but also taut and beautiful. There is love involved, obviously not a political thing but important as a self-titled debut label. “Talking about a revolution? It sounds like a whisper.” Drink 2024-2026. Tasted December 2024.
90 points - John Szabo, MS
A blend of mourvèdre, cinsault and terret blanc made in a very pale red (or deep rosé) 'clairet' style, Brouca's 23 Clair des Champs is a clean, sapid and savoury wine with a very particular set of flavours, beyond any easy analogy. Ripe raspberry-type fruit meets a sort of meaty, amino acid-rich taste profile, while tannins are light and grainy and acids comfortably bright. With just 12% alcohol there's also a refreshing aspect to it. It's a wine to drink lightly chilled but not cold, over the next year or two. I appreciate the integrity and craftsmanship here. Tasted December 2024.
90 points - Sara d'Amato
A salty, clean and lively claret-style red made from a schist-grown blend, largely from Faugères, that includes mourvèdre, cinsault, and the more rare terret blanc. Dry and mineral with notes of puréed red fruit, cranberry, and thyme. I can easily see this at the holiday table. Light in alcohol at 12%, certified organic and with a very fine tannic presence. Highly accessible, ready to drink and a great deal of fun. Tasted December 2024.

About the Winery
Azienda Agricola Tessari

The Tessari family have Soave in their blood. For three generations they have been extracting delectable wine from the well cared for vines of their Monteforte d’Alpone vineyards. With only a little over a hectare of Garganega grapes in the prestigious volcanic solis of Soave Classico, Antonio Tessari hand dug his cellar back in 1933 and started the legacy that continues today with his grandchildren: Germano, Antonio and Cornelia.
From vineyard to bottle, these three siblings oversee it all; with unwavering respect for tradition, quality and passion for the art of winemaking. The volcanic soils of the hillside are rich with basaltic rocks and clays, which guarantees the health of the plant and the promotes the mineral and floral aromas that are characteristic of the Garganega grape. Truly artisanal wine making at it’s best.
Azienda Agricola Tornatore

Out of a Sicilian family heritage that traces back to the 17th century, the Tornatore’s Mount Etna wine ventures began in 1865. Today the family’s operations are headed by Giuseppe Tornatore, a businessman whose expertise led to the acquisition of some of the region’s finest north-facing vineyards in the early 2000’s. That heritage and the Tornatore’s profound respect and understanding of the land is showcased in wines that capture the essence of Etna, deftly balancing concentrated flavors, complexity, freshness and refinement.
The company lies in the northern side of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The soils have volcanic origin and were created through the disintegration of lava, ash and stones from previous volcanic eruptions. The climate on the northern side of the Etna is characterized by mild temperatures, and more rain fall reflecting the influence of the Volcano. The combination of soil, climate and the skill of the winemakers, have made the northern slope of Etna an ideal area for the production of high-quality wines. “Our vineyards and our winery are only a few kilometers from our family home. Our entire family is rooted there. We have the greatest respect for this region, and we believe we have a responsibility to be stewards of Etna and to reflect its distinct character in our wines.” - Giuseppe Tornatore
Château Haut-Grelot

Château Haut Grelot is located in Saint Ciers Sur Gironde, approximately 50 kms north of Bordeaux, on the right bank of the Gironde Estuary. It was established by the Bonneau family in 1922 and now run but the 4th Generation. Today Château Haut-Grelot comprises 58 hectares of vineyards and is run by Céline and Julien, who was recently awarded the title 'Best Young Talent' in Bordeaux.
The vineyards are made up of sandy-gravel on the hillsides bordering the Gironde Estuary and sand-clay-silt on the hillsides further inland. Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux benefits from an ideal microclimate where there is a high level of sunshine and enough rain to guarantee the perfect environment for grape production. As a result the reds are fruity and concentrated and the whites are fresh, vibrant and delicate.

Domaine du Château de La Chaize

Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan. Among the many initiatives is the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from viti- and vinicultural activity, to achieve zero waste.
Founded in 1670 by the seneschal of Lyon François de la Chaize d’Aix, the main Château de la Chaize building and gardens were completed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André le Nôtre, respectively architect and gardener of the Château de Versailles. Château de la Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Boasting over 250 acres of vineyards, it is also one of the largest. It is today considered one of the most innovative estates in Burgundy. Among its forward- thinking practices is the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, commonly referred to as Agriculture Raisonnée. Chemical treatments have been reduced to a strict minimum, for example, and the growing of grass between rows has been re-introduced to enrich the soil and reduce erosion.

'Almost too good,' mused Chris Mullineux when he poured this wine and I know what he means. Combining Syrah, 30% Grenache, 17% Tinta Barocca and 10% Cinsault, it massively over-delivers at its price point, with perfumed 30% whole bunches, bramble, red cherry and white pepper flavours and some granitic grip and freshness. Almost impossible to beat at the price. Drink date: 2024-2029. Best Value Red of the Year.

Lighthall’s pinot gris not only indicates but clearly demonstrates more richness and flesh than most varietal PEC iterations that have come before. Of course it never fully drifts away or leaves its PEC reality behind but the texture and radiance are at a high level in Glenn Symons’ 2021. Also the ever, if maybe even omnipresent chèvre waft that Lighthall’s last few vintages seem to possess, Loire like if you think about it and even pinot gris gets the messaging. When pinot gris shows character and individuality we must take notice. Drink 2022-2025. Tasted May 2022.
Featured in Vine Routes
From vineyards located within a warmer micro-territory (called South Bay) in the cooler Prince Edward County appellation, this pinot gris is refreshingly lighter on the ABV (12%/vol.) with a quite noticeably creamy and rich texture to it – largely attributed to malolactic fermentation and cold-stabilization methods. The winemaking team also uses an Alsatian yeast strain and fermented one quarter of the juice in neutral French oak, with the other 75 percent in steel tank. The result is a complex wine, with an intriguing flavour profile, including ripening pear and a freshened mineral characteristic that really sets this apart. I even get the hint of nutmeg that I’m being told to look for in this. Will develop further with a bit more time in bottle, that I am certain of.

A warmer vintage gives the wine a little more substances but arguably less tension, acidity and minerality than 2022. Still, this is an incisive chardonnay, showing seashell, lemon zest and iodine character. Just a touch of pie crust. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fresh acidity and a mineral-driven finish. 26,000 bottles made. Delicious now but can hold.

The 2023 Vino de Viñedo Los Parientes Chardonnay originates from Traiguén, Araucanía. Aged for eight months in French oak barrels, this yellow hued wine reveals aromas of green apple subtly complimented by pineapple and ginger notes with a soft touch of acacia. Dry, creamy and taut on the palate, it offers an oily yet refreshing mouthfeel that lingers with a vibrant acidic edge. A deliciously nuanced and faintly textured Chardonnay, the 2023 closes with an enticing cedar finish.

About the Winery
Bideona

Bideona owns or manages over 300 parcels of extraordinary vines in villages throughout the Rioja Alavesa, the coolest, smallest and most Atlantic sub-zone of Spain’s most famous wine region.
The vineyards of the Rioja Alavesa are defined by parcels of old bush vines planted on terraces or hillside slopes with a high percentage of limestone. Located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, Bideona’s vines have an average age of 50 years and many were planted in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, before high-yielding clones became available.
Bideona puts the focus firmly on terroir by making each wine in its Vino de Pueblo range as a field blend of Tempranillo and other native varieties from plots in an individual village. Each is named with an acronym – L3Z4 for Leza, L4GD4 for Laguardia, S4MG0 for Samaniego and V1BN4 for Villabuena – owing to DOCa Rioja regulations that only allow village names to be marked if both the winery and the vineyard are in the same location.
“Bideona’s reason for existence is to make wines that show the personality of the Rioja Alavesa and its historic wine villages” states company co-founder and director, Andreas Kubach MW. “We have access to a wealth of diverse plant material in our parcels of old vines, which we believe contributes to the complexity of the wines as well as the differences between villages.”

From several high elevation parcels in the village of Samaniego, the youngest of which was 50 years in 2020, and the oldest 90 years, this is stunningly perfumed and elegant Rioja. Aromas and flavours feature sour cherry and wild resinous herbs, fresh rose petal, red currant and orange peel, while the palate is taut and tight, resting on riveting acids and fine but still grainy tannins. It seems to be moving slowly and needs another 2-3 years minimum I'd say to enter a primary drinking window. It will be an absolute beauty. Tasted December 2024.
92 points - Michael Godel
More crunch and savour than both the L4GD4 and V1BN4 and while not possessive of the same level of profound quality as both those wines this does deliver fineness in its own right. A reminder how this and its siblings are neither of Reserva or Gran Reserva distinctions but instead a look at viñedos singulares, newest of the Rioja categories. S4MG0 (Samaniego) hails from the higher slopes of a paraje (spot) at Samaniego and the herbal, think minty cool exhale from the tempranillo is so different than what comes out of the other Viños de Pueblo wines. Nearly evergreen as the finish and a delight with good weight, all parts coming together at the finish. Drink 2024-2028. Tasted December 2024.

Bideona was formed in 2018, selecting from over 300 small, old vine parcels in Rioja Alavesa. This is from old vines at the highest altitude near the village of Samaniego. Despite the colour depth and 14.5% alcohol there is a lightness of being here as a result. The nose shows blackberry, subtle minty herbs and spice. It is medium weight, fairly supple and warming. Quite dusty tannins here. The length is excellent. My favourite of four bottlings tasted side by side in December 2024

Sure this may lack the depth of those unique expressions but it does gather them as one layered tempranillo and best of all the 2021 vintage is presented in high esteem. Much anticipation for what else is still to come. Last tasted December 2024. Las Parcelas takes winemaker Tao Platon’s Rioja work to another level because fruit remains at the core in the most pure and clear way. There is little to no distraction by wood or other winemaking work and terroir speaks about as prominently as it can in a wine at this price level. Perfumed, silken, moderate of style, easy to drink and finely tannic without austerity or unnecessary grip. Fine in so many ways. Drink 2025-2030. Tasted March 2024.

Bideona draws from over 300, mostly tiny parcels in Rioja Alavesa, the highest sub- region in the denomination, aiming to capture the perfume and freshness of high-elevation tempranillo and other locals. Las Parcelas, is a blend of parcels, considered a 'regional' wine in the portfolio's hierarchy, below single vineyard and single village wines, but's it's a beauty on every level, especially having moved past the reductive stage noted in my previous review. I love the delicate fragrance offered straight off the top, replete with fresh red fruit and an herbal-floral twist, almost peppery, while the palate delivers crunchy limestone acids and silky-firm tannins lending a sandy texture. I enjoy the freshness of fruit now, though I suspect tannins will soften nicely over the next year or two if you're seeking more silk. Tasted December 2024. Previous: Bideona's Las Parcelas Rioja hails from the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria in the Rioja Alavesa, the highest elevation vineyards in the denomination. There's a slightly reductive edge to this young, predominantly tempranillo- based red, with a mix of both fresh red and also black fruit, with notable floral components and a notable lack of obvious wood influence, you could say a more contemporary style. The palate is plush and nicely concentrated without excess, deeply fruit with lasting flavours. It makes a great counterpart to Bideona's more traditional Artelan Reserva bottling at a similar price, two styles, two very good wines. Drink this one from about 2026-2032. Tasted March 2024.

Gardini Notes
97+ Points
From the historic farm, the product of an excellent work between the countryside and the cellar, an emblematic Brunello: raspberry on the nose, touches of nutmeg, then caper fruit and ginger. Slightly salty on the palate, finish with notes of raspberry and sweet spices. Great length.

Leaning Post

A leaning post is what you find at the beginning of a row of grapes, anchoring the wires that are the frame-work for growing grapevines. It is the beginning of an obsession to translate a time and place into liquid. Leaning Post wines take you to that beginning by finding small, unique plots of land in Niagara and putting them in bottle. Because after stripping away all the fancy buildings and high-tech equipment you are left with a place on this earth that grows wine unlike any other. When you taste that in a glass you just know it. Nadia and Ilya have had to rely on the support of family, friends and financial institutions to make the dream of owning a winery a reality. Leaning Post began as a virtual winery and is so proud to now have the quaint tasting room at 1491 Hwy 8 on their home property in Winona, Ontario.
Ilya and Nadia are the brains and passion behind Leaning Post Wines. It started with a dream to take unique, interesting single vineyard blocks in Niagara and turn them into distinctive, terroir driven wines. Nadia and Ilya first met in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB where their passion for wine and each other was born.
Ilya has been a winemaker in the Niagara Region for the last 17 vintages working at Daniel Lenko Estate Winery, Foreign Affair and now at Leaning Post Wines. Ilya is also a consulting winemaker at the Good Earth Winery. Ilya’s true passion in life is to make world renowned wines from Niagara that really showcase the distinct terroir that Niagara offers.

Azienda Agricola Tessari

The Tessari family have Soave in their blood. For three generations they have been extracting delectable wine from the well cared for vines of their Monteforte d’Alpone vineyards. With only a little over a hectare of Garganega grapes in the prestigious volcanic solis of Soave Classico, Antonio Tessari hand dug his cellar back in 1933 and started the legacy that continues today with his grandchildren: Germano, Antonio and Cornelia.
From vineyard to bottle, these three siblings oversee it all; with unwavering respect for tradition, quality and passion for the art of winemaking. The volcanic soils of the hillside are rich with basaltic rocks and clays, which guarantees the health of the plant and the promotes the mineral and floral aromas that are characteristic of the Garganega grape. Truly artisanal wine making at it’s best.

Kellerei Bozen - Cantine Bolzano

Cantina Bolzano, based in the town of Bolzano, traces its roots to two of Alto Adige’s most historic cooperatives: Santa Magdalena, est. 1930 and Cantina Gries, est. 1908. After deciding to merge in 2001, Cantina Bolzano was created. Bolzano is located in the middle of a valley basin surrounded by hilly vineyards that grow from 200 meters above sea level up to 1000. North and south meet in this valley, and the sun warms the stony soils with its pronounced diurnal temperatures, protecting the vines from the cold.
The average growers’ plots in Sudtirol averages only approx. 1 hectare, and the area, with its famed reputation and steep slopes, is an expensive area to farm. The member of Bolzano (approx. 300 in all) own many of the best vineyards throughout the region, including the Valle Isarco, and pool their resources to create top quality wines. And while no grower is certified organic, many practice organic viticulture and all of them adhere to natural practices in their vineyards. Most growers have lived on their farms with their families for generations. They protect their land and cultivate their vineyards as they have done for generations with total respect of the environment where they live.

Nature’s gifts must be employed with respect and understanding.
The Cantina Bolzano winegrowers have a strong focus on near-natural methods and sustainably managed vineyards. They are committed to treating the soils and vines with the greatest care. In a slow process of maturation the best results are achieved with expert helping hands: daily inspection of the vines, thoughtful pruning, careful thinning – all the little jobs that lay the foundation for a top-quality harvest. For a unique quality wine, time is all important. During months of passionate dedication on the part of our winegrowers, top quality grapes ripen in the generous sun of Alto Adige. After the harvest in autumn, the grapes are brought in and sensitive vinification begins under the watchful eye of our winemaker Stephan Filippi and his team.
With long years of experience in winemaking and a passion for the product, he creates unique and distinctive quality wines. Subtle wines that are full of character and very much in keeping with the spirit of the times.
The many accolades and awards won by the wines of Cantina Bolzano are due in no small part to Stephan Filippi’s intuitive relationship with wine and his commitment to excellence.

It's finely scented on the nose, showing apricot, fig, nougat and oatmeal nuances, leading to a silky palate that's juicy and beautifully rounded. Supple and succulent, finishing lingering and elegant. At its best: now to 2027.

About the Winery
Gilvesy Pincészet

Hungarian expat Róbert Gilvesy moved back to his homeland from Canada, and began building the Gilvesy winemaking empire on the former Esterházy estate on Szent György Hill. Thanks to years of hard work, the Hegymagas-based facility now includes a modern building complex and about 13 hectares of vineyards, in addition to being the home of the family. The area is shaped by 6 million years old volcanoes, where indigenous and international varieties grow organically.
Robert’s absolute admiration for nature and the terroir translates into an immense respect for the environment. By farming using organic practices, the soils and the vines stay healthy. In the winery, by letting nature take its course without controlling the processes, and using local resources, such as Hungarian oak barrels, Gilvesy promotes and protects the Balaton region.
