This 3 pack contains one bottle of each of the following wines:
2021 Comarcal Viticultor Castor
Valencia, Spain
Castor comes from 50-year old Malvasia vines grown on chalky limestone soils near orange groves. Macerated for two weeks on their skins and aged in clay amphorae, Castor showcases a rich colour, deep minerality and tremendous tension. Notes of oranges, white plum, juicy apricot, delicate orange blossom florality and a finish that leans into bitter-ish nuttiness. Superb texture and volume on the palate with a cheeky touch of tannins and a balancing act of acidity.
2021 Thierry Germain 'Roche' Saumur-Champigny
Loire, France
This is Cabernet Franc in one of the best and purest expressions you'll find. There's elegant black cherry, scents of violets, sweet raspberry, game meat, earthy mushrooms, graphite and a hint of smokiness near the finish. This is balanced but lively with a harmonious sense to all the parts and a texture that deserves more than a written description.
2022 Gregory Perez Brezo Blanco
Bierzo, Spain
A wine pre-dominantly of Godello with 10% of Doña Blanca in the mix, it certainly evokes the style of Chardonnay. This is full of character and texture with a sort-of tang in the freshness of the wine. The fruit profile is fresh yet rich, dominated by yellow apples, ripe pears, ginger, white pepper and creaminess across the palate. There's a little hint of florality lingering in the background with nice pops of lemon-lime citrus. Mineral tension creeps in on the back half of the palate along with bright acidity and that magic of lees-aged texture.
