Tedeschi Ripasso - This wine is produced with grapes selected from the Marne Bianche vineyard on the Maternigo Estate. The wine is obtained according to the ancient technique of Ripasso, in other words, through the refermentation of one part of Valpolicella wine produced in October on the marc of Amarone and Recioto. Aging is carried out in Slavonian oak barrels for approximately 15 months followed by a further 6 months in the bottle. This is an elegant wine that is complex and reflects the style of the family. It is round, but dry, and is a great protagonist of the territory that expresses its value by standing out from the crowd. It is suitable for aging and for food pairings. It can be paired with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
Meltwater New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - Truly a more elegant, subtle expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc than you would typically find at this price-point. Meltwater has a clear, pale yellow color with bright aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and passionfruit. Initially on the palate you get refreshing citrus flavors, followed by gooseberry and subtle herbal notes, which are balanced with a crisp acidity and a clean minerality that lingers on the finish. This wine is a perfect match for fresh seafood dishes, light salads, and goat cheese, but it is also a great choice for any occasion where you want to savor a refreshing and zesty white wine.
