Quebrada Seca Chardonnay 2014

Sadly this is the last vintage of Quebrada Seca for De Martino as the vineyard will be rented to someone else. Again, this wine over-deliveries. A beauty showing enormous complexity: ripe melons, sea spray, chalk, wood (not oak), lees. Creaminess balanced by a lingering finish led by acid and saltness. — 8 years ago

More elegance & beauty than the Estate.

On the nose; dark currants, strawberries, dark soils, black licorice and dark, fresh, perfumed florals.

On the palate; dark currants, candied fruits of; black cherries, blackberries, black raspberries and strawberries. Gummy fruits, black licorice, black raspberry cola, hint of black olive, nice easy tannins, crushed rock powder, leather, loamy soils, great acidity and a long, elegant, polished finish.

Photos of; Estate vines, landscape around the property and old wicker baskets used long ago to move fruit into the Viña.

Reserva Legado Chardonnay 2014

Tasted 13/08/2016

Clean, authentic, fresh and vibrant Chardonnay of Limarí Valley, 50% aged in used oak for 9 months.

Intense lemon color, straw glitters. 
Charming bouquet of melon, biscuits, soaked apple, pineapple, peach, grass. Nutty nuances and white flowers. Minty whiff.
Palate is crisp, concentrated and textured. Medium+ body, distinctive minerality and pronounced acidity. Pomelo, white currant, rhubarb, green apple, pineapple flavors.
Tangy long lasting finish of green apple & lime, touched by sea minerals.
Perfectly suited seabass baked with herbs and olives.

Limavida Single Vineyard Old Bush Vines Malbec Blend 2010

A crucial year for the vision of this chilean winery, when the gastronomical, oxidative, low-alcohol approach of winemaker Marcelo Retamal finally took off.
70 y.o. dry-farmed, early picked Malbec from the remarkable Limávida property.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Dried strawberry, cherry, roses, leather. Subtle hints of gravel and forest. Palate is acid driven with bright red fruit, with a hint of mid-palate sweetness and transition into a soft tannin finish, indicative of the 2012 perhaps. — 7 years ago

Arcipressi Costa Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2014

Fresh, smooth juicy red fruit. A finish as soft and gentle as a kitten on a feather pillow. Tried again 24 hrs after opening and it has flattened out a lot and lost the juicy freshness. — 10 years ago

2014 - San Martino della Battaglia is one of the smallest DOC in Italy, that counts 30K bottles for 8 producers. This white is based on Tuchì grapes (actual name for Tocai), it represents a bold move to reaffirm its past identity and visibility to the market niche of Tocai/Tuchì aficionados. An amazing small jewel to discover on the southern shores of Lake Garda. — 10 years ago
