The forty-hectare vineyard consists of several south-facing parcels, with one section lying close to Zilia, and the second west of the village of Calenzana, in the upper Figarella valley. Domaine Alzipratu is farmed sustainably and planted to traditional Corsican varieties: vermentinu for the whites and sciaccarelli, niellucciu (sangiovese), syrah and elegant (grenache) for the reds. The vineyards lie in the foothills of Monte Grossu yet close to the sea, resulting in vibrant, elegant and minerally wines.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corsica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety: \u003c\/strong\u003eOther Whites\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol volume: \u003c\/strong\u003e14.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume: \u003c\/strong\u003e750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine style: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhite (Crisp Fresh\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Alzipratu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42387603882217,"sku":"WS-DACCB-14.5%-750ML-6pack","price":578.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/products\/Untitleddesign-2022-01-17T061333.416_9b6de0a8-ca9c-4974-ac0c-3e07ee388707.jpg?v=1642371648"},{"product_id":"domaine-jean-dauvissat-pere-fils-chablis-2023-12pack-12-5-750ml","title":"Domaine Jean Dauvissat PFre \u0026 Fils Chablis 2023 12pack 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomaine Jean Dauvissat Père \u0026amp; Fils Chablis 2023 12pack 12.5% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThis terroir brings freshness, minerality as well as delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGION NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThe appellation Chablis is the most important one of the vineyards in Chablis.

He lives on in the Henschke family’s love and memories. The tempranillo grape is native to northern Spain, where Bosco’s maternal family have a long history of making wine from this variety. The tempranillo was planted from 2000 onwards on the Henschke Eden Valley Vineyard, on rocky soils at the source of the North Para River. The Stone Jar name gives recognition to the German Silesian families and their rich and wonderfully varied traditions, which have been carried on for generations. Stephen’s grandfather Paul Alfred sold his wine to local customers in stone jars, which in the Barossa were known as ‘krugs’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCELLARING POTENTIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e10+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003eWhile the winter of 2022 saw average rainfall, the latter part of the year brought cooler and above average wet weather. This led to poor flower set and encouraged the spread of downy mildew. A hail flurry on 23 January caused some damage to the green berries, which became sites for botrytis infections later during ripening. The cool lead up to vintage resulted in a slow ripening period, allowing for great flavour development and acid retention. Rainfall during harvest encouraged the growth of botrytis, but careful hand selection during picking delivered good quality fruit. Despite the challenges, the 2023 vintage will be remembered for excellent quality wines. Overall, the whites show intensely perfumed aromatics with a pristine acid line and outstanding flavour concentration, while the reds are deep in colour with good structure, mature tannins and excellent length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henschke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42428409577705,"sku":"HSJTEV-13%-750ML-6pack","price":273.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/products\/henschke_3_01648a55-a808-4a60-80a7-1e176ea673b5.jpg?v=1642990277"},{"product_id":"henschke-innes-vineyard-pinot-gris-adelaide-hills-2025-6pack-13-750ml","title":"Henschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris 2025 6pack 13% 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris 2025 6pack  13% 750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePale gold with green hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAROMA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFragrant aromas of orange blossom and honeysuckle are layered with white peach, nashi pear, lychee and brioche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA creamy and textural palate of pear and white nectarine, with hints of ginger spice and nougat, is balanced by crisp acidity, delivering a long and intense finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREGION NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Adelaide Hills has an altitude ranging from 400-600m and rainfall of around 700-1000mm.
