Ciróka single 2018

Dry (75cl)

VITICULTURAL AND OENOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

Name of the vineyard:            Ciróka

Grape variety:                         100% Furmint

Maturation:                             4 months steel tank and 4 months in oak

Bottling date:                         May 2019

WINE CHARACTERISTICS:

Alcohol:           12%

Sugar:              3.3 g / l

Acidity:            5.6 g / l

It was an outstanding vintage. 2018 was particularly warm resulting ripe, complex wines with excellent flavour concentration. The natural acidity of the Furmint grape and the supporting volcanic terroir create the strong acid back bone that made this wine so well balanced.

It is an extremely elegant wine showing ripe-bruised apple, pear and quince notes accompanied with some gentle and well-integrated toasted biscuit and hazel from the Hungarian oak. A touch of flinty and smoky minerality can also be recognised which is one of the benchmarks of the wines coming from the north-eastern part of Tokaj. 

This wine is a great match for slow-roasted pork belly, but it also goes well with grilled poultry and any slowly cooked or baked white meat.

2019 has real potential to be also deemed as an outstanding vintage with wines showing finesse and capability for aging. The growing season was consistent with little in the way of wild temperature swings, heavy rains or drought and the vast majority of the grapes were allowed to reach full phenolic ripeness.

The wine has a particular freshness and concertation of minerality, showing notes of flint, pebbles and lime. Due to the phenolic ripeness this vintage also shows some floralness of wild meadow flowers along with peach and pear.

This wine can work very well with thicker fish such as tuna, turbot, scallops. But it can also go well with Hungarian tarragon-chickens soup “Ragu Leves”.

2017 was an extraordinary vintage for our flagship vineyard which fulfilled all our expectations in this year due to the great terroir of this very special piece of land.

Dry (50cl)

Name of the vineyard:           Megyer

Grape variety:                         100% Furmint

WINE CHARACTERISTICS:

Alcohol:           15 %

Sugar:             3 g / l

Acidity:           6.3 g / l

The vintage of 2015 was an odd one. The winter had been extremely cold and gave way to a dry spring, which made for good budburst and flowering. However, summer came, and it was not only dry but also very hot, which ripened the grapes more quickly than normal. Some September showers went some way to developing the desired botrytis and October brought more rain, however by the time it came to the harvest, there were still fewer successfully botrytized grapes than usual. Most of the botrytis infected clusters were only partially covered with botrytis and it gave the obvious direction for dry szamorodni production.

This is a real Tokaj speciality and also a rarity. The wine went under a specific production method when the wine is kept in old oak barrel under a solid layer of floating yeast “flor”. This wine shows beautiful baked apple, pear and quince notes along with hazel, walnut, ginger, toast and biscuits. It has an extremely long finish. And unlike it is French cousin the famous “Vin Jaune de Jura” this wine typically has higher acidity and shows some integrated floralness.

This wine has a fantastic flavour intensity and outstanding acidity.

2016 was our best vintage in the decade regarding Aszú wines. Small rains occurred mid-September and it ignited the botrytis development and prepared the vineyards for the long and warm autumn. Grapes were able to reach full phenolic ripens before noble rotting became dominant in the vineyards.

The wine has a fantastic intensity and complexity of flavours such as dried apricot, mango, marmalade, ginger, nutmeg and developed notes of butterscotch, caramel, forest floor and mushroom. All these sweet notes are supported with an extraordinary acidity that makes this wine so unique in the world of sweet wines.

This wine is drinking well along with foie gras, blue cheese, and last but not least can give an unparalleled experience with Cuban cigars.

SITUATION The Lieu-dit is a group of small parcels of unique vines.  Because of its territorial, cadastral and historical unity, it constitutes a unique terroir...  The alchemy between its soil, its relief, its orientation, its climate and its grape variety, gives birth to Protected Designation of Origin wines of exceptional typicity and style. The respect of the terroir combined with the know-how of passionate winegrowers allows the best wines to be extracted.

THE STORY 

In the 4th century, the birth of the vineyard is linked to the foundation of the monastery of Marmoutier by Saint Martin in 372. In the 14th century, some of the Vouvray vintages belonged to the French crown and featured prominently at the king's table.

The Chenin blanc grape variety, also known as Pineau de la Loire, originates from the Loire Valley and was called "plant d'Anjou" around the 10th century. It was Rabelais who popularised its current name in the 16th century.

History: A legacy of the past, the "Fosses d'Hareng" locality has its own history which is forever attached to it. The origin of the locality comes from a joke made by vineyard workers. When it was very cold, in this small valley with gentle slopes, the rows of frozen vines, stripped of their leaves, reminded them of the skeleton of a "pesquid". Remembering that in the Middle Ages, in their region, during Lent, people ate herring, the only fish allowed because it was not fatty, they named this place: "Les Fosses d'Hareng".

LOCATION The Lieu-dit "Les Fosses d'Hareng" is located in Vouvray, a commune in the Loire Valley which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

TERROIR The plots are situated in the hollow of a valley and face east-west. On the edge of the valleys, the climate is temperate and the soil warms up quickly under the oceanic influence that penetrates to the heart of the vineyard. The perruche soil is rich in siliceous elements (pebbles) on the surface and in the soil. It has a sandy-clay texture on a limestone parent rock. This combination brings fruitiness and roundness to the wine. Total surface area of the plots: 6.3 ha

IN THE VINEYARD La récolte débute après contrôle de maturité et de l’état sanitaire des raisins début octobre.Utilisation de méthodes prophylactiques (ébourgeonnage, effeuillage) afin de favoriser l’aération naturelle des souches et de réguler la charge ; puis, de culture raisonnée afin de permettre une lutte la plus naturelle contre les maladies cryptogamiques.

VINIFICATION 

- Pneumatic pressing with separation of the first drained juice.  - Cold settling for 24 hours. - Vinification at low temperature to favour the finesse of the aromas.  - The alcoholic fermentation is stopped by cold mutage to preserve residual sugars. 

AGEING Racking and maturing on fine lees for about 6 months before bottling.

SERVING Serve between 10-12°C.

TASTING NOTES Straw yellow colour. This semi-dry wine has an intense and complex nose, combining lime blossom, citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon) and ripe fruits (pineapple).  Lively attack. Voluminous, rich mouth, marked by notes of candied fruits. The slightly acidic finish reinforces the impression of freshness.

FOOD PAIRING This semi-dry wine goes very well with aperitifs, local charcuterie, roast poultry or poultry in sauce such as duck with peaches, blue-veined cheeses and goat's cheeses, sour tarts (apricot, lemon).

The Lieu-dit is a group of small parcels of unique vines.  Because of its territorial, cadastral and historical unity, it constitutes a unique terroir...  The alchemy between its soil, its relief, its orientation, its climate and its grape variety, gives birth to Protected Designation of Origin wines of exceptional typicity and style. The respect of the terroir combined with the know-how of passionate winegrowers allows the best wines to be extracted.

THE STORY This 100% Chenin Blanc grape variety is also called Pineau de la Loire. It originates from the Loire Valley, and was called "Plant d'Anjou" around the 10th century. It was Rabelais who popularised its current name in the 16th century. A legacy of the past, the place called "Les Pouches" has its own history which is forever attached to it.

Near the hamlet of Méron, on the banks of the Thouet, the plots of Les Pouches have been growing since the Middle Ages not far from the walls of Montreuil-Bellay. A fortified town, topped by a castle, Montreuil-Bellay is still the last walled town in Anjou. The Lieu-Dit "Les Pouches" is closely linked to the history of the town and its castle. Indeed, its rock was exploited for the construction of the castle and its vineyard, for centuries, provided the peasants of the town with work to feed themselves and offered the richest a succulent beverage. Its wine, with its timeless reputation, is a testimony to the past and an heir to this exceptional terroir.

LOCATION The hamlet "Les Pouches" is located in the commune of Montreuil-Bellay at the gateway to Anjou, Touraine and Poitou, a place of convergence, where tile and slate, wheat land and the vineyards of the Saumur region meet.

TERROIR The "Pouches" terroir is composed of a shallow soil of clayey-silty sands. In places, from the slopes of the Méron to the Loudunais fault, various limestone rocks come to light. These are very hard limestones, such as the lumpy white limestone of the Bathonian containing banks of blue-sky flint, which are used for stonework in camber. These elements allow for good soil drainage and a good potential for earliness. The plots of this hamlet are on a gentle slope, on an open landscape with a north-west/south-east exposure. Near to the Loire, on the plain, the climate is temperate oceanic. Total surface area of the plots: 8 ha

VINIFICATION The harvest begins after checking the ripeness and health of the grapes. - Destemming and pneumatic pressing. - Cold settling for 24 hours.  - Vinification at low temperature (17 to 19°C).

AGEING 

- Racking and maturing on fine lees for 3 to 4 months.  - Bottling, then storage in our cellars at a depth of 25 m.  - Isolated in a gallery, the wine continues its maturation protected from light and temperature variations.

SERVING Serving temperature: 10-12°C.

TASTING NOTES Pale gold colour with green highlights. Open, intense and expressive nose, with aromas of white fruit and citrus (grapefruit), enhanced by a floral note (lime). Round attack, lively point. Delicious mouthfeel with white fruits (vine peach). Aromatic persistence. Smooth finish, with a good freshness.

FOOD PAIRING This wine is a good accompaniment to fish in cream sauce, but also to Asian cuisine, fresh goat's cheese or our special recipe: roast duck with peaches. It is also an ideal aperitif wine.

THE STORY A legacy of the past, the place known as "La Mouraude" has its own history which is forever attached to it. La Mouraude is situated to the north of Montreuil-Bellay, near the mills, on the site of the old village of Saint Hilaire le Doyen. We do not know the exact date of the destruction of the old village, but it was in 1841 that it became part of Montreuil Bellay. We still have an anecdote from the wine-growing past of this village, which is only witnessed today by the grape wells and the dug out cellars. "It is said that every year at Pentecost, following disputes with the lord, one of the winegrowers of the Priory was taken for a ride on a donkey and thrown into the pond. In compensation, he was to be treated to a ghoul of the monks' best wine."

LOCATION The Lieu-dit "La Mouraude" is located to the north of Montreuil-Bellay, near the old mills.

TERROIR The plots of this Lieu-dit extend on a gentle south-facing slope facing Montreuil-Bellay. Developed on ancient alluvial deposits (rolled pebbles, quartz, flint, etc.) or heavy clay, this brown silty soil with little leaching heats up quickly and contributes to a good precocity. This Lieu-dit is regularly harvested first. The climate is temperate oceanic, but the hills of the Saumurois slow down the western winds and the plots farthest from the Loire, like those of "La Mouraude", are subject to a semi-continental influence. Total surface area of the plots: 9.5 ha

THE STORY A legacy of the past, the "Clos de Pérou" vineyard has a history that is forever attached to it. The history of this place depends on that of the village of Turquant which lived essentially from wine growing until 1880, when phylloxera destroyed the vineyard. The vine was replanted with rootstock but it took about ten years for it to return to its former glory. In order to survive, the winegrowers needed a complementary activity, so they invented the "pomme tapée". By taking the ferry, they went to get the fresh apples north of the Loire and prepared them in the underground ovens of the village.  Today, only one craftsman makes the "pomme tapée", but the vine still provides a living for many passionate winegrowers.

LOCATION Surrounded by high walls, the Clos de Pérou is located near the village of Turquant, on the edge of a plateau, on the steep cliff that borders the left bank of the Loire (altitude between 50 and 75 metres).

TERROIR This Lieu-dit is only developed on tuffeau stone (upper Turonian chalk). The soils developed are mostly deep, clayey. There is a significant area of thin soil where the chalk is usually less than 60 cm deep and provides a moderate but relatively constant supply of water, which is conducive to quality viticulture. The parcel benefits from a wide opening onto the Loire, and the Atlantic influences coming up the valley are clearly felt. The microclimate is mild and temperate. Total surface area of the parcels: 5 ha

IN THE VINEYARD In the middle of an area with a temperate oceanic climate, the Saumur Champigny PDO zone has a particularly hot microclimate in summer, hence the name of this appellation which comes from the Latin "campus igni" or field of fire.

The Lieu-dit is a group of small parcels of unique vines.  Because of its territorial, cadastral and historical unity, it constitutes a unique terroir...  The alchemy between its soil, its relief, its orientation, its climate and its grape variety, gives birth to Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée wines of exceptional typicity and style. The respect of the terroir combined with the know-how of passionate winegrowers allows the best wines to be extracted.

THE STORY A legacy of the past, the Lieu-Dit "Beauregard" has its own history that is forever attached to it. The Lieu-dit "Beauregard" is located in the commune of Restigné in the heart of the Bourgueil appellation. Vines have been planted here since Roman times, but its reputation is linked to that of Bourgueil Abbey, founded around 990 by Benedictine monks who, under the leadership of Abbot Baudry, knew how to extract the quintessence of their vines.

LOCATION The Lieu-dit "Beauregard" is part of the commune of Restigné. It is located near an ancient road: "le grand chemin", which linked Touraine to the Ocean, via Anjou. 

TERROIR The plots of land of the Lieu-dit "Beauregard" are located in a small valley with a slight slope. The vines, facing south, benefit from maximum sunshine. The Loire valley is about ten kilometres wide and was, a long time ago, a vast estuary covered by the sea. This results in a variety of soils.  In the "Beauregard" area, the subsoil is clayey and relatively deep. On the surface, this soil contains a large quantity of small flints, gravels and pebbles: the gravels (ancient alluvium of the Loire) on a sandy horizon. This terroir allows the vines to establish themselves well thanks to the characteristics of its subsoil and favours rapid warming of the vines thanks to its surface composition. The vines therefore show good precocity.  The climate is temperate. On the edges of the valleys, the soil heats up quickly under the oceanic influence which penetrates to the heart of the vineyard. Total surface area of the plots: 3 ha

IN THE VINEYARD Use of prophylactic methods (disbudding, leaf removal) in order to favour the natural aeration of the stocks and to regulate the load; then, of reasoned cultivation in order to allow the most natural fight against cryptogamic diseases.

VINIFICATION The harvest begins after checking the ripeness and health of the grapes on October 10th. - Total de-stemming of the harvest. - Fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats at 25°C.  - Daily light pumping over and punching down of the cap allow a good extraction of the polyphenolic potential. Long maceration (15 days).

AGEING After malolactic fermentation, the wines continue to mature in the coolness of our ageing cellar.

SERVING Serving temperature: 12-14°C.

TASTING NOTES Intense ruby colour. Very expressive and complex nose combining aromas of ripe red fruit (cherry), black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), violet and pepper. Ample and supple attack. Well-balanced palate with a nice tannic structure. Persistent finish on the fruit.

FOOD PAIRING This red wine is the ideal companion for grilled or roasted red meat, small game dishes, roast poultry in sauce such as turkey with cranberries. 

The Lieu-dit is a group of small parcels of unique vines.  Because of its territorial, cadastral and historical unity, it constitutes a unique terroir...  The alchemy between its soil, its relief, its orientation, its climate and its grape variety, gives birth to Protected Designation of Origin wines of exceptional typicity and style. The respect of the terroir combined with the know-how of passionate winegrowers allows the best wines to be extracted.

THE STORY 

In the 4th century, the birth of the vineyard is linked to the foundation of the monastery of Marmoutier by Saint Martin in 372. In the 14th century, some of the Vouvray vintages belonged to the French crown and featured prominently at the king's table.

The Chenin blanc grape variety, also known as Pineau de la Loire, originates from the Loire Valley and was called "plant d'Anjou" around the 10th century. It was Rabelais who popularised its current name in the 16th century.

History: A legacy of the past, the "Fosses d'Hareng" locality has its own history which is forever attached to it. The origin of the locality comes from a joke made by vineyard workers. When it was very cold, in this small valley with gentle slopes, the rows of frozen vines, stripped of their leaves, reminded them of the skeleton of a "pesquid". Remembering that in the Middle Ages, in their region, during Lent, people ate herring, the only fish allowed because it was not fatty, they named this place: "Les Fosses d'Hareng".

LOCATION The Lieu-dit "Les Fosses d'Hareng" is located in Vouvray, a commune in the Loire Valley which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

TERROIR The plots are situated in the hollow of a valley and face east-west. On the edge of the valleys, the climate is temperate and the soil warms up quickly under the oceanic influence that penetrates to the heart of the vineyard. The perruche soil is rich in siliceous elements (pebbles) on the surface and in the soil. It has a sandy-clay texture on a limestone parent rock. This combination brings fruitiness and roundness to the wine. Total surface area of the plots: 6.3 ha

IN THE VINEYARD La récolte débute après contrôle de maturité et de l’état sanitaire des raisins début octobre.Utilisation de méthodes prophylactiques (ébourgeonnage, effeuillage) afin de favoriser l’aération naturelle des souches et de réguler la charge ; puis, de culture raisonnée afin de permettre une lutte la plus naturelle contre les maladies cryptogamiques.

VINIFICATION 

- Pneumatic pressing with separation of the first drained juice.  - Cold settling for 24 hours. - Vinification at low temperature to favour the finesse of the aromas.  - The alcoholic fermentation is stopped by cold mutage to preserve residual sugars. 

AGEING Racking and maturing on fine lees for about 6 months before bottling.

SERVING Serve between 10-12°C.

TASTING NOTES Straw yellow colour. This semi-dry wine has an intense and complex nose, combining lime blossom, citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon) and ripe fruits (pineapple).  Lively attack.

THE STORY Hugues Brochard, who represents the fourth generation of winegrowers on the domaine, works his vineyards with great pride and character.  At the start of the 2000s, the diversity ad dispositions of the soils of the Nantes wine region led to the emergence of the concept of Muscadet as an expression of the excellence of the terroir. Today, the INAO recognises the Clisson cru. "La Petite Venise", which sits on a granite fault of the old Armorican massif. 

LOCATION The vines grow on the south-facing slopes of the Sèvre and Maine rivers in the commune of Maisdon sur Sèvre on the southernmost part of Armorican Massif. 

TERROIR The Cru Clisson's vines are over 40 years old. This plot of vines, covering an area of one hectare, thrives in a soil of clay combined with smooth pebbles on a granite beddrock, whose good drainage qualities endow the wine with superb minerality. 

VINIFICATION The grapes of natural richness, picked by hand, undergo a traditionnal vinification process.

THE STORY

Fabien HACHET, cellar master at the Cave de Saumur : "Son and brother of Muscadet winegrowers, I was born in 1981 in Nantes. Initially oriented towards studies in Biology and Chemistry, my motivation to become an oenologist was confirmed after a stay in Givry in 1997 (Burgundy). I did my graduate studies in Viticulture and Oenology.  Passionate about traveling and aware of the diversity of French and international vineyards, I successively enriched my know-how during ten years in contact with many recognized professionals in several regions of the world (Argentina, Chile, Loire Valley, Southwest, Jura, Oregon, Languedoc). Several years after visiting him as a student, the Cave de Saumur and its winemakers welcomed me in February 2009. Not far from my roots, a new challenge begins. Because of my origins, the vintages that I elaborate must above all delight the amateurs by the frankness of the expression and a spirit of conviviality".

This adds aromatic intensity, richness, and a sensation of sweetness. Subtle blending brings out beautiful aromatic complexity.

SERVING It is best enjoyed slightly chilled (12-14°C).

TASTING NOTES Beautiful red colour with black highlights. Powerful, complex nose, combining a wide range of fruity aromas (cherry, blackcurrant) and a hint of liquorice.

THE STORY Romain PARISIS, cellar master at Vignobles du Paradis. "Originally from the North of France, I discovered a passion for wine very early on through my many family stays in the Loire Valley. Fascinated by the work of the winegrower in his cellar, sublimating the grapes to create a remarkable wine, I quickly sought work with winegrowers during the school holidays. I obtained a BTS Viti-Oeno in Tours and then the oenology diploma in Dijon and I started working as an oenologist at the Cave des Vins de Bourgueil in 2001. Since then, I have learned to master the character of Cabernet Franc to extract all the finesse, freshness and fruitiness. »

During wine production we combine tradition with modern technology. During Aszu production the „mother – son” grape is harvested from the same vineyard. We use must from the same grape where the shrivelled and botrytised berries are coming from. All aszú wines are terroir wines. First we produce the must then with a special crusher we finely torn the skin of the aszu berries – during procedure the seeds do not crushed – . 24 hours maceration, then taking all the seeds with a filter from the top. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tank. After fining and filtering 2 weeks slow fermentation in barrel. We age the wine in 25-30 years old 250 litre barrels for 11 years.

Fülöp the Stork was born in Spain in the Ebro river valley in 2003. We do not know if he ever left Europe, but it is certain that he had been living in and around Bodrogkeresztúr since 2006. He brought up 34 fledglings; his partner always migrated, but he stayed. In winter he warmed himself on chimneys, drank water from the River Bodrog, hunted for voles and was lord of all the stork nests in the area.

We bottled this fresh and crisp Tokaji in memory of our phenomenal stork who was the stork of the neighbourhood and everyone for 15 years.

Švyturys Ekstra (European Export Lager, 5.2%) was

launched back in 1995 and became a real sensation. Due to its well-balanced taste, freshness and high drinkability, it shortly became the most popular beer in Lithuania. Later, Ekstra has claimed international recognition and a variety of medals in international beer championships and exhibitions. It has been brewed in Klaipėda brewery with respect to a uniform recipe. Ekstra is known for its bright white head, glaring golden colour, harmonious taste with a hint of hops tart finish. Švyturys Ekstra is the standard of the Lithuanian, full-taste lager.

Švyturys Baltas (German Hefeweizen, 5%) is a member of the Švyturys Traditional Collection. It represents the wheat beer production traditions in the region. The dark yellow turbidity of the beer fits well with a glaring white head. It has a fresh taste and aroma, which reminds a bouquet made of cloves, bananas, plums, orange peels and exotic fruits. Its taste reveals the flavour of a citrus fruit, banana and bread with a slightly tart finish. In Lithuania, it is popular to drink this beer from a chilled glass with a slice of lemon.

Švyturys Baltijos (Oktoberfest/Märzen, 5.8%) is Klaipėda brewery beer that is the closest to the historic one produced in the Klaipėda/ Memel region.
