Chateau Redortier Beaumes de Venise - $17.00

Chateau Redortier Beaumes de Venise(No rating yet)

Wine geeks know of Gigondas and Vacqueras that show off Grenache like no other. Bordering both is Beaumes de Venise which is known for fortified Muscat. On a steep hillside (at 1500 ft!) twin sisters Sabine and Isabelle make this earthy, spicy blend of Grenache, Syrah and Counoise. A gorgeous wine.

From the producer.

The sisters Sabine and Isabelle de Menthon beam when they talk about their 40+ acres of vines in the appellation of Beaumes-de-Venise. The vines are a great source of pride to the Menthon sisters and they hold them quite dear. Fifty-five year-old plantings of Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise from 1574 foot elevations are handpicked, sorted a minimum of two times and fermented from indigenous yeast. The wines are raised in cement tanks and finished in large oak foudres – thereby capturing the fragrant natural aromas of fig, sweet spice, plum and warm earth, all without manipulation or overextraction.
 

Temporarily out of stock. Sorry about that!

Orchard Wine Cellar Movers and Shakers This Week

  • Sweet Sunset Chocolate Merlot

    #1 Sweet Sunset Chocolate Merlot

    First lets say that this is Not ChocoVine. This wine is actually made with eighty five percent Merlot and than has natural chocolate cream added to the mix. This is the wine for anyone looking for sweet red or the chocolate lover at home. Great gift for the holidays.

  • Tintero Moscato

    #2 Tintero Moscato

    Sori Gramella refers to the one of the only single vineyard Moscatos, and Marco is the only producer to bottle this striking limestone amphitheater commercially. Once the 30 year old vines give up their bounty, and the grapes are harvested and pressed, they are kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation until an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible.

    Lightly sparkling, fruity and sassy, Poquito is small in size but big on taste. Delicate floral aromas combine with a sweet yet refreshing palate of ripe peaches, pears and apricots.

    A wonderful classic CA Cab with solid structure from the altitude and Hungarian oak. Reserved and dark on the nose with aromas of blackberries, hints of black licorice and coffee. Really nice and elegant. Touch on the masculine side with no jammy, jelly jar junk here. Wonderfully different.
