The Funky Bunch (4-pack)
This pack features
(Douro, Portugal) Folias de Baco - PT Nat Curtido 2022
Fantastic orange pet nat - this 100% Moscatel Galego spends a short time on skins before finishing its fermentation in the bottle to create its perfect bubbles. Lovely stone fruit and zest on the nose, refreshing acidity, very lean at 10% abv, such a fun and quaffable beverage to toast most occasions.
(Piemonte, Italy) Cascina Zerbetta - Quattrocento 2021
A special expression of Sauvignon Blanc grown on heavy, iron-rich red clay soils in the Monferrato zone in Piemonte. With a bit of skin contact this wine picks up some mild colour, texture, and a very savoury, flinty edge that layers around a core of fruit. Complex and unique.
(Hlohovec, Slovakia) Slobodne - Majer NV
This is a pretty special red. This multi vintage blend is made from Blaufrankisch, Alibernet, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It was made over the course of various years, and is a blend of wines aged in a varitety of vessels including barrels, steel tanks, clay eggs, and more. The result is a rounded and textured red with very soft tannins, a juicy core but complemented by sweet spices and earthiness
(Languedoc, France) Mas d'Agalis - Navis 2019
A serious, structured red from Southern France. This Mourvedre & Grenache dominant blend went through strict selection of the best bunches, was made in an infusion style for a delicate expression, and was aged in barrels for 18 months. The result is a wine that is drinking beautifully now but will keep improving. Potent aromatic of red fruits and wild herbs, a medium/structured body, and a complex, long finish.
