Boutinot began as a tiny importer in 1980, specialising in French wines. Paul Boutinot himself began by personally selecting the wines from France, back in the UK he would unload the trailer by hand. And deliver the crates of wines to customers himself. But good things grow and by the end of the decade they had become a bigger and better company. A company that not only sought out great wines but made them too. 10 years later, Boutinot France started in January 1990. The first office was in the middle of the vines in Julienas; perfectly located to navigate the Beaujolais and Macon regions on the quest to make beautiful wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, Boutinot’s French office has relocated to Macon, and has over 20 employees who take care of production across the whole of France, covering fresh whites and rosés from Gascony, mineral wines from Burgundy, and joyful varietal wines from Languedoc among others. There is no single model to source the wines; instead, a combination of sources are used, from large-scale, high-quality co-ops to small, family growers and single domaines, as well as their own vineyards in Cairanne and Saint-Vérand. Drawing on the expertise of their four in-house winemakers and a network of partner growers, they seek to deliver the highest quality-to-price ratio possible for every wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard and Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn unique take on Pinot Noir from two growers' plantings in the sun drenched vineyards of the Southern Languedoc.

Boutinot began as a tiny importer in 1980, specialising in French wines. Paul Boutinot himself began by personally selecting the wines from France, back in the UK he would unload the trailer by hand. And deliver the crates of wines to customers himself. But good things grow and by the end of the decade they had become a bigger and better company. A company that not only sought out great wines but made them too. 10 years later, Boutinot France started in January 1990. The first office was in the middle of the vines in Julienas; perfectly located to navigate the Beaujolais and Macon regions on the quest to make beautiful wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSamantha Bailey, who started as a wine enthusiast, was there at the beginning of this adventure. Since then, she has grown into Boutinot's Master Blender and has key responsibilities: building long-standing relationships, tasting, understanding the terroir and appellations, and pushing the boundaries. She is at the heart of the whole process from blending to quality assessment, making sure there is always a Boutinot touch in every cuvée. Boutinot are proud to also count Guillaume Letang and Julien Dugas in the winemaking team. Guillaume oversees the South of France and Languedoc, whilst Julien looks after the property in Cairanne. Together they have the local knowledge to select and blend the very best wines from throughout. Eric Monnin oversees every aspect of production and makes sure everything the winemakers blend and source is top quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard and Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Reine de l'Arenite, meaning 'Queen of the Arenite' refers to the terroir of pinky, crumbly sandstone of the La Madone vineyards, rated as one of the best vineyards in Fleurie.

The vines only require minimal work with the canopy, which enables the growers to obtain healthy grapes with good balance at harvest time. Yields vary between 7,000 and 8,000 kilograms per hectare. The proximity of the vineyards to the Pacific coast endows the wine with tremendous freshness, minerality, and cool climate typicity.

Different maceration and fermentation techniques were used, including: carbonic maceration; fermentation of destemmed and semi-destemmed grapes, and use of whole clusters. Some of the must was fermented at low temperatures to preserve the fresh fruit character of the variety. This process lasted around seven days, during which two punchdowns were performed daily, to extract colour delicately from the skins and juice from the berries. After malolactic conversion, 40% was racked into 225-litre French oak barrels, of which one-third was new, and the rest of second or third use.

The Bio Bio Valley where the grapes for Adobe Reserva Pinot Noir are grown has a moderate, humid, Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights prolonging the growing season.  The average rainfall is among the highest of the Chilean wine valleys.  The Bio Bio’s higher rainfall, strong winds and broader extremes make for more challenging conditions than those of Chile’s more northerly regions.  Vine growing here requires more patience, skill and nerve than in other valleys.  The Pinot grows on a red clay soil here.  The pressing is at low temperature to extract colour and aromas but no harsh tannins.  The fermentation is relatively cool with gentle pumpovers.  After fermentation is finished, 10% of the blend is aged for 6 months in French oak to give more complexity to the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutinot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12637942186078,"sku":"7804320457963","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/77B1D5D1-A38D-459B-97C2-C566B70061D8.jpg?v=1778771020"},{"product_id":"da-vero-biologico-rosso","title":"Da Vero Biologico Nero d’Avola, Sicilia DOC","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNero d'Avola\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry, \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, Full Bodied, Black Fruits, Juicy Tannins, Fresh,  Food Friendly, Easy Drinking, \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca title=\"View more Italian Products\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/italy\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSicilia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"View other Products Suitable for Vegetarians\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegetarian-wines\"\u003eVegetarian\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"View other products suitable for Vegans\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegan-wines\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/sustainably-made-wines\" title=\"Discover our Sustainably Made Wines\"\u003eSustainable\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"View other Organically Farmed and Practising Organic Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/organic-wines\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the charm of Da Vero's Biologico Vino Rosso Nero d'Avola, with its ripe aromas of black fruit and a subtle hint of spice.

There is no single model to source the wines; instead, a combination of sources are used, from large-scale, high-quality co-ops to small, family growers and single domaines, as well as their own vineyards in Cairanne and Saint-Vérand.

Now in the hands of the fourth generation, they own 290-hectares of coolclimate, sustainably grown and California Sustainable Wine Growing Alliance certified vines. They grow primarily Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the foot of the Gabilan Mountain Range. They sell grapes to some of the biggest names in the industry, but they retain some of the best for themselves. Their consultant winemaker is the industry pioneer and veteran, Dan Karlsen, who with over 40 harvests under his belt, has made wine at illustrious neighbours Talbott and Chalone. With a deftness of touch, he crafts true cool-climate expressions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which offer exceptional value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard and Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from two distinct Pinot Noir vineyards: Danny’s Vineyard and Grava, two of the most northerly plantings in Monterey County. The vineyards nestle up to the Gabilan Mountain Range on the eastern side of the Salinas Valley; approximately 10 miles directly across from the Santa Lucia Highlands. The marine influence of the nearby Monterey Bay and the morning fog which clears for the afternoon sun, results in a cool mesoclimate and a long hang-time for the fruit. The grapes reflect the cool climate character, with complex aromatics and flavours and natural balancing acidity. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably and are certified by the California Sustainable Wine Growing Alliance. Vines are VSP trained and pruned to two bud spurs spaced approximately 10cm apart; the vines are shoot thinned, leaf pulled and shoots are positioned with wire moves. These methods ensure adequate sunlight for optimising fruit-forward expression in the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were destemmed into fermentation vessels where they underwent fermentation lasting for seven days. A seven-day maceration period followed to enable optimal extraction of flavour, colour and tannins. The wine was settled, racked and spent eight months ageing in a combination of stainless steel tanks with French oak influence to impart complexity. The wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hallgarten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43897436537071,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/4F393C47-2D65-4F54-B08A-CCCC331F3C26.jpg?v=1778772320"},{"product_id":"burgerspital-veitshochheimer-spatburgunder","title":"Bürgerspital Veitshöchheimer Sonnenschein Spätburgunder","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 137.157px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eSpätburgunder (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/pinot-noir\" title=\"View other Pinot Noir Wines\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDry, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\" title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/germany\" title=\"View other products from Germany\"\u003eGermany\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eWürzburg, Franken\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e13%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.9188%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 67.7122%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eVegan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the complex and refined flavours of Bürgerspital Veitshöchheimer Sonnenschein Spätburgunder.

The first is the oldest Carignan vineyard in South Africa (planted in 1979), the second is a smaller vineyard planted in 2003.  The site itself is rugged and the ground full of quartz – when the sun shines down (which is a lot of the time) it looks spectacular. The wine itself is made in two parts that are blended together - the older vineyard adds intense complexity and spends 9 months in 600L used French oak barrels before being blended with the juice from the smaller vineyard, of which 30% is whole cluster fermented, to add freshness and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moreno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44144542253295,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/718B4A89-090E-4FAC-8427-492B1633C6BD.jpg?v=1778772562"},{"product_id":"cortese-nostru-frappato","title":"Cortese Nostru Frappato","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003eFrappato\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003eDry, \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\" title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, Light Bodied, Red Fruit, Soft, Fresh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/italy\" title=\"View more Italian Products\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/italy\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003eSicily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e13%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-selected=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegetarian-wines\" title=\"View other Products Suitable for Vegetarians\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegetarian-wines\"\u003eVegetarian\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegan-wines\" title=\"View other products suitable for Vegans\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegan-wines\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Discover our Sustainably Made Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/sustainably-made-wines\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/sustainably-made-wines\"\u003eSustainable\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/organic-wines\" title=\"View other Organically Farmed and Practising Organic Wines\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/organic-wines\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the unique style of Cortese Frappato, developed on their estate in Sicily.

The wine remains completely unoaked, resting briefly on fine lees before being blended, fined using vegan-friendly methods, and bottled early to lock in pure drinkability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RWA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55238933971317,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/D03C450D-DB7D-4269-8720-8996FCBBA362.jpg?v=1778773167"},{"product_id":"heaphy-pinot-noir","title":"Heaphy Pinot Noir","description":"\u003ctable style=\"height: 137.157px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/pinot-noir\" title=\"View other Pinot Noir Wines\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eDry, \u003ca title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, Medium Bodied, Red Fruit, Elegant, Spice, Food Friendly, Juicy, Fresh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"View other products from New Zealand\" href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/new-zealand\"\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNelson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e75cl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e14.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegetarian-wines\" title=\"View other Products Suitable for Vegetarians\"\u003eVegetarian\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegan-wines\" title=\"View other products suitable for Vegans\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/sustainably-made-wines\" title=\"Discover our Sustainably Made Wines\"\u003eSustainable\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this wine we enjoy the unique character and breezy warmth of Nelson's terroir with a delicious Pinot Noir from Heaphy Vineyards.

For nearly a century, the house has had the great fortune of working with vineyards which are superbly situated and judiciously farmed. These vines consistently yield very high-quality fruit. For example, some of the vines for Trénel’s Beaujolais-Villages are upwards of 60 years of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaison Trénel is guided by the principles of authenticity of fruit, and authenticity of terroir. The house has always strived to produce wines and fruit liqueurs that exemplify the purest expression of their origins. This sentiment is born from a love of the land, as well as a deep respect and continued practice of Burgundian traditions. It also informs the house’s work ethic, written in Latin and evidenced on Maison Trénel’s emblem: Bene Facit Id Quod Bene Amat, or “…we can only succeed at that which we know well, and love.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015 Maison Trénel was bought by M.

Initially a grape-selling business, Gianluca’s grandfather began selling a small proportion of wine in barrels, primarily for the local market. However, the pivotal shift occurred in the 1970s when Gianluca’s father, Elio, courageously abandoned a banking career to fully embrace winemaking. Elio championed 100% estate bottling, and in 1978 he introduced three distinct Crus from single vineyards: Gavarini Chiniera, Ginestra Casa Maté, and Rüncot. Gianluca Grasso joined his father in 1995 and gradually he modernised vineyard and cellar practices, while upholding traditional techniques. The estate comprises 45 hectares, with 18 dedicated to vines, complemented by preserved forests and grasslands. This commitment to biodiversity, rather than vineyard expansion, safeguards the estate’s ecosystem and offers protection against adverse weather, underscoring a forward thinking approach rooted in deep respect for the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard and Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines are planted on a south-facing slope at an elevation of 280 metres. This aspect ensures ample sunlight exposure promoting optimal ripening. The soil composition is a blend of clay and limestone, offering a moderately loose-packed structure that balances water retention and drainage. This provides the vines with consistent nourishment and prevents waterlogging. The Guyot -trained vines are planted at a density of 4,500 vines per hectare, and have an average age of approximately 30 years, indicating mature root systems that delve deep into the terroir, drawing complex minerality and character from the soil. Viticultural practices adhere to the family’s long-standing sustainable and organic philosophy. Cow and green manure are employed as fertiliser and chemical treatments are not used. Massal selection has been the chosen method for vine propagation since the estate's inception, with distinct selections made for each specific vineyard. This approach recognises the unique identity of vines suited to particular sites and ensures the preservation of varietal typicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation took place with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Daily pump-overs took place to obtain gentle extraction of flavour, colour and gentle tannins. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic conversion, gaining depth and roundness. Vinified without the influence of oak, the wine remained in stainless steel tanks until bottling during April.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hallgarten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57111705911669,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/3537\/2571\/files\/20260501-155922.jpg?v=1778774023"},{"product_id":"mikro-ktima-titos-goumenissa","title":"Mikro Ktima Titos Goumenissa","description":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA fragrant, medium-bodied Northern Greek red blending native Xinomavro and Negoska for bright summer berry fruit, subtle savoury herbs, and silky, food-friendly tannins.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 137.156px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e80% Xinomavro, 20% Negoska\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 39.1875px;\"\u003eDry,\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/red-wine\" title=\"View our Full Collection of Red Wines\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e, Medium Bodied, Herbal, Food Friendly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eGreece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eGoumenissa, Macedonia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e13.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 13.9373%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 85.7143%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegetarian-wines\" title=\"View other Products Suitable for Vegetarians\"\u003eVegetarian\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aitkenwines.com\/collections\/vegan-wines\" title=\"View other products suitable for Vegans\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePours a bright, translucent ruby red.

In 2018, Gerovassiliou and his longtime winemaking partner Vassilis Tsaktsarlis (of Ktima Biblia Chora fame) took on full stewardship of the estate. While they brought state-of-the-art vinification and cellar facilities, they kept the core ethos intact: small-scale, artisan craftsmanship celebrating the distinctive, unhurried character of Goumenissa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eViticulture\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's vineyards sit in the rolling foothills of Mount Paiko in Central Macedonia, sheltered along the verdant banks of the River Sirios.

Fermentation takes place with temperature control and gentle cap management to draw out aromatics without extracting harsh tannins.
