Winemaker Description 

Clear pale yellow colour. Delicate nose combining fresh grapes with elegant mineral tones. Equally dynamic on the palate, with a clear emphasis on freshness and aromatic clarity. The slightly saline finish.

Having become a reference in the appellation, Claude-Michel Pichon has enjoyed a solid career in the world of wine. After starting out as a cellar master and buyer for a trading house, he succeeded his father Raymond in 2009 at the head of Château La Chevillardière and its 88 hectares of vines.

He developed the operation by purchasing plots abandoned due to a lack of successors, while planting new areas. "Our whites are characterized by fresh mineral notes and a real typicity, like those of Château de La Chevillardière which benefit from a terroir of granite and micaschist," he considers.

It is important to make Muscadet known. And if we do not yet produce communal vintages, it is undeniable that this recognition constitutes real added value for the general public who are not necessarily familiar with our products."

Winemaker Description 

A luscious blend crafted each year to take advantage of the grapes that performed best in the vintage.

The nose opens with a mix of ripe blackberries, blueberries and dark cherries, intertwined with notes of mocha, vanilla and cracked peppercorn. The palate bursts with juicy concentrated fruit flavors, lush dark plum and a hint of boysenberry leading the way.

This wine features a plush, velvety entry, followed by a full-bodied mouthfeel that
reveals fine tannins and balanced acidity.

Producer Description 

Generous blackberry, huckleberry, dark currants, and plum flavors wrapped around a core of vanilla.

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Wine Spectator 91 Points | Vanilla and resin accents frame the core flavors of boysenberry, blackberry and plum in this firmly structured red. Flashes of violet and spices emerge as this fades gracefully on the long aftertaste.

James Suckling 91 Points | Pretty intense nose with crushed cherries, flowers and stones. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh tannins and a succulent finish drenched with sour cherries.

Winemaker Description 

Expressive floral tones of wild rose, fresh berries, and crushed mineral. The power and intensity of the bouquet is especially attractive and bold. The wine’s dark concentration within layers of blueberry and earth is perfectly balanced by those ethereal aromas.

Serve with pasta primavera, pizza margherita, and grilled or roasted white meats.

Producer Description 

Guimaro means 'rebel' in local dialect. Old vine Mencia vines leads to concentrated and juicy grapes. Savory and silky, with luscious flavors of red fruit, plums, earth, and sweet spice.

Cultivated since Roman times, Ribeira Sacra’s steep terraced vineyards are some of the most picturesque and treacherous to work in the world of wine – think of the Douro, Cote Rotie, or the Mosel.  Like those most dramatic terruños, winegrowing here is not for the faint of heart; it takes spirited determination, eternal optimism, a sense of tradition, and a willingness to collaborate.  Pedro Rodríguez of Adegas Guímaro embodies all of these qualities.

The historic property of Chteau du Hureau - one of the only wine producing Chateaux in the Loire - is among the top producers of Saumur-Champigny. The chteau has been in the family for generations, and today, is run by fifth generation vigneron Philippe Vatan and his daughter Agathe.

Their entry-level "Tuffe" is 100 percent Cabernet Franc fermented with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel tank.

Dark, intense and sappy, with plenty of lovely fruit and floral notes, balanced by acidity and minerality from the underlying limestone soils. The quality and intrigue of the Chteau du Hureau wines continue to soar, as does their following at home and abroad."~Distributor Notes

Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points Points | The 2023 Argali Rose is terrific, with a vibrant, refreshing, crisp style that brings plenty of fruit and depth.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

Tim Atkin MW, 92 Points | Twenty-nine different components from Benguela Cove, Stanford and the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley make up the blend of this stylishly packaged Sauvignon Blanc. Sidestepping tutti-frutti flavours in favour of something more profound, this has layers of wet stones, greengage and pink grapefruit, subtle oaking and a salty undertone. 2024-27

James Suckling 91 Points | Gentle chopped herb (think tarragon) and snow pea aromas on the nose with sliced fresh pears and grapefruit. Wonderfully fresh
and zesty, medium-bodied, with a clean and lightly salty finish. Drink now.

Winemaker Description 

Made in a way ensuring the personality of site and soil is not over-ridden by the forceful character of the variety, this wine exhibits the typical Southern Right balance of tight “Old World” minerality and length with hints of “New World” texture and body. The 2023 is a wine that favours origin expressive individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of simple, pungent varietal aroma.

A significant percentage of fruit from iron and clay-rich soil has added a textural and structural component and additional overall complexity to this wine. The sandstone soils have contributed their typical bright, tensile character and a marked, saline minerality. This is Sauvignon blanc as fine wine, not Sauvignon blanc as simply a varietal expression.

The 2020 Arsonist Red Blend is our left of center take on the classic Bordeaux blend. Anchored by Petit Verdot this robust red has loads of earthy leather and brambly fruit in the bouquet. The blend of three powerhouse reds delivers broad flavors of plum, blackberry, mocha and vanilla; barrel aging adds a nice dose of oak and a grip of tannin. The finish lingers with boysenberry and barrel spice.

James Suckling 94 Points | Offers fresh lemon, apple and pear, as well as sweetly fragrant spice. Pure and sleek palate with crisp apple, pear and lemon building into the long finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The Wine Advocate 93 Points | The 2021 Gun Metal Riesling is tasted from magnum. I should mention that, as magnums are a magnificent way of storing wine. The wines stay fresher, for longer, and the only trouble is storing them. And working out when to drink them (of course, the magnum format has saved a great many bottles of mine from being opened, so it's a worthy investment). This is pithy and rocky, with florals, minerals and talc in equal measure. The fruit is frothy and soft, yet the acidity is like a coiled spring within. What a lovely, mineral wine; it's expansive and tight at once.

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | This is a bright and bouncy Riesling with aromas of apple skins and fresh squeezed lime, with bass notes of kerosene and honey. The mouthfeel is chalky and pithy with razor's edge acidity and a long, limey finish. Balanced and varietal, this may be a bit austere for those unaccustomed to the bone dry Aussie Riesling style, but paired with the right cheese or seafood, or aged in bottle a few years for more honeyed complexity, and it should win over most hearts and palates.

Winemaker Description 

Pale straw with green tinges. Citrus, especially lime, predominates the flavor profile while carrying the trademark minerality that Gun Metal is renowned for. Petals, minerals and talc. The palate is delicate, refined and intense, with a firm, dry finish and lingering aftertaste. Citrus, mineral and powder-dry finish.

Winemaker Notes

Black is a revolutionary new style of port. The bright aromatics, incredible freshness and perfect balance bring it outside the stodgy "vintage-character" category. Enjoy it any time: chilled, before dinner, after, for a seductive edge to cocktails, as an indulgence with chocolate. The custom-designed bottle is distinctive, modern yet timeless, reflecting the uniqueness of Noval Black. It is simply the most beautiful port bottle we've seen. 

Critic Notes

• 91 Jeb Dunnuck

  I always love this cuvée, which offers tons of character for a great price. Classic Noval notes of spicy red and blue fruits, orange blossom, cigar, tobacco, and candied mint emerge from the NV Black, and It's round, supple, and full-bodied on the palate, with nicely balanced sugar, a layered yet elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. 

• 90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  'Black' is a new blend produced from classic varieties that do not make it into the Quinta do Noval vintage. There are ripe blackberries, tar, smoke and orange liqueur on the nose that takes time to open. The palate is medium-bodied, very sleek on the entry, fleshy black fruits, sloe, spice and just a hint of white pepper, leading to a very focused finish.
