Expert Review - Vintage 2022 

Luis Gutierez of The Wine Advocate writes 92 Points | The white 2022 Terroir Històric Blanc is the regional wine that blends grapes from nine different villages, 75% Garnacha Blanca and 25% Macabeo from different soils, slate, clay, granite and alluvial. The bunches fermented for three to five days in stainless steel, and the wine matured in stainless steel for six months. It has 13% alcohol and mellow acidity, 4.5 grams. It has a spectacular nose that is very expressive, aromatic, clean and open with pungent notes of pollen and beeswax. It's juicy, round and clean with persistent and pungent flavors, not very high in acidity, eminently Mediterranean. Really impressive.

Expert Review

Producer Description 

Elaborated from the finest terroirs in Cognac which are Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne and Fins Bois whose harvests took place during the decade of 1990. 

Lot n°90 owes its unique character to long aging in oak barrels, which gives it richness and complexity, the main grape variety being Ugni Blanc. 

To the eye, Ce Cognac already offers a beautiful, seductive golden color. 

The attack on the nose, very fresh, reveals notes of pear and quince, which evolve towards herbaceous elements, aromas of fruit Secs, nuts and almonds. 

As for the palate, it is firm, of good length, powerful, reflecting the aromas presented by the nose: a quality Cognac, typical and young.

Winemaker Description 

The 2023 growing season in Paso Robles was extended due to the wet winter and cool spring weather, allowing extra hang time for fruit to develop flavor, without sacrificing acidity. The resulting wine shows beautiful complexity and depth, with concentrated fruit flavors including dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Aging in French oak deepens our flavor profile, contributing to the tobacco and spice notes. The structure is firm but approachable, providing a fine backbone for the rich fruit.

The individual lots for this wine spent months aging separately in French Oak, before Winemaker Abigail Estrada hand-selected the final blend. The result is richness yet restraint — allowing this Cabernet to be paired with an array of cuisines or simply enjoyed on its own.

On the nose, there are lovely aromas of Satsuma plum, black cherry, and subtle graphite from Paso Robles’ mineral-rich soils. On the palate, you'll find flavors of ripe red cherry, mixed berry pie, and Tahitian vanilla. The finish is smooth with well-integrated tannins. It’s opulent, richly textured, and beautifully balanced.

Christina Pickard The Wine Enthusiast 90 Points |  Appealing aromas of lime, white peach and kiwi fruit lead to a palate that's shows lovely, delicate fruit woven neatly with bright acidity, and padded by a softly pithy texture. It steers clear of the green, underripe pungency common to this style and is the better (half) for it.

Winemaker Description 

History: George Elworthy trained as a winemaker at Lincoln University, and worked several vintages in Marlborough and overseas. When Jules Taylor started her own wine label in 2008, trained winemaker and hubby George Elworthy became general manager (or “general dogsbody”). Not wanting to let wife Jules have all the fun, George launched his own label in 2011. With his tongue firmly in his cheek, he called it “The Better Half” Style: Delicious, fruit-driven wines that are meant to be enjoyed right now. Not left to gather dust in your wine rack.

Winemaking: Wines are fermented using minimal intervention and modern winemaking techniques.

Vineyards: Grapes are sourced from a selection of grower and estate vineyards in sunny Marlborough, all of which are 100% certified by the Sustainable Winegrowers NZ Scheme.

2024 Vintage:

The 2024 Marlborough season was warm, dry and windy. Vine growth began late, and it quickly became obvious that the harvest would be much smaller than previous years.

With fewer berries on the vine, the warm temperatures through summer caused one
of the shortest ripening periods on record. Cool evenings helped retain acidity during ripening and balanced the concentrated, ripe fruit flavors.

Grapes were harvested from various Marlborough sites throughout March 2024, with a high proportion coming from the slower ripening, more aromatic Awatere subregion. The wine was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures and bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.

Food Match:

Enjoy al fresco with fresh shellfish with a squeeze of lime, or any kind of salad. For
something more substantial, pair it with Thai- or Vietnamese-flavored dishes.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Color: Pale yellow.

Nose: Punchy citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit leap from the glass, along with notes of guava and fresh cut grass.

Palate: Dry, juicy and intensely flavored on the palate, with bright citrus notes and a pop of guava. The finish is long, carried by vibrant, refreshing acidity and a dash of salinity.

The liquid within The Famous Grouse is very high quality and in fact one dram of The Famous Grouse is sold every three minutes in the UK making it the biggest selling whisky in the United Kingdom, so it must be doing something right. Now we have that cleared up…

Greg’s note: Very delicate, more so than expected, A hint of grain but not too much, there’s a sweetness there but not sickly, more subdued, like a warming dessert. A really good blended whisky for the price and one that a lot of people should reconsider.  - GreatDrams.com

The Gardener Gin by Brad Pitt

A PIECE OF ART

In a single bottle, The Gardener captures the soul of the French Riviera. Beau & Bon. Like a work of art, The Gardener is a quest for perfection, dreamed up by friends who share a dedication to art and craft. It expresses light and shadow, sea and sky, earth and air. Using his know how of distilling traditional London Dry Gin, Tom created The Gardener with a modern twist.

To achieve his vision of a perfect gin, he chose each of The Gardener’s ingredients with an uncompromising sense of quality. Tom’s recipe is a unique creation distilled with fresh citruses – bitter orange Bigarade, sweet orange and pink grapefruit – grown locally in the heart of the French Riviera.

Fresh and soft, subtle and pure, The Gardener is a study in elegance and harmony—the very image of nature itself. This 42% London Dry Gin inspired by the French Riviera is 100% organic and 100% French, the result of a creation from Charente. The base of this gin is juniper, angelica, liquorice and coriander. The uniqueness of this spirit lies in the (fresh) citrus fruits selected: Bigarade orange, sweet orange and grapefruit (all three grown in the heart of the French Riviera, in Vallauris).

Certifications:  EU Organic

About The Brand:

A triptych of sky, land, and fire, The Gardener and its creators embody the elements of nature required to create a spirit that captures the French Riviera. From this meeting of like minds, each with exceptional skill, came a new idea. A dreamer, a visionary and a man deeply connected to nature, Brad desired to create a spirit reflective of the place with which he fell in love—a spirit as inspired and iconic as the atmosphere from which it was conceived. The pursuit of beauty and perfection led him to imagine The Gardener.
