Baron Nathaniel is the jewel in the crown of this particular collection. The fruit used for this wine comes from the Grand Cru estates Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac. Like many Pauillac wines, Baron Nathaniel needs a few years in the bottle to reach its full potential. This 2014 vintage is just beginning to reveal its inner qualities.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The wine artworks of Baron Philippe de Rotschild SA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Founded in 1933, this winery is located in Bordeaux. In addition to vineyards in the Médoc, this renowned winery also owns numerous plots in Chile and California. Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA's ambition is to produce the world's finest wines, each in its own category. The wines of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family business are as much a work of art as they are a product of technical expertise.\n\n\n \nPauillac Baron Nathaniel is made primarily from grapes from the family's three grand crus. This is also supplemented by carefully selected grapes from Pauillac. Pauillac Baron Nathaniel is made from the classic Bordeaux grape variety. Cabernet Sauvignon (80 percent) finds its finest, perfect expression in this soil and climate. It allows for the development of incomparable aromas and tannins, which give the wine its character and aging potential. Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot (10 percent) give the wine its elegance, and Merlot (10 percent) provides the supple fruit.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The vinification of Baron Nathaniel Pauillac\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nBaron Nathaniel is made using traditional Bordeaux techniques. After the grapes are selected, destemmed, and pressed, alcoholic fermentation takes place between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The wine is macerated for about fifteen days to develop the fine aromas. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in barrels to give the wine more body. Baron Nathaniel is blended at the Saint-Laurent-Médoc estate. The wine is partially aged in wooden barrels for about eight months. After refining and bottling in the second year, the wine ages for a long period in the estate's cellars. Forward-looking tannins, ripe and round, give it a refined structure with plenty of body and length, and a long finish with elegant oak.","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775747330127,"sku":"38","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/baron-nathaniel-pauillac_38.webp?v=1770041770"},{"product_id":"montgras-quatro-red","title":"Montgras Quatro Red","description":"Montgras wines have dominated Perfectewijn's selection for years.

It proves to be solid and stable, as wine drinkers rave about this Montgras wine year after year. You can clearly see the winery's dedication to Montgras Quatro. As the name suggests, Montgras Quatro is a blend of four grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Malbec, and Syrah. Four powerful grape varieties that grow with great pleasure in the Montgras vineyards in Colchagua. The blend itself is the most remarkable aspect: it changes every year. The winemaker takes his time, testing and experimenting until he has created the most impressive flavor. Then the illustrator gets to work: each grape is represented by a color on the label. The number of times a color appears on the Montgras Quatro label corresponds to its percentage in this red wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Impressions of Montgras Quatro Red\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis vintage is another gem.

The Cheval des Andes vineyards are located in the wine heart of Argentina, Mendoza. Here, the grape vines are cultivated with great care. From the beautiful vines, you'll see only gems of grapes. This magnificent red wine is a unique Argentinean blend of typical French grape varieties: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. A Bordeaux wine with an Argentinean twist. The vines are all at least 80 years old and therefore produce few, but still perfect, grapes. The high altitude of the vineyards allows the grapes to mature in complete tranquility. The grapes receive ample warmth from the sun, but also the delightful coolness of the night and the wind that blows through the Andes. Meltwater, which slowly drips down from the perpetually snow-capped peaks, creates a natural irrigation system. This ensures the grapes receive sufficient, very pure water. The vineyards' terroir is perfect, and that's clearly evident in this red wine.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe best wine from Argentina\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe collaboration between Cheval Blanc from Saint-Émilion and Terrazas from Mendoza has an additional, unexpected French touch.

You'll understand by now that with these two partners, it's clear that only the best is good enough for the Cheval des Andes grapes. The harvest for this Argentinian red wine is carried out entirely by hand, very early in the morning. This way, the grapes are still dormant and cool, minimizing damage to the skins. The grapes are then transported in small crates to the press, where they are pressed very gently. This process releases only the finest juice. After vinification, this red wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. After bottling, it returns to the Cheval des Andes cellars for 24 months of bottle aging.

The choice of this vineyard was partly influenced by Nicolas Catena's daughter, Laura. She is part of the team that meticulously selects each vineyard to obtain the best vines. And they've certainly succeeded; the Malbec grapes enjoy abundant sunshine and the cooling breeze from the mountaintops. The sharp drop in nighttime temperatures contributes to the freshness and consistency of the harvest. After harvesting the Malbec grapes, which is done entirely by hand, this red Retamo wine is aged in oak. French and American oak are used to give it more depth.

This happens early in the morning, when the grapes are transported to the cellars in small boxes. Maceration then follows for ten days. Each grape variety is vinified separately and matured for at least twelve months in new French oak barrels. The juice is then combined and matured for another six months in oak barrels, allowing the unique characteristics of each variety to be developed.\n\n\n\n After almost two years, we can finally enjoy the Pasionado Cuatro Cepas. The aroma reveals hints of blackcurrant, strawberry, chocolate, and black tea. The flavor is very powerful and complex, with notes of plum, raspberry, and vanilla, as well as a hint of tobacco, oak, chocolate, and so on.","brand":"De Monnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775783604303,"sku":"8786","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/pasionado-cuatro-cepas-andeluna_8786.webp?v=1770111191"},{"product_id":"andeluna-pasionado-malbec","title":"Andeluna Pasionado Malbec","description":"One of Andeluna's three royal wines, this Pasionado Malbec is crafted from the finest Malbec grapes from Mendoza.

Winemaker Jennifer Wall has spent a lot of time developing her Malbec over the past few years. She knows better than anyone how Barefoot wines should taste, and this red wine is one of her favorites. But that wasn't easy, as Malbec only grows well in cooler climates. That's why Barefoot chose to plant the Malbec grape in a unique location, giving the grapes a bit more coolness.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The Malbec harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes grow on relatively young vines, yet in a superb climate. The rich soil structure provides the grapes with everything they need. The sun strengthens the bunches, while the cooling wind and nighttime temperatures provide richness. This ensures perfectly balanced harvests, and at the right ripeness, they are harvested early in the morning. This prevents damage to the Malbec bunches and preserves their freshness.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Full and very powerful this Barefoot Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n It's full-bodied and robust with a very good bite.
