The Irreverent Red is a unique blend of Garnacha, Syrah and Monastrell, from vines between 15 and 35 years of age. The vineyards are 700 – 800 metres above sea level and dry farmed, meaning no irrigation is used. The vineyards produce very small, but concentrated berries which allows for all the flavor in this wine! Each variety is vinified separately before being added to the final blend. It only sees a kiss of oak, a mere four months, to preserve the freshness and integrity of the wine. This wine is very expressive with loads of dark berry fruit elegantly presented with a plush texture and good density on the palate. Hints of spice and earthiness frame the dark fruits, and the wine has a long smooth finish. This wine is great on it’s own, or pairs great with roast meats, dried meats and aged cheese!
The 2014 Gravity was our Wine Of The Year in 2017!!!
Gravity Red Blend is named for a remote, hard-to-reach block on one of the lowest slopes of the Monte Rosso Vineyard.
This dark, dense wine is a blend of six varietals led by Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel that vividly expresses the power and depth of a great mountain vineyard. It is filled with intense fruit flavors that range from boysenberry and blueberry jam to blackberry and fig, woven through with lovely accents of black truffle and dusty cocoa that create a full-bodied, luscious mouthfeel.
Real Companhia Velha is the oldest and most emblematic wine company in Portugal, having celebrated this year 261 years of existence and uninterrupted activity in the service of Port Wine. Since the founding on the 10th of September in 1756 by Royal Charter of D. José I, King of Portugal, the importance of this Ex-Majestic Company was reflected by the valuable services to the community.
A lithe red, with good cut to the red berry and plum tart flavors, supported by fresh acidity, showing notes of pepper and hot stone on the minerally finish. Offers impressive purity to the fruit components. .
It’s radiant force of fruit and flower emerges in a unique nose with notes of blackberry, violet, and black cherry that daze the nostrils…With a taste, balanced in acid, softness and tannins, of a suppleness and force that is simply phenomenal…An absolute masterwork of nature, technique, humanity and pure passion.
