2018 Spreitzer Spatlese Winkeler Jesuitengarten

Chateau de Saint Martin is one of the most premium producers in the appellation of Provence. Its vineyards are overlooked by a large Chateau built in 1740. The original site was a priory of the monks of Lerins, with the old cellars underneath still intact and dating from the 12th century. The vineyards of Chateau de Saint Martin sit at an altitude of up to 130 metres, and lie at the junction of two distinct geological zones, offering an unique terroir. Classified as a "Cru Classe," Saint Martin produces some of the finest Provencal Rose in the world, as well as other reds and whites in smaller amounts.

A truly dynamic bottle of bubbles. Incredibility fine for a bottle under $20.

Adegas Gran Vinum is a second generation, family owned winery that has been producing Albariño since the 1980’s, prior to the creation of the Denomination of Origin Rias Baixas. They focus exclusively on Albariño from the Val do Salnes sub-region, which offers vineyard sites with distinct maritime influence.

The wines produced from both estate vineyards and vineyards they manage seek a repeatable saline undercurrent to the typical peach, apricot and floral aromas of Albariño.

Delivers a bright and complex bouquet of lime, green apple, sea salts, stony minerality and a top note of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-ish and complex, with a good core, zesty acids, fine focus and grip and a long, bouncy finish.
