Wine of the Week

wine of the week at The Gourmet ShopSelbach Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riseling Spatlese ’19 “The 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is pure, intense and flinty on the perfectly ripe nose that reveals raisins and crunchy slate aromas and, again, represents the great terroir of the ZSU. The finish is very dense, long and intense but by no means fat or clumsy. This has piquancy, salinity and enormous grip. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink 2025-2060.

wine of the week at The Gourmet Shop

Wine of the Week

Tikal Amorio Malbec ’17 “The pure Malbec 2017 Amorío comes from Paraje Altamira, with part of the wine fermented in roll fermentors and all the wine matured in barrique. It’s aromatic and floral, with good ripeness and a juicy palate. It has some tannins that might need a little bit of time in bottle. The flavors are focused and clean and combine some primary notes with some spices.”

Wine of the Week

wine of the week at The Gourmet ShopVina Zorzal Garnacha ’20 “The incredibly young and juicy 2020 Garnacha was produced with grapes from different villages, Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero and Lerga, hence a regional blend that for the first time contains grapes from the cooler Lerga that adds lower pH, more freshness and complexity to the blend. They do a soft extraction in stainless steel using 20% full clusters and indigenous yeasts, achieving a wine with moderate alcohol (13.47%) and good freshness (pH 3.47). I felt like the wine had gone one step up in complexity and depth from the previous vintage; it’s precise, harmonious, elegant and nuanced and keeps varietal purity. It’s medium-bodied and has very fine tannins with herbal freshness, reminiscent of acid berries and bay leaf. This is a steal! One to buy by the case…” 92 Pts Wine Advocate $13.99/btl
