?? Deep ruby red color. A very original wine, though a bit too much oak influence. Some nice cherry cola aromas and black fruit, ink on the nose and palate. A sinewy and soundly structured wine in the mouth, with a long and promising finish. With a smarter use of oak, this wine would be great. ?? This is the tasting note elaborated by our jury for the selected wine of Cantine Telaro.? #5StarWines2024 #WineWithoutWalls2024 #5StarWinestheBook #ItalianWine #VinoItaliano

Some good questions. I look at winemaking as a spectrum, at one end of the spectrum you have mass market,highly manipulated,overly sweet wines that are almost confected beverages driven more by additives and technologies than respect for the variety or place. Wines that are guilty of “sins of commission “. At the far other end of the spectrum you have “zero zero” wines where high volitile acidity,h2s issues and floaters are worn like some kind of badge of honour. These wines are guilty of “sins of omission”. VA and Brett aren’t terroir , they obliterate any sense of place or variety at high levels. As a winemaker ,I strive to be at neither end of the spectrum, shooting for delicious thoughtfully crafted wines with a real sense of place. “Either,Or” is potentially a false construct of “agenda” wine. The spectrum of winemaking is more diverse and nuanced than the polarized evangelicals for one side or the other pretend. Your thoughts? #winemaking #bcwine #wine

All delivered in an understandable, relatable way. ???????? ?????????? - wines that come from your back garden that tell a great story, taste amazing, and can be enjoyed by many. ???????????????????? ???????? ?????????? ???????????? - offering our wines in cans, in barrels, reusable wine bottles, producing wine cocktails - you name it. ???????????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???????????????? ?????????????????????? - being socially aware to support our communities to grow together. #winelover#wine #bubbles #2024 #havingfun #lovingwine #principles

On the Palate: A Wine’s Structure Your Unique Palate If you’re into wine, no doubt you’ve encountered the terminology of “nose” and “palate”. This is probably obvious, but the nose of a wine is everything that can be gleaned from smelling, while the palate encompasses everything that is gleaned from actually tasting a wine. The main component of the palate is what’s called a wine’s structure, which has five main components: tannins, acidity, alcohol, sugar, and body. In this post, we’ll do a brief overview of each component, and then discuss how knowing your own personal palate can guide you towards the wines you like.

When discussing wine, the terms "aftertaste" and "finish" both describe the lingering flavor in your mouth post-sip. They are essentially interchangeable, representing qualities like crisp, smoky, spicy, and smooth. Premium wines boast longer finishes compared to lower-tier options. Therefore, a prolonged aftertaste indicates a superior wine quality. #WineTerminology #WineQuality

We just spent two incredible days at the Oxford Wine Festival, where 1,000 wine lovers tasted 500 wines from 50 wineries—and one little non-alcoholic wine brand. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we stayed true to our belief that BOLLE is a wine brand first, that just happens to be non-alc. The results... We conducted around 400 tastings (customers paid for each one), and the reactions were eye-opening: 5-10%: Actively searching for a good non-alc wine. 30-40%: Tried it before realizing it was non-alc and were stunned "would not have known" 30-40%: Skeptical, but after convincing them to taste, they loved it. 10-20%: Refused to try—“Why pay for something without alcohol?” What stood out was that over 80% of people had tried non-alc beer and liked it. But 0% had previously tried a non-alc wine they enjoyed (literally nobody). By the end, we converted 400 people into Bollievers. Next time someone asks if they like non-alc wine, they’ll say: "Yes, we like BOLLE." #oxford #wine #tasting #skeptical

Why are white wine grapes harvested before red wine grapes? White wine grapes are picked first primarily due to differences in ripening and winemaking processes. White grapes reach optimal ripeness sooner, ensuring they retain the acidity essential for a fresh, crisp taste. Harvesting early also helps preserve delicate aromas and flavors. Red grapes, on the other hand, benefit from extended time on the vine to develop deeper colors, richer tannins, and more complex flavors. This additional ripening period allows the grapes to achieve the desired balance for producing robust, full-bodied red wines. Thus, the timing of the harvest is crucial to achieving the unique characteristics that define white and red wines.

Porfidio Dolce.X is a fortified agave wine, indeed, the world’s first! Dolce.X is made like traditional grape wine, but from agave instead of grape, that is then fortified, like a port wine, but with agave spirits instead of brandy. Dolce.X tastes undeniably sweet, hence its name, because it uses the same wine production technique as Pineau des Charantes, the French version of Port. Dolce.X targets drinkers with a sweet tooth who like Tawny Ports, Pineaux or Spaetlaesen. Porfidio Dolce.X is barrel-aged for 7 years. | https://lnkd.in/dpF32HYe
