Here is your next Champagne skill, and if you master this level, you truly are the Champagne Kings and Queens of the world. The Movia Puro wines, which have been made famous locally by disgorgement performances at 13 Celsius for years, are iconic Slovenian Champagne Method styles that are aged for 48 months on lees. However, there's a purist twist.  These are commercially released without disgorgement, meaning the bottles still contain the yeasty lees that originally fermented the wine. This is to encourage the continued development, protection, and maturation of autolytic yeast flavors found in the world's best Champagnes, but in your own cellar. If you'd like to see a video of this process, check it out \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X6KX3Ds895I\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.

Sadie Family \"Columella\" Swartland Syrah Blend","description":"South Africa has been known for a number of iconic wines throughout the years, but it wasn't until Eben Sadie that the country found its first cult winemaker. Sadie gained notoriety at the winery Spice Route in the 1990s. His work there brought him international attention and established his reputation as one of the country's up and coming winemakers. Sadie is a native South African, and his true passion is showing the world what South Africa's vineyards are capable of, so after leaving Spice Route he turned his focus to revitalizing the old vines of Swartland. He established his family winery after studying in Burgundy. Inspired by the great terroir specific wines of France, he produced the first vintage of his benchmark red wine \"Columella\" in 1999, with a focus on making a truly terroir driven wine reflecting the diverse soils of Swartland. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColumella has always been a Rhône inspired blend, composed mostly of Syrah with varying proportions of old vine Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Carignan Grenache, and Tinta Barroca. The amount of new oak and destemming also varies with the vintage, and tends to be judicious. The 2019 vintage is the 20th release of \"Columella.\"  The blend is composed of over 90% Syrah, and grapes are 50% destemmed with 10% new oak. This wine is meant to age and should be mentioned in the same conversations as the great red wines of the Rhône, Bordeaux, and Burgundy.  - KER","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43043620323561,"sku":"38986","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/Photoroom_20240605_193828.jpg?v=1717634346"},{"product_id":"2014-delamotte-blanc-de-blancs-champagne","title":"2014 Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43153346003177,"sku":"40250","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2014DelamotteBlancdeBlancsChampagne.png?v=1654546158"},{"product_id":"2018-david-buband-morey-st-denis-1er-cru-les-broc","title":"2018 David Duband Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Les Broc","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166224875753,"sku":"41116","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2018DavidDubandMorey-St-Denis1erCruLesBroc.png?v=1654541733"},{"product_id":"2018-david-duband-nuits-st-georges","title":"2018 David Duband Nuits Saint Georges","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166225072361,"sku":"41117","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2018DavidDubandNuits-St-Georges.png?v=1654545618"},{"product_id":"2020-chateau-desclans-les-clans-provence-rose","title":"2020 Chateau d'Esclans \"Les Clans\" Provence Rose","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43355422687465,"sku":"43396","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2020Chateaud_Esclans_LesClans_ProvenceRose.png?v=1657602672"},{"product_id":"2017-calera-jensen-mt-harlan-pinot-noir","title":"2017 Calera \"Jensen\" Mount Harlan Pinot Noir","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43381292663017,"sku":"43851","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2017Calera_Jensen_Mt.HarlanPinotNoir.png?v=1658265274"},{"product_id":"2019-robert-chevillon-vieille-vignes-nuits-st-georges-rouge","title":"2019 Domaine Domaine Robert Chevillon \"Vieilles Vignes\" Nuits Saint Georges Rouge","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43430934085865,"sku":"45295","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2019RobertChevillon_VieilleVignes_Nuits-St-GeorgesRouge.png?v=1659420253"},{"product_id":"nv-brundlmayer-blanc-de-noirs-extra-brut-sekt","title":"2015 Brundlmayer \"Langenlois Grosse Reserve\" Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Kamptal Sekt","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43479830069481,"sku":"46699","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/NVBrundlmayerBlancdeNoirsExtraBrutSekt.png?v=1659980906"},{"product_id":"2018-g-d-vajra-ravera-barolo","title":"2018 GD Vajra \"Ravera\" Barolo","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572003307753,"sku":"49006","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/products\/2018G.D.Vajra_Ravera_Barolo.png?v=1665078742"},{"product_id":"chartogne-taillet-cuvee-saint-anne-brut-champagne","title":"NV Chartogne Taillet \"Cuvee Sainte Anne\" Extra Brut Champagne","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43629668696297,"sku":"16565","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/NV_Chartogne-Taillet_Champagne_Sainte_Anne_Extra_Brut.jpeg?v=1775666886"},{"product_id":"2020-domain-weinbach-mvo-maceration-vogelgarten-alsace-white-blend","title":"2020 Domain Weinbach \"MVO Maceration Vogelgarten\" Alsace White Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Weinbach is an icon of Alsace, and they are leading the charge in experimenting with minimal intervention style wines and orange wines.

Bea is most known for his incredible and age worthy expressions of Sagrantino, and he has been an icon and champion for native Italian wines for years. For those unfamiliar, Sagrantino is Umbria's signature indigenous grape and by far their most prized. It's a burly, powerful variety known for roaring tannins and crunchy, ripe black fruits with notes of smokey cedar and tons of herbs and spices like anise and rosemary. If high tannins are your thing then Sagrantino is your perfect match. These wines are intense and fiery in their youth but also bursting with charm and powerful fruit that stands up to and even harmonizes with the muscular structure. Paolo Bea is an icon for a reason as he somehow manages to tame this wild beast of a grape and turn it into some of the most seductive and pleasurable wines of Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Paolo Bea's style is sometimes put in the natural wine camp, the family's winemaking experience dates back over 500 years, and the wines are just incredibly traditional and without any modern, flashy winemaking techniques. In essence, Paolo was making \"natural wine\" before natural wine was even a thing. Despite their low sulfur additions, zero new oak, and more rustic traditional winemaking, these powerful, tannic, behemoths crafted from the classic varieties of the Central Italian waistline are generously ripe and fleshy and often clock in around 14.5 to 15% ABV. These wines are often so big in youth they would make any Napa wine but Harlan Estate pink in the cheeks. As high-end Italian importer Neal Rosenthal puts it \"Bea’s wines remain singular—boisterous, unabashedly wild expressions of their undulating, sun-drenched hills of origin, each new vintage of which is eagerly anticipated by a legion of loyal clients.\" Their opulence and grippy tannic structure is balanced by a space opera of exotic spices, herbs and aromatics tantrically woven into a velvet fabric. These are a must try for vinous explorers and all those passionate about Italian wine. If you love rustic, traditionally made wines or native Italian grapes and have not discovered these yet, welcome to your next dream wines. - BRANDON KERNE, MASTER SOMMELIER \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePer Rosenthal Wine Merchant (Paolo Bea's US Importer):\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLapideus” Umbria Bianco: Giampiero acquired a parcel of 80-year-old Trebbiano Spoletino in the town of Pigge di Trevi several years back, and thus with this 2014 we have an exciting new addition to the Bea lineup. Arising from a cooler microclimate than the “Arboreus” above, “Lapideus” spent a lengthy 35 days on it skins after pressing, followed by 210 additional days on the gross lees—a similar vinification to “Arboreus,” yet one that yielded entirely different results. Though no less deeply amber in its appearance, “Lapideus” has a leaner, racier carriage than the broad-shouldered “Arboreus,” with more filigree, a less overwhelmingly intense nose of apricots, cloves, and candied ginger. If “Arboreus” is a sea to swim in, “Lapideus” is a rocket to ride, emphasizing drive and lift over layered density. It is still a wine of impressive power, especially given its modest 12% alcohol, but the fruit is more direct, pure, and foregrounded. So often the so-called “orange wines” seem to stand alone, iconoclastic creations that defy fine-tuned peer-group comparisons and revel in their singular personalities. Even the discourse that surrounds them tends to treat them more as wines of technique than wines of terroir. Thus, it is fascinating to experience the same grape variety given roughly the same treatment by the same grower, whereby the differences in the wines are largely driven by the differences in their underlying places of origin.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003e92 Points from Eric Guido of Vinous:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \"\u003c\/span\u003eThe 2019 Lapideus is honeyed with dried peaches and apricots, complemented by spiced blood orange.

Their first wine was a rosé made in the style of Domaine Tempier's iconic rosé as an homage to the proprietress, Lulu Peyraud.

French in spirit, with a kiss of New World fruit and weight, these wines remind us why Santa Barbara is one of the premier winemaking regions of the world.
