CANTINA FURLANI, JOANNIZZA VINO SPUMANTE JOANNITA
$31.50Organic, Biodynamic, No sulfites added
Grapes: Joannita
Organic
Pale yellow-green in colour, with aromas of lemon, ginger, wildflowers, hay and Brothers Johnson funk. A fusion of lemon curd, pear, herbs, orange blossom, chalky minerality and a trace of graham cracker wrapped in tight fizz and fresh acidity. Lemon zest, ginger and eucalyptus compliment the bitter, crisp finish.Joannita is a very rare grape variety that was bred in 1968 by Johannes Zimmerman at the wine-growing institute in Freiburg, Germany. It is a cross between Riesling, Seyve-Villard, Rulander, and Gutedel that has proven to be fungus and disease resistant in cold, wet climates such as the high Alps.
Matteo Furlani is the 4th generation of his family to farm the tiny plots of vines, 700+ meters in altitude, in the Dolomites of Trentino, northeastern Italy. The estate was always farmed organically, without any chemicals. Matteo has taken this natural approach further, adopting biodynamic methods.

LA GARAGISTA, The Flesh & The Bone’ Sparkling Cider
$44.99The Flesh and Bone is a lees-aged flaxen sparkling cider grown from our vineyard in a green and gold valley of rolling hills that faces the setting sun.
It is an ancestral methode second fermentation in bottle seeded with cider made from many different and wild cultivated varieties of garnet-kissed apples grown in our home farm orchard, an homage to an old-fashioned style of cider fermented on wineskins called vin ëd pom.
This sparkling cider is a true marriage between the diversity of fruit, our geology, geography, weather, history and social culture, and the hand of the vignerons(ne), our unique terroir.
Hand-harvested and unfiltered, fermented on glimmering skins, this blonde-colored wine bubbles like a thousand starts seen in the evening gloaming.

Baked apple, rich dairy scent – like strong Parmesan – and light autolysis. Modern, polished and crunchy, with a very savoury finish. Almost austere, and I might prefer a bit more ripeness or flesh. You can’t fault the stylishness, however. (RH) Purple Page -
