My favourite vineyard...


 My favorite vineyard sits high above Areni Cave within the foothills of an unnamed mountain in Armenia.



The cave below opens up like a large vagina, having given birth to a wine culture more than 6,000 years ago.


Named Yeraz, the vineyard – still wild and uncontained – has snaked its way into nooks and crannies over centuries seeking a best place to live.


Through the course of capturing its own space, vines have split boulders in search of sun and sustenance.


Uniquely, Yeraz shares its DNA with the grape seeds found buried inside Areni’s ancient pots below.

Guerila Retro 2017, Vipava, Slovenia

Image
Slovenia is on the cusp of becoming ultra-trendy in the wine world and an emerging wine tourism hot spot. Wines there are already quite accomplished, interesting and, more often than not, over deliver on quality at relatively sharp prices.   Located where the Balkan region smashes up against the Alps. Over time the culture – ever straddling an important cross road – has knitted together bits and pieces of Slavic, Hungarian, Italian and Austrian influence into what is now a distinctively Slovenian national identity. So too with wine.   In terms of styles these are equally complex with bits of all the above influences playing out through a wide variety of warm and cold climates, all of which are crammed into a relatively compact space. Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Blaufrankisch are all rising stars, but under-known local varieties Zelen and Pinela are bound for glory .   Styles sometimes reminded me of lighter, crisper, more extroverted, lower alco...

A wine for the Gods - Borges Terrantez 1846

Image
  A glass of this wonderful Borges Terrantez 1846 was served at the very end of a fine Boxing Day dinner. It followed a stellar array of Champagnes, Burgundies and Port, each amazing in its own right.  Unfortunately, my attention span wasn’t anywhere near what it should have been to give this the long, contemplative due it deserved.  FORTUNATELY, I had tasted the same wine previously in 2018 when I did have my full wits about me so I have an earlier impression to supplement this less than ideal recent experience. Terrantez always makes me a little sad. Once considered Madeira’s greatest grapes it is nearly extinct there now. The 1852 Odium epidemic wiped out Terrantez because its thin skin was particularly susceptible to fungal rot. That, and low, erratic yields discouraged it from being replanted post-Phylloxera later in the century. Consequently, Terrantez was victimized, like many of history’s greatest grapes, as much by these diseases as the human choice not to repla...
