Tedeschi Capitel Tenda Soave Classico

This wine is made with grapes harvested in vineyards, located in oldest area of origin – the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone – that with Soave, makes up the classic Soave area. The distinctive winemaking technology employed yields an elegant and velvety wine with a delicate almond-scented nose.

Color: yellow with green reflections. Clear and transparent.
Bouquet: strongly and complex fruity bouquet. Very clean and with notes of dry fruits such as almonds. Rich and elegant.
Flavor: good body and good acidity. Relatively warm, rounded and well balanced. Pleasing and elegant. The after-taste confirms the notes in the bouquet.
Suited for ageing: 3/4 years

Tedeschi has also chosen a symbol that recalls the most important and persistent aromas and perfumes when tasting their Soave wine. As such, the Capitel Tenda Soave Classico Doc label depicts the almond given that this wine typically presents with a scent of nuts that can leave a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Seifried Aotea Sauvignon Blanc

THE VINEYARD

Our Brightwater Vineyard lies about 15km from the sea (10km from the winery) and is nestled under the Richmond Ranges on the southern end of the Waimea Plains. The temperature at this site fluctuates more than any of our other vineyards due to its distance from the coastline. The Vineyard is exceptionally stony with free draining soils, which is very hard on the farm equipment. The large stones however are vital for holding the warmth of the Nelson sun and for ripening the grapes.  Lively fruit characters are evident in fruit harvested from this block.

WINEMAKERS NOTE

Aromatic and fresh Sauvignon Blanc flavours were encouraged prior to vintage through careful canopy management. The fruit was de-stemmed and pressed immediately after harvest and a cool fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks to retain the clean, fresh aromatic fruit characters.
Aotea represents a selection of wines which the Seifried winemaking team consider to be the very best of the best. The fruit is harvested from single vineyard Estate grown vines. The wines offer texture while maintaining the varietal character of the grape – wines with depth and finesse.

TASTING NOTE

The 2020 Aotea by the Seifried Family Sauvignon Blanc is pure and varietal. White flesh nectarine, dried hops and passionfruit flavours come through on the nose. The palate is generous with appealing mineral notes and lingering flavours on the palate. 

“Crisp, vibrant sauvignon blanc with Rose’s lime juice, passionfruit and gooseberry flavours. Impressive purity and power, with an ethereal texture and lingering finish.”

Araldica Barolo Flori

A complex nose combining plum, mulberry, ripe strawberry and brown spice with delicate floral and violet notes. Tannins are firm and pleasingly supported with plump fruit and a rounded texture, giving a good lengthy finish.

Made from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated around the town of Barolo in southern Piemonte. These are trained on a low Guyot trellis at a density 4-5,000 vines/ha. The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and then crushed to small fermenters, for around 12 days, with daily pumping-over. This ensures good colour and flavour extraction, but avoids over extraction of the abundant Nebbiolo tannins. The wine was drained off at dryness, and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing the wine was settled for two days, and then racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. After three years maturation in 50hl Slavonian oak casks it was racked and bottled.

Araldica is Piemonte’s most forward-thinking co-operative, situated in Castel Boglione, in the heart of Barbera d’Asti territory. Here they work with 230 grower members to source quality grapes from around 690ha of vineyards. Many of their members joined the co-operative in the 1950s and have a long and loyal relationhip with the winery. They produce wines from Piemonte’s main DOC / DOCG regions – predominantly Barbera, Gavi and Moscato, but also including Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero Arneis.

Araldica’s 140 associates, farming 900 hectares of vineyards, have obtained the SQNPI trademark – Sistema di Qualità Nazionale di Produzione Integrata (National Quality System of Integrated Crop Management). Wines and vintages that are now fully compatible with this system have a bee symbol on the label, which guarantees that each phase of production has complied with the strict parameters of integrated crop management. In other words, it is sustainable and eco-compatible, certified by an independent third party. Araldica is also developing a programme of organic viticulture.

Founded in 1954 by Livio Manera, father of the current Managing Director and winemaker Claudio Manera, Araldica has developed over the past 60+ years to become a major winemaking force in Piemonte, supplying wines across the globe.

Apart from economic viability and social equity, for us, sustainability is about biodiversity in our vineyards, says Winemaker Louisa Rose. To encourage it, we’ve done a number of things: we’ve reduced the amount of chemicals we use, incorporated an integrated pest management system, and encouraged biodiversity of vegetation in our vineyards”. All in the name of better winemaking
