Bonarda is a term that is used for a variety of grapes that are used to make tasteful and delectable red wines. Bonarda is a red wine from the Piedmont region of Italy. This beautiful wine includes four distinct varieties of grapes from Italy and one variety from Argentina.There are several grape varieties that can be listed by the name, but the distinct and true variety, Bonarda Piemontese, is the most rare and least cultivated variety today. The variety Bonarda Novarese, is planted in the hills of the Piedmont region and in Oltrepò Pavese. The Charbono variety used in Bonarda wine is grown in Argentina and originates in the region of Savoie. This fantastic variety is known as the “Sweet Black” grape in Italy. The last variety, Croatina, is also known by the term, Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese. Bonarda is an ancient wine that has a dark red color that resembles rubies, and also includes dazzling shades of purple. Most Bonarda grapes are now planted in Argentina instead of Italy and they pair beautifully with meats. Bonarda wine is typically dry, has medium tannins, nice earthy tones, and deep flavors of cherry and plum.This wine is the perfect companion with a quesadilla or veal chop.

A heavenly, full-bodied dry Riesling with forceful minerality from 100-year-old vines grown in the blue slate soil of Graach.
Graach is a small village in the Mosel valley. It’s steep slate slopes produce wines that combine elegance with rustic strength. Grosses Gewächs (GG) is the designation for an estate’s best dry wine from a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard. This limited-production wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and kept in the barrel, on the full lees, for a year before bottling. The extended maturation time allows the wine to develop greater texture and a deeper natural harmony. This is a fully ripe wine, with vibrant aromatics and a pronounced acidity that gives it a brilliant structural precision.
Review:
Convincing proof that 2020 is an excellent vintage for dry GG on the Mosel! Cool and stony with delicate white-peach and white-currant aromas. Really takes off at the intensely slatey and racy finish.

Mordoree Tavel Rose Reine des Bois is made from 60% Grenache, 15% Clairette, 10% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 5% Bourboulenc (biodynamically farmed on a rocky/sandy plateau over clay).
This wine comes from a parcel planted on a pebbled soil covered with stones, whose geology is typical of the grands crus from the Rhone Valley (a base made of marine molasse from the Miocene period covered with an alpine diluvium from the Villafranchian period). 100 % destemming, cold maceration during 48 h., pneumatic pressing, fermentation at 18° C.
To pair with: roasted and or spicy chicken, duck, goose, fish soup, white meat, seafood and a lot of fishes (tuna, John Dorry, red mulet, etc...).Quite all Asian cuisine. Dishes with garlic, dishes with tomatoes.
In the glass the wine is deeply colored pink, almost orange/salmon. Complex aromas of white flowers, raspberry, pomegranate, strawberry, minerals, and citrus rise from the glass. Palate is full-bodied and voluptuous yet retains elegance while delivering great fruit intensity balanced by minerals and citrus. Light tannins appear mid-palate and carry through to the finish, giving it serious structure. Fresh, complex, and very long on the finish. Overall, powerful, textured, and food-driven — a “serious” Tavel that can age 1–5 years. Best enjoyed from June/July 2026 onward.
