Petit Manseng is a thick-skinned grape variety grown in France that creates a high quality white wine. This variety is known as “Small Manseng” or “Little Manseng” because of its tiny berries. Typically, the variety grows well in hot and sunny climates with cool evenings, and ripens late in the year. Petit Manseng is quite resistant to disease, and can grow very well in different regions and environments. The grape is typically harvested late in the year, which gives it a sweet flavor and can be used to great dessert wine. This variety can create natural high sugar levels, and is deliberately harvested late to ensure sweetness. Petit Manseng is usually referred to as “Manseng,” even though actual Manseng is a dark, black grape. This grape variety produces wine with high acid levels, low tannins, and creates a golden colored result. Petit Manseng grapes produce wines with nice apricot, fruit, and floral aromas and spicy notes. If the grapes are harvested later in the year, the wine will have higher alcohol content and stronger flavors. This wine pairs well with strong cheeses, foie gras, or it can be enjoyed by itself as a dessert wine. This little fruit produces powerful results.
A refreshing and crisp, dry white with notes of grapefruit and hints of candied pineapple on the nose. Pearmund Cellars is the largest producer of this standout varietal in the Americas.

Arzuaga Ladera del Norte Ribera del Duero is made from 100% Tempranillo.
The grapes come from organic crops and are harvested from the "Valdesardon" farm, owned by the Arzuaga Navarro family, which is the westernmost vineyard of the Ribera del Duero DO, located at an altitude of 800 meters in the village of Olivares de Duero. Clay-limestone soil on a hillside that will mark the characteristics of the wine.
The wine is of medium high intensity in color, a clear and bright cherry with purple flashes. An array of red fruits such as raspberry and cherry predominates with a high aromatic intensity, combining with balsamic tones, coffee and roasted notes coming from the aging in oak barrels without being overwhelming. This is a fresh and elegant wine, with an easy and balanced entry into the mouth followed by juicy and chewy sensations. Slightly sweet and toasted notes, and a pleasant and balanced aftertaste that is reminiscent of the fruity aromas on the nose.
Ideal companion for red meat, white meat, game and game, roasted or in sauce. Blue fish and soft cheeses.
Review:
"Intense cherry color. Aromas of dried herbs, creamy oak, black fruits and lactic notes. In the mouth, ripe fruits, spices, fine tannins, full-bodied."

Crisp lime flavors, white pepper and lentils, followed by a mouthful of mineral notes and gooseberry. A long lingering finish
