Malmsey
Filter
Malmsey is the term for a Madeira wine created from the Malvasia grape variety. The term Malvazia includes a cluster of grape types that are grown in the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Madeira Islands, and Balearic islands. The terms of wines created with the Malvazia variety are often referred to with a variety of names including Malvasia, Malvazia, and Malmsey. The grape types are used to create white and sometimes red wines, although the red wines are produced very sparingly. The Malvasia term is said to have come from Monemvasia, which is a Venetian fortress that is known in Italian under the term Malvasia. The fortress would have been a center for traders and Venetian traders were so apt at trading the wine that wine shops in the region were called malvasie. Another suggestion said the wine was named after a district called Malevizi. The red grapes of the variety produce light pink to red color wines. Malvasia wines are typically heavy bodied while young and other wines created from the type, such as fortified wines, contain nutty flavors. Malmsey refers to a sweeter version of the Madeira wine and confused many when the term started to refer to any sweet wine from the region, regardless of variety type.

The Prisoner Wine Company Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
From the most recognized Napa Valley red blend comes a bold, new wine. Made in the same iconic style as The Prisoner Red Blend, we proudly introduce The Prisoner Pinot Noir. Redefining taste once again.
A mix of Russian River and Carneros AVAs produces this classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with notes of ripe cranberry, pomegranate, and cherry with clove spice. The palate is driven by rhubarb and cherry with an underlying minerality and spice, which culminates with soft tannins and an elegant, balanced acidity.
Chef Brett recommends pairing The Prisoner Pinot Noir with Mushroom Risotto or Grilled Salmon.
Despite its relative youth, Zweigelt is actually an Austrian classic. This variety was created in 1922, when Dr. Fritz Zweigelt crossed two grapes - St Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Originally, it was intended for the new variety to be called Rotburger, referring to the place where it was born, Klosterneuburg. But this name never took hold, and instead, Zweigelt was named after the man who was the key in its development.
Today, Zweigelt is the most widely planted red variety in Austria, growing in nearly 9% of this country's vineyards. It is a robust grape, highly resistant to dryness, frost and various diseases.
The wine boasts a pale rosé color, it has plenty of fruity aromas, with red cherry and wild strawberry flavors. It is medium-bodied, but it still have a nice long and pleasant finish with a light cinnamon type of spice to it.
Only the best grapes are harvested with a lot of experience and know-how and further processed. The grapes are fermented directly gently pressed and cooled. The fermentation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks.
Perfectly at home on any picnic, delicious with fried chicken, and tames the heat when paired with spicy dishes. There is also a slight watermelon note that makes it perfect for spring and summer. A great pairing with barbecued shrimp.
