Wine from Normandy
Filter
Because of the ocean climate, Normandy is not known for wine, but there have been vineyards in the past that have produced inexpensive boxed wine. There is only one small winery in Upper Normandy, which is locally renowned for producing excellent wine that goes well with the famous meals in the area. Arpents du Soleil is the name of the local winery. The climate in the northern part of Normandy is a sunny and dry microclimate. In 2007, this vineyard produced 15,000 bottles of wine. Produced in Normandy, Pommeau de Normandie is a drink made with pears and apples, two of Normandy’s specialites. Pommeau is produced by mixing apple eau-de-vie with slightly fermented apple must. This raises the alcohol level high enough so that the yeast will survive. Without yeasts, the fermentation process will stop. After fermentation, the producers are left with an apple scented juice that is quite sweet. The final alcohol content is between 16 and 18%. The process is known as mutage and is essentially the same technique that is used for making vins doux naturels. Pommeau is a mistelle. This is a French term that means partially fermented fruit fortified with alcohol.

Rubus Special Edition Barossa Shiraz is made from 100 percent
The Rubus Project was created by Fran Kysela as a way to source & sell incredible wines at value prices. All wines in this international project are hand-selected by Fran Kysela. Rubus wines are fruit driven, true-to-type values that over deliver - a true representation of quality for the consumer at an excellent price.
Deep red with a slight purple hue on release. The wine has a rich mix of dark chocolate infused with coffee bean and black liquorice, then scents of tar, aniseed, raw (pure) soy and black olive on the nose. The palate is expansive, and yet balanced and finessed. An amalgam of dark berried flavors and textural sensations. The 100% new oak is completely absorbed, meshed with ripe tannins, completing a palate of impressive length and youthfulness.
Sourced from Thorn-Clarke’s St Kitts vineyard (Block 7) in the far north of the Barossa, the Rubus Reserve demonstrates both the strengths of the region and the unique characters of the vineyard.
A thin layer of topsoil over weathered marble, schist and shale mean the vines work hard to source water and nutrients. The result is naturally low yields concentrating the power and density of the fruit. Diurnal temperature variation is another important aspect of St. Kitts. Warm daytime temperatures are followed by cool nights with variations of up to 30°C (55°F) from the peak during the day into the cool night minimums.
Review:
“Earthy detail develops in this sleek and juicy shiraz, a tarry streak under fresh plum and bruised strawberry. The tannins have gravity and precision, their bracing intensity and concentration integrated into what panelist David Hawkins described as “a big, powerful wine with great liveliness.” While suited to aging, this is accessible now if you’re grilling meats to serve with it.”

"Made by Thorn-Clarke for the US market, this has a rich and vivid nose with blueberry, violet, dark plum and subtle oak spice in play. The palate has a succulent feel with plenty of rich, open-knit blackberry and blueberry flavor. Smoothly delivered tannins carry long and even. Drink over the next decade."
