Maison Patricia Raquin is a negociant based in Savigny-les-Beaunes in the heart of Burgundy. Patricia and her husband, Alain, have been in the business for decades and they have developed some incredible relations with producers all over Burgundy. The selection process is quite similar to what we would do with our own brand Rubus. Most of the wines come from incredible vineyard sites and from growers are associated with outstanding quality. The dogs shown on the labels are Borzois, which means 'fast' in Russian. They are also called Russian Wolfhounds; a breed similar to greyhounds. Patricia and Alain are proud owners of 2 Borzois, who, as depicted on the label, guard their vaulted aging cellar inside their house.
All older vintage wines have been purchased from a single collectors cellar. Pictures can be requested before shipment.
Podrumi Krešić Graševina is made from 100% Graševina.
From the banks of the Danube in picturesque Šarengrad, Croatia, this wine reflects a story of love for the land and winemaking tradition. The Podrumi Krešić winery was founded by Dario Krešić, with the first vineyard planted in 2006. Today, six carefully selected vineyard sites between Šarengrad and Opatovac produce distinctive wines from the Slavonia region.
Graševina (also known as Welschriesling) is Croatia’s most widely planted grape variety. This fresh, aromatic white wine offers notes of green apple, citrus, and white flowers, with a crisp acidity and clean finish.
Pairs well with fresh seafood, light salads, and appetizers.
