Meinklang, Foam Vulcan - What a yum fizz. We loved it. So fresh, so easy and goes down so nicely. Notes of zippy green apples, cucumber, limes and pear. Amazing quaffability. Fantastic aperitif, great match with vibrant salads, or anything that has a bit of spice. The folks at Meinklang make it their business to let nature guide them in how best to cultivate their crops. As well as vines, they also grow various fruits trees, grains and vegetables. They also have their own cattle, horse and sheep, providing the crops with great compost and fertiliser. No use of nasty chemicals here, allowing the natural biodiversity to flourish and one the results of this way of life are the delicious wines they make.

Villa Torre, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore by Tenuta di Tavignano - What a brilliant wine. Delicate citrus and green fruit character. Lovely and mineral and ridiculously refreshing, it has a long and consistent almond finish typical of this vine. Ideal companion for appetizers, fish and shellfish dishes. The grapes are grown organically and come from the hilly and more sought after vine growing plots in Castelli di Jesi in Marche eastern Italy on an estate of 230 hectares of land of which 30 are dedicated to vineyards. |
