What is Sauternes?


Sauternes white raisin wine from Chateau de Malle winery is obtained by a balanced and wise blend of Sémillion grape for 69%, Sauvignon grape for 28% and Muscadelle grape for the remaining 3%. Vineyards are located in the heart of Bordeaux region, precisely in the prestigious area of Sauternes, where these extraordinary raisin wines are produced, truly particular, as grapes are affected by the so called Muffa Nobile (Botritys Cinerea) which partially dries and dehydrates the bunch, while making them unique for aromas and flavors. In order to produce the wine, the production process is made with attention to details, since the harvest, during which the bunches are meticulously chosen, according to the degree of withering. It is a rule to go back to the vineyard at least 4 or 5 times in order to pick up the moldy (“muffata”) and dried grapes, in the best situation. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a long period of maturation which takes place in wooden barrels. The color at the end is deep gold, brilliant; the nose is very intense, elegant, persistent, very aromatic, especially with the passage of time because it is a very long-lived wine: in its early youth with fresh and citrus accents. Fine, elegant, full bodied, sweet and harmonic, well balanced and more mature as time goes by.

What is Tokaji?


As it often happens, there is a legend which tells about a priest, in 1650, in charge of producing an excellent wine for the Loràntfly estate. Because of an attack of Turkish troops he found himself without men capable of harvesting the grapes. By now autumn had begun and molds were beginning to attack grapes. Once the battle was over, with the return of the workforce, the priest decided not to throw the grapes with mold, but to harvest them even though they were in bad shape. The wine produced remained in casks to rest until Easter. When it was opened and tasted for the first time during the festivities the result left everyone astonished. The production of Tokaji is done in two phases. In the best vintages, dried Aszù grapes are harvested several times as they are attacked by noble rot. The other bunches which are not butchered are left on the plant to dry until the end of November. From the butchered grapes is obtained a sort of must which will be added to the base wine previously obtained. This addition causes a refermentation which will produce Aszù wine. Additions are done by keeping as a unit of measure a basket called puttony, which has a capacity of 25 kg. To the base wine can be added up to 6 puttonyos every 136 liters, which is the capacity of the cask in which the wine is put. Obviously the more grapes are added by puttonyos, the sweeter and more alcoholic the final wine will be. Aszù’s paste is left for some days in casks, where it yields to the must its delicious sugars and aromas. After that, these casks are stored in the cellars dug in the lava rock under the mountain, where the temperature is kept constant all year round, around 10 degrees. Here, another mold, Cladosporium cellare, enters the scene and covers walls and barrels with a dark patina. Through the wood of these casks, the mold transmits to the wine particular molecules which increase the variety of its aromas and oxidizes it as if it were a Spanish Sherry from Jerez. The wine obtained in this way is called Tokaji, which means of the city of Tokaj.

What are botrytized wines?


The term “botrytised” is not associated by chance to this type of sweet raisin wine: the grapes in the vineyard are attacked by Botrytis cinerea (that is why they are also called “botrytised”), a particular strain of grey mould also known as “noble mould”. Noble because its arrival in the vineyard, which takes place only in certain conditions of humidity and ventilation, makes possible a magic spell of great charm for the producer and, above all, for the taster: this fungus attacks the grape depriving it of water in favor of a higher concentration of sugars and aromas. At this point the work of the winemaker gets harder and harder and, by manually intervening in the rows, he must take care of the harvest not only by selecting the bunches affected by Botrytis, but also the single berries for the most valuable labels.

What is Agricole Rum?


The term “agricole rum” indicates a rum which, as opposed to industrial products obtained from molasses, is exclusively obtained by the fermentation of pure sugar cane juice, also known as “miel virgen”, which gives origin to a distillate generally drier, with a stronger and rougher taste also known as “wild”.

What is solera method?


The soleras method or criaderas y soleras is a system for the aging of rum, brandy and fortified wines. It consists in arranging oak casks in rows one upon another “in pyramid”, starting to fill only the highest casks. After one year a part of the contents is poured in the casks which are at the lower level, and the higher ones are filled with the new wine, rum or brandy, and the process is repeated every year. In this way the wine which is in the casks at the bottom (called solera), is ready for consumption, made of grapes of different vintages, and it is enriched with particular flavors.

What is The Whisky Peated?


It is a natural product made of organic material in decomposition which is created in cold and rich of water soils such as lakes and marshes, places particularly present in the Hebrides islands in Scotland, peat is the first stage of the formation of coal.


How is peated whisky produced?


In order to make whisky it is necessary to obtain germinated barley in order to obtain a must to be distilled and then aged. Once barley is germinated (after having been soaked in water for some days) it is dried in proper ovens in order to stop germination, and it is in this phase that peat is used because some distilleries use it to feed the ovens with which they dry the germinated cereal, the fumes of peat enrich malt with aromas that can be found even after many decades in whisky.


Characteristics and differences?


Peat enriches whisky with smoky aromas but leaves all the other aromas and flavors of whisky unaltered and moreover there are different degrees of peat, in fact not all whiskies are peat whiskies in the same way.
