Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Far Mountain Bresa Chardonnay 2022
Sonoma Valley
December 23, 2025 - Far Mountain Bresa Chardonnay is a white of substance, grown from the oldest block of Bald Mountain Vineyard, planted in 1972 with Wente clones on fractured volcanic rock. This single-parcel, dry-farmed site yields just one barrel, producing a wine of depth, tension, and dazzling clarity.

Attems Cicinis 2022
Collio DOC
December 11, 2025 - Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc is a single-vineyard expression from the foot of Monte Calvario, showcasing the ancient Ponca soils of Collio Goriziano.
