Wines, Beers & Spirits

ELEONORE is a name inspired from history, a woman with a strong character, a leader and independent, from the Middle Ages. She is a typical strong red wine from our Corbières Region. Grapes grow in shale soil that is located at altitude; Harvested from selected vines (Grenache Noir and Syrah); traditional destemmed vinification process and aged in oak barrels. All this gives her a purple colour; a nose on toasted notes of spices and violets. She is a round wine with rich tannin and with buttery notes. She boasts for a strong potential of conservation.

Arbejd is a 9 days old pure malt 47%. The scent, the ethereal, the ever-piercing aroma of peat and phenols. The fog of war, the fumes of old. Arbejd is our peated expression. Here smoke and peat take the centre stage. This spirit is based only on Sherry Oloroso barrels which adds a balancing sweetness to the bold spirit. The barrels are loaded into our reactor together with a raw, peated new-make spirit and left to transform for 9 days.

Waves of salt speckled smoke overwhelms your pallet, shining through is a promise of safe harbour, caramel, ripe apples and black tea lingers in the background. Arbejd offers an elegant smoky character with well-integrated sweetness leaving you longing for another sip.

Hailing from Portuguese barrels, this 7 days old pure malt 43% has decades of heritage in its composition. This spirit is made using Port Wine barrels in combination with Burgundy Brandy barrels. The wood from the different barrels is loaded into our reactor and are left to transform and age for 7 days. Using ultrasound, elevated temperatures and controlled oxygenation we are able to transform raw, white spirit into oaky drops of gold.

The result of the transformation is a deep, robust and complex drink, packed with notes of vanilla, dark red berries, dried fruits and warming winter spices. Call of Excise duty offers a complexity and long-lasting taste, perfect for a night by the fire.

This wine (85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina) is a young Nebbiolo with a rich bouquet and taste: a fruity nose with scents of raspberry and black pepper, while in mouth is softly tannic, equilibrated, harmonic, persistent and well structured. This wine ferments for 8/10 days and then is aged for 12 months in big oak barrels.

A  younger and fresh wine produced with 50% of Nebbiolo and 50% of Uva rara.  After the pressing and a 4/5 days fermenting process, the wine is poured in stainless steel containers and repoured in order to eliminate the dregs. The wine ages in steel for 6 months and afterwards it is immediately bottled after filtering.

Another part of the Friulano’s vines are located behind the manor house as for the Pinot Bianco (Blanc). Here the terroir is composed of colluvial deposits, red earth and other types coming from floods of other waterways such as Versa and Torre.

TASTING NOTES 
Friulano is a fine, delicate, elegant wine, rich in structure and balanced
Straw yellow in colour and green reflections, from the immediate scents of flowers to sweet almond up to a hint of sage. The taste recalls memories of flowers and peaches but an almost balsamic aftertaste is perceived. It is a mineral wine with an elegant acidity that makes it long and fresh.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The Friulano, the non-aged one, expresses that perfect acidity to accompany dishes such as sushi and tempura. It is an excellent wine as an Italian apéritif. The vegetable note of Friulano suggests an accompaniment to omelettes and soups made with spring herbs collected in the meadows. Also with the Hokkaido potato and scallop soup.

TASTING NOTES 
A 70-year-old vineyard that is pampered until the harvest of its fruits, which is done manually, gives life to Malvasia. Istrian Malvasia, the wine that perhaps best expresses our land. With a straw-yellow color and golden reflections, the nose immediately makes us understand the typical floral structure, you can perceive notes of orange blossom typical of the area from which this vine comes.
By drinking it you can savour notes of bitter almond, finely citrus, persistent, complex.
Tasting it we find ourselves walking in a stable meadow, or in one of those ancient meadows that renew the tradition of wild flowers and wild herbs of which Friuli still manages to guarantee its survival.

Pausing, however, we can distinguish a complexity of aromas that lead to the memory of violets, blackberries and a peppery tip.
When tasted, you can find it! Fresh, fruity, persistent, all details that make us understand how sincere it is, how much we have left this grape free to express itself.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
To combine with game or roasts, especially pork and let yourself be amazed.
