Cantina Bolzano, founded in 2001 through the merger of two historic cooperatives (Santa Magdalena, 1930, and Cantina Gries, 1908), is located in Bolzano, surrounded by vineyards at 200-1000 meters above sea level. The valley’s diurnal temperatures protect the vines, creating ideal conditions for winemaking. Bolzano’s 300 members, owning small plots (about 1 hectare each), farm some of the region’s best vineyards. Many practice organic viticulture and adhere to natural practices in their vineyards – these families, who have farmed for generations, respect and preserve the land.

 

 

 

 

 

3 bottles x Pearce Predhomme Chenin Blanc 2023 (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
White | Chenin Blanc
The most widely planted varietal in South Africa simply shines in this charming expression from Stellenbosch. Sourced from old vines and naturally fermented, expect elegant notes of white peach, lemon and tangerine with an underlying layer of crisp yellow apple. Bright and fresh on the palate, but with good depth and concentration, this wine is ready to drink now but will also cellar nicely for the next 2-3 years.

Pairing suggestion: Pairs perfectly with all kinds of fresh seafood; and also with tartare. Smoked salmon or trout would also be delicious next to a glass of this old vines Chenin. Its rich texture makes it suitable to be paired with goat cheese, roast chicken and butternut squash.

3 bottles x Pardevalles Rosado Prieto Picudo (Tierra de León, Spain)
Rose | Prieto Picudo
This 100% Prieto Picudo rosé is intense and fresh on the nose.  Rich and hypnotizing aromas of raspberry, strawberry, herbs, citrus and red rose petals jump out of the glass.  These flavours follow through on the palate, which is both powerful and flavourful, while maintaining great freshness.

Pairing suggestion: A charcuterie board, a Thanksgiving bird, and some lovely cranberry sauce would be perfect here, as well as enjoying as an aperitif.
