There's more room of the co-fermented Viognier to express itself, melding with the Syrah to express lavender chocolate, just torn Apricot and rich seductive flavors of ripe cherry and muddled raspberry. What is lavish gets balanced by appealing dustiness and the earthy punctuation of dried herbs and nutmeg from the stems.

The oxidative, fortified winemaking tradition of the northwestern Mediterranean is quickly becoming a lost art. The Roussillon, a large part of which is French Catalonia, was historically a very important production area for this style of wine. These wines were for seafaring men, as the wine doesn’t spoil under even the most extreme conditions. The tradition is alive and well at La Tour Vieille, in the ancient port town of Collioure near the Spanish border. Vincent Cantié produces this Banyuls, named after another nearby port, from ripe Grenache whose fermentation is arrested by distilled spirits; the resulting wine is sweet and fruity with about 16 percent alcohol. It is best consumed as a digestif, with chocolate desserts, or in the midst of a mighty gale many miles offshore.

Sweet indeed, but not without a healthy infusion of that higher-altitude freshness. It’s no wonder why the French drink it before dinner rather than just saving it for dessert.

A noble late harvest wine that floods the senses with floral and honeyed aromas such as quince, Turkish apricots and dried peaches. The palate shows great balance between its natural sweetness and the freshness that makes this Noble Semillon an indispensable wine for all who love late harvest wines.

Replaces the air that seeps into an open bottle with a balanced mixture of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon to keep wine fresh
Gas mixture differs from fresh air because of what it lacks, oxygen and impurities, otherwise, the mixture is very similar to the air we breathe and is perfectly food safe
Save your wine for Longer by putting the tip of the extension tube inside the neck of the bottle against the glass and spraying one long (1 second) and 4 short Bursts into 750 ml wine bottle
Use each time after pouring a glass of wine when planning to store the rest of the wine; included tube is used to ensure maximum protection
Recork Immediately after spraying wine Preserver and store upright to keep the protective layer of preserving gas on the surface of the wine

Eliminate your journeying-vino anxieties with this inflatable sleeve. Just drop in the bottle, blow, and go. The protective cushion of air will keep your wine - and its travel companions - safe until you reach your destination.
