]]> L’ARCO PRINCIPE DEL SOLE CHIANTI DOCG https://riverdalewines.com/p/larco-principe-del-sole-chianti-docg/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 18:21:39 +0000 https://riverdalewines.com/?post_type=product&p=677 TASTE:
A wine that expresses all the bold character of a Sangiovese cultivated on drained soils. Its rich yet clear ruby-red colour, with garnet nuances, conveys its body immediately, which is reinforced by its complex bouquet. On the nose, the predominant scents of fruit, such as black currant and blueberry, and of spicy notes of black pepper give way to tertiary toasted notes of coffee bean and tobacco. On the palate, the wine’s richness and depth stand out, perfectly harmonised by the elegance characteristic of a Sangiovese grown at these altitudes. The soft, round tannins are perfectly integrated. The finish is long and persistent, with tertiary notes returning once again.

]]> ORIGIN: ESTATE – GROWN – CHIANTI D.O.C.G

VARIETIES: 90% SANGIOVESE, 10% CANAIOLO

VINIFICATION AND AGING:
The Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes are carefully harvested by hand followed by a further selection process that takes place in the cellar. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins and gentle pressing, allowing for excellent polyphenolic extraction. The wine then ages in new French oak barrels for around 36 months.

Only after further ageing in the bottle Principe del sole chianti riserva is ready to be placed on the market.

]]> Touch of gold in colour. Toasty nose with a nice line of oak coming through in a delicate and layered way. There is lemon peel, a dusting of salt and green apple flesh. It’s central on the front end with a really complex mid palate that goes lateral. As it warms the palate rounds out and brings the complexity of the vinification on the mid to late to the fore.

The post ASTOBIZA PREMIUM DRY GIN appeared first on RiverdaleWines.

]]> In addition, the exclusivity of this Gin is marked by the expression of an innovative botanical added before the last distillation: “Aroma or Essence of Harvest”, a recent botanical that we capture from the fermenting must tanks during the harvest. Distilled at very cold temperatures, the carbon dioxide released by the must, around -60º C, results in a broth that concentrates the aromatic essence that we identify in the vintages.

Artisan distillation of grain alcohol in a vertical copper still, with juniper berries from the Ayala Valley and botanicals from the vineyard and surroundings. London Dry Gin style, without additions after distillation. Distilled by BASQUE MOONSHINERS, experts in premium spirits and their internationalization, they have facilities that combine craftsmanship and technology, giving rise to exclusive spirits, with character and of the highest quality.

Tasting Notes: It is a transparent gin, with a round attack, pleasant on the palate, elegant notes of juniper berries, with citrus and herbaceous touches that evoke the vineyards, with a long and fresh finish.

Located 250 meters above sea level, it is protected by mountains and far from the valley floor, which protects it from fog and winter frosts, which are so harmful.  The grapes are 100% native varieties, made with 90% Ondarrabi Zuri and 10% Ondarrabi Zuri Zerratie which is a grape native to the area.

]]> Astobiza Txakoli is clean and bright in appearance. Straw yellow in colour with green highlights. Intense varietal aromas on the nose, with notes of white fruit, (pear and apple) citrus, (grapefruit) and stone fruit, (peach). Fresh and lively on the palate, tasty, balanced, long with a persistent aromatic finish, with characteristic slight bitter varietal character and inflected with refreshing minerality.

Framed within the Protected Designation of Origin Txakoli de Álava, the singularity of the cultivated vineyard and the elaboration used achieve wines of pronounced personality and excellent quality. The wines of Astobiza are made exclusively with grapes produced in our own vineyards, with a development of the closed farm, that is, having a winery sized only to produce the vintage produced in the vineyard itself.

Serve cold, in a glass, at about 8-10 degrees, it is ideal to combine with sashimi, and sushi, perfect with simply grilled fish and cold seafood. For contrasting pairings, try with Gorgonzola and Cabrales type cheese for an interesting juxtaposition.
