Castelfeder Rieder Lagrein 2021

"Maraska Orahovac is the only liqueur on the market that is being prepared by green walnuts, in the same way, the Croatian households have been making for centuries. It is served pure, with ice, as an aperitif or digestive. Specific combinations of flavors reveal the combination of milk and coffee, with real refreshment offered in combination with cola." —producer

"This deep ruby-red wine displays aromas of red fruits and spices with undertones of licorice, earth, and leather." —winemaker

"Dark red hue in appearance. Concentrated, fragrant nose with top notes of cherry jam and cranberries, followed by hints of plum, dried fruit and cocoa. On the palate it is full, round, with velvety tannins, pleasantly tangy with a long finish, with notes of red berries and an alluring full flavor." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review- Only the ripest grapes that are picked in late October get chosen for this wine. Then the drying process begins (the Appassimento method) until the following January. The wine then gets put into Slovenion oak barrels and finishes the aging process. The result is a rich and lush wine that displays deep fruit flavors, hints of smoke and a deliciously, elongated finish. You can't do better for under $40. Cheers!

"Broglia Gavi La Meirana is a pale straw yellow with green highlights. This wine offers a fine and delicate nose with fruity notes of peach, melon and pink grapefruit, as well as hints of anise and flowers. On the palate, it is very balanced, with a long fruity finish." —winemaker
