A single vineyard-designated wine refers to a wine made from grapes sourced exclusively from one specific vineyard or block within a vineyard. This designation emphasizes the unique characteristics and terroir of that particular vineyard, as the grapes reflect the soil, climate, and other environmental factors specific to that location. Winemakers often produce single vineyard-designated wines to showcase the distinctiveness and quality of grapes grown in a particular site, allowing wine enthusiasts to explore the nuances of terroir and appreciate the individuality of each vineyard's expression in the wine. Pricing for single vineyard designate wines may vary depending on factors such as vineyard prestige, grape quality, and production costs. #CalligraphyArt #2kfollowers #milestone #gratitude #CalligraphyWine #SpringAllocation #VintagePinotNoir #winefamily #growth #gratitude #communitylove #redwine #winetime #winelovers #winery #instawine #wine #winestagram #wineoclock #winecountry #russianrivervalley #sonomacounty #pinotnoir #foodandwine #sommelier #vino #didyouknow

Tasmania is one of Australia’s finest cool-climate wine-growing areas and more than 40% of its wine production is dedicated to Sparkling wines. . It is a small, isolated island at the south-eastern tip of Australia that has ideal conditions for growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and for making sparkling wines. . Until 1856, Tasmania, was known as the colony of Van Diemen’s Land and vines first arrived there on the HMS Bounty in 1788. William Bligh planted these vines at Bruny Island, but these early experimental plantings proved fruitless. . "The only officially recognised geographical indication (GI), or appellation, for Tasmania is Tasmania itself. However, informally it has seven distinct wine-growing areas, which you’ll find primarily in the northern, eastern and southern parts of the state, away from the often ferocious ocean winds that batter the west coast." ( extract :Wine Australia) . The 7 distinct growing areas are: Tamar Valley, Pipers River, East Coast, North West, Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley, and Huon Valley. . The most planted grape varieties are : . 1. Pinot Noir (43% of plantings) . 2. Chardonnay (28% of plantings) . 3. Sauvignon Blanc (11% of plantings) . 4. Pinot Gris (8% of plantings) . 5. Riesling (6% of plantings) . . #sommninja #winestudent #asisomms #courtofmastersommeliers #sommeliere #sommelierlife #sommelierlifestyle #sommeliers #wineeducation #advancedsommelier #tasmania

*** GUY'S WEDNESDAY WISDOM: DOMAINE FRANÇOIS RAVENEAU - Lessons in Singularity *** "The most respected and celebrated estate in Chablis, the wines of Domaine Raveneau are the undisputed benchmark for quality in this little corner of Burgundy. Their vineyard holdings are made up of largely grand cru and premier cru fruit, made in painfully finite quantities (just 3000 cases per year across the range). The quality and consistency from villages to grand cru however, is nothing short of incredible. The domaine was created in 1948, when François Raveneau consolidated his holdings with his wife’s family’s vineyard parcels. Though his father had spent years selling off prime parcels, François was doing his best to bring new ones back into the hands of the domaine. The reputation of this elusive and somewhat stoic vigneron spread quickly, as his style was easily recognizable as far superior to the growing trend of innocuous, somewhat uniform Chardonnay. Although François passed away in 2000, his two sons Bernard and Jean continue to work in a traditional way, letting the terroir of rich clay and chalky limestone do the talking. The winemaking remains artisanal and as natural-as-possible to this day, aged in small oak barrels (feuillettes) which lend a textural creaminess to the wines without overpowering them with new oak. This is a domaine I fell in love with some years back and have been following closely ever since, drinking more than my fair share over the years…. In their youth, there is an unmistakable steeliness and precision to these wines that no other winery in the region has come close to emulating. Then after 6-8 years, they really pull away even further from the pack. The wines develop richness, layers of flavour and incredible minerality. They have to be tasted to be believed!"

🍷 The Willamette Valley in Oregon is widely considered to be one of the best places in the world for growing Pinot Noir grapes. As a result, Pinot Noir from the region is often quite expensive. 🍷One reason for the high cost of Oregon Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley is the cost of land and labor in the region. The valley's fertile soil and ideal climate for grape growing make it a desirable location for wineries and vineyards, driving up the price of land. 🍷Many wineries in the Willamette Valley are small, family-owned operations that produce only a few thousand cases of wine each year. This small-scale production limits the availability of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and drives up the price. According to a 2019 report by Wine Enthusiast, the average price for a bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is $50+, much higher than the average price for Pinot Noir from other regions like California and New Zealand. . . 🔘 READ MORE --> https://lnkd.in/eYqQ8kUi #WillametteValley #WillametteValleyhistory #WillametteValleywinetours #winetour #sweetwine #oldwine #winetasting #WineHistoryTours #WineTourism
