Stacks Image 97089
THE WINE
Petit in name but big in flavour. Aromas of heady plum and soft vanilla set the tone. Black cherry and blackberry flavours lead the way, while undertones of warm blueberry and plum build with each sip. Lush and velvety with a long finish of dark fruit and spice.
THE REGION
Sitting in the middle of California’s Central Valley, Lodi sees warm days and cool nights and benefits from the breezes blowing inland from the Bay area. This climate helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity, while the rich, sandy soils and dry growing season promote more concentrated flavours.

Enter the name for this tabbed section: BESITO - SPAIN
MARCH 2025 ~ BESITO - MANCHUELA, SPAIN
Stacks Image 97527
THE WINE
Besito, Spanish for “little kiss”, is a vibrant blend of Macabeo and Moscatel (Muscat) with a little kiss of sweetness. Enticing citrus and white blossom aromas introduce a peachy palate woven with tropical fruit and citrus flavours. Subtle notes of honeysuckle and lemon zest round out this smooth and succulent wine.
THE REGION
Manchuela is an inland region with a continental climate, but vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity.

Smooth tannins carry into a lingering finish.
THE REGION
Riverland is renowned as a powerhouse of Australian wine. It is home to many varietals, but Cabernet, Shiraz, and Merlot are the region’s most prominent reds; they thrive in the endless sunshine and low humidity, producing lush wines with rich texture and ample berry flavours.
