While appreciating the melted ruby, I am often captivated by the carefully crafted labels embracing the liquid's vessel. I made it a quest to look out for the most beautiful wine label out there and the journey goes on.
Moulin De La Grangère
95% Merlot & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe and floral. This wine is made from organic grapes. Château Moulin La Grangère is the younger sibling of Château La Grangère and sits at the foot of the finest slopes of Saint Emillion. The vineyard hold on to the philosophy of organic viticulture above all else. Situated on the right bank of Bordeaux, the region of Saint Emillion can boast of producing the most diverse range of styles, due to difference in soil types and production variations
Syrah Guffens au Sud
Syrah is a dark skinned wine grape, and one of the most diverse and successful variety all around the world's vineyard. Also known as Shiraz, or Hermitage.
Jean-Marie Guffens, started as a wine broker, is one of France's greatest winemaker. Verget is his own negociant company and work on the belief that 'the best wine is made from the best grapes'.
Volnay 1er Cru Robardelle
Goin on 6 generations working in the Domaine Réyane et Pascal Bouley, it is very much one of the classic house in the Volnay village. Volnay grows the most elegant red wines in Côte de Beaune, for its high active chalk content in the soil and relatively low clay content. Where earlier they used to make light drinking style, today many producers make wines that age well.
Château La Gorre
Château La Gorre is located in the village of Bégadan in the far northern sector of Médoc, only 3km inland from Gironde River. This property is planted with 55% of Merlot, 40% of Cabernet Savignon & 5% Petit Verdot.
Pierre Jean
Since their birth almost forty years ago, Vins de pays(‘country wines’) have become popular both in France and abroad and enjoy particular success in Britain. Intended to be ‘easy to understand and to drink’, these wines represent the second rung in the ladder of French wine classification, being superior to Vin de Table but below the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC).
Ph. Bouchard & Cie
With 22 varieties and a bunch of blending possibilities for a Côtes du Rhône – it is wild on what could wind up in the bottle. Don't stop trying even if you had encounter some that you don't like, there are many options.
The Appellation was modified in 1996 to consolidate the character of the Côtes du Rhône’s wines. For red and rosé wines, Grenache must constitute at least 40% of the grapes (except for wines in the northern area made using Syrah).
Luna Rosa
Coupling of the Portuguese artisanship and new world winemaking, this deep red gives a medium palate weight and textural chewy tannin.
The Azulejos inspired label itself is a work of art with serrated edges and the UV treatment raises the level of detail and makes it really look like the ceramic tiles it emulates.
Beringer Main & Vine
Sitting within the St Helena, Beringer Vineyard has been a fixture of Napa Valley for over 139 years, and the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. The historical estate provides a unique glimpse into the Valley's past.
19 Crimes
19 crimes turned criminals into colonists.Upon conviction, British rogues, guilty of at least one of the 19 Crimes, were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. This punishment by 'transportation' began in 1788, and many of the lawless died at sea. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to the shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.
Bottega Gold
Bottega Gold is a Prosecco Doc Brut sparkling wine, obtained by the vinification in white of the Glera grapes, grown in the Valdobbiadene hills. This area is close to the Venetian Prealps and characterized by a climate perfect for this native variety of grape. The vineyards are located on a hilly territory that not only has a landscape of great value but also a long wine-growing tradition. These grapes are hand picked and softly pressed in the winery. The golden bottle protects the wine by any source of light, preserving its aroma and freshness thus giving the wine a longer life.
La Croix Bonis
Saint-Estèphe is an AOC for red wine in the northern end of Bordeaux's Haut-Médoc. Intimately linked to Château Phélan Ségur, La Croix Bonis comes from selected parcels at the property. Made principally from Merlot, the wines are aged for 12 months. A fine expression of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, La Croix Bonis is a fleshy, supple wine, very fruity with well-integrated tannins. It can be enjoyed after 3 to 8 years.
Badie La Foret
A red blend from Bordeaux, the largest wine producing region in France. It consists of two major areas—the Left and the Right Bank. Both lie in the heart of the Gironde estuary and are further divided by its tributaries, the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers.
