Winemaking A great wine is not made in the cellar. According to our philosophy, wine is madein the vineyard, and not in the cellar. Neither is it the winegrower, not the oenologue, who creates the wine. Why schould they, when nature itself can do it, and a lot better, if you give it the opportunity to do so. Our task consists merely of the accompanying of the natural process of fermentation, in which we want to intervene as little as possible. Back to the vertical handpress. Very traditional to begin with is the pressing.
Traditional barrel fermentation. The fermentation again takes place, most traditional, in oak barrels. Then, why do we filter the wines ? To protect the wines, we use very small doses of SO2 (sulphur dioxyde) and this very late in the process. Le Closel - Chateau des Vaults - Les sens de la vie. Domaine Miolanne.

It was in 1972 that Louis Caracciolo , the current owner of Amalthea Cellars , then acquired the virgin field of vine. Four years later, in 1976 he cleared the property and planted with vines. As little Louis Caracciolo often assisted his grandfather in winemaking a garage wine for family consumption. It was at this time that his passion for wine was born.
Where does the name “ Amalthea Cellars ” come from? The vineyard was established in the same time that was discovered the satellite of the Jupiter planet, Amalthea . Meeting Casey Economides , the cellar master at Amalthea Cellars “ This is not just my job, it’s my lifestyle. What is your winemaking philosophy? “ Respecting tradition. What do you look for, each year, when you create Amalthea ’ wines? “ Balance is our signature. What characterizes the wines of this property? Some features: 2001 Gravner "Anfora" Ribolla Gialla, Friuli, Italy. Text Size: When it comes to winemaking there's New World, and there's Old World. There's new school, and of course, there's old school. And then there are a select few people and wines who make the old school winemakers look like young tykes with newfangled toys.
In a world where "traditional" or "natural" winemaking has now become a self imposed designation of the most extreme proponents of biodynamic and non-interventionalist winemaking, Josko Gravner puts them all to shame. These people proclaim how in touch they are with the "traditional" methods of winemaking, but they're still using what Gravner would call modern technology: wooden barrels. The iconoclastic Gravner eschews wines in wood, in favor of the original stuff: wines aged in huge clay amphorae sealed with beeswax and buried in the ground.
Gravner, a small winery near Oslavia in Northern Italy's Fruili Venezia Giulia region. If his way produces wine like this, then I'm more than content to sit back and let him work. How Much? Gravner with News. Biodynamic wine: an audience with Nicolas Joly. Part 5: an audience with Nicolas Joly What better way to try to catch the flavour of the underlying philosophy of biodynamics than to attend a Nicolas Joly seminar?
Joly, who owns Coulée de la Serrant in the Savennières region of France’s Loire Valley, is probably the leading proponent of biodynamic viticulture. He regularly conducts seminars for winegrowers, which are in high demand. Indeed, the roll-call of attendees at an average Joly seminar reads like a who’s who of old-world winegrowers. His seminars usually last for a few days, but we were treated to the abridged version – not enough to answer all our questions, but sufficient to provide an overview of his philosophy. ‘I was trained to be a banker, but I turned out to be a winegrower’, he says. Then fate intervened. Joly’s prime emphasis is on living forces, and the correct timing of viticultural interventions.
He continues, ‘Spring is good for us. ‘The vine is one of the few fruit trees strictly linked to the season. Back to top. Wine Travel. Great wine inevitably has a sense of place, and is a product of both the natural environment and human culture in which it is birthed. What better way is there to gain a deeper appreciation of a region's wine than to visit the vineyards that produced it? Fortunately, wine regions are often very accessible and open to tourists, and one of my favourite occupations is to combine a holiday with a visit to wine country. On the following pages you'll find my illustrated accounts of trips that I have enjoyed to various wine regions, together with tips on how to get the best from your own forays into wine country. Alsace (June 2012) One of France's most picture-perfect wine regions, specializing in aromatic white grape varieties.
This was my first visit, and I was hooked. Stellenbosch revisited (March 2012) South Africa's largest and most famous wine regiuon. I had overlooked it on recent visits, so it was time to go back. Back to top. The wines of Waterkloof, Stellenbosch, South Africa. Waterkloof Focus on Stellenbosch, South Africa's most famous wine region, part 1 The striking sculpture at the entrance to Waterkloof I first visited South Africa in 2003. It was a holiday, but I managed to sneak in some visits to wineries in Stellenbosch and Constantia. Two years later, I visited again, and this time wine was the sole focus of the trip. Stellenbosch and Paarl were the two regions I concentrated on. Looking across the Waterkloof property While Stellenbosch is the biggest and most visible of South Africa’s wine regions, it hasn't always been the most dynamic.
I began my trip at Waterkloof, who fall into the latter category. The view from the winery The location of Waterkloof is pretty impressive, with a dramatically modern winery perched on the top of a hill (the Schapenberg). Christiaan Loots I began my visit by being shown round the estate by Christiaan Loots, the farm manager. Soil from a vineyard managed biodynamically from the start The winery Worm farm From this, to... Wine Tasting, Vineyards, in France. Noëlla Morantin (Loire) Noella Morantin checking the filling of a wooden vat Pouillé, Touraine, LoireAnother load of Côt grapes were pushed by the belt elevator into the Grenier wooden vat as Noella Morantin was checking the filling and she brushed off the grapes from her head with a laugh.
This is Noella Morantin's first harvest from her own vineyards, I mean, she rents them from the nearby Clos Roche Blanche winery, but it is still her first vintage as a wholly independant estate making wine from its own vineyards. She worked for years for Les Bois Lucas (owned by Japanese Junko Arai), where she vinified natural wines from organic vineyards. Her new location is a handful of kilometers from there, on the same southern bank of the Cher river in the Loire Valley, and as she was looking for vineyards, she jumped at the opportunity that Didier Barrouillet and Catherine Roussel of Clos Roche Blanche wanted to downsize their surface by half. Noella Morantin dispatching the pickers Noella says here, and the two. Georges Laval (Champagne) Vincent Laval on his vineyard above Cumières Cumières (Champagne) Georges Laval is a deep-rooted family Champagne house, with documented vineyard-growing activity by the family as far as 1694. This is a small domaine with only 2,5 hectares, and it is organicly farmed since 1971 (it's even in byodynamy for a while), and given the record in this regard elsewhere in Champagne (and the difficult weather conditions), that is quite exceptional.
Before that time, the family was selling the grapes to the négoce. The village of Cumières (picture on the right) is only 5 kilometers west of Epernay (on the right wing of the pale-rose patch on this map -- Vallée de la Marne), and it sits right down the slope with the Abbaye d'Hauvillers at the top of the hill surrounded with woods. This abbey which was founded in 650 A.D. had been a pilgrimage destination and it got a now-famous host, Dom Pérignon, the Benedictine monk who played a central role in the way Champagne wines became sparkling wines.
Deep. Benoit Delorme (Burgundy) Benoit Delorme in his cellar/vatroom Rosey, Côte Chalonnaise (Burgundy)This bottle of Burgundy wine came on our table almost by accident : B.'s brother had met on a farmer's market somewhere in Burgundy one of his old-time acquaintances who had since become a vigneron. Benoit Delorme outside his cellar/winery We visited Benoit in his rented facility just outside of Rosey. the old building has been used to make wine for ages and sits near cow pastures, the nearest estate being Guy Chaumont, at only 200 meters from there and which is one of the oldest organic estate of Burgundy. The stone press He works now on 1,42 hectare of vineyards in a clos, that is a vineyard surrounded by a stone wall. The vatroom and cellar Now, this type of traditional press is a lot of work. Cellar scene Benoit Delorme makes a single cuvée, a red Côte Chalonnaise, that he sells in bottles and in bulk (bib or other containers).
Cellar tasting So sulphur is the only additive he uses, even if in very small amounts. Caro | Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) > Autres domaines > Bodegas Caro.

Vigne en lyre Je conduis mes vignes en biologique. Une partie de mes vignes a une particularité : ce sont des vignes en Lyre. La vigne en lyre consiste en un palissage en deux plans ouverts, les rangs de la vigne prenant, en coupe, l’aspect d’un “Y”. Cela conduit à une surface foliaire exposée plus importante, permettant le captage de l’énergie solaire et donc la croissance des raisins.
Dans les vignes en Lyre, les rangs plus espacés (3,20m) que dans les vignes traditionnelles laissent le passage à des tracteurs plus larges et donc plus stables, ce qui réduit considérablement le risque d’accidents en fortes pentes. Cette conduite de la vigne est née à l’INRA Bordeaux lors d’une étude réalisée par Alain Carbonneau. Dans la publication INRA Colmar de Christophe Schneider, Joseph Ancel, et Marc Heywang, intitulée “étude comparative de plusieurs systèmes de conduite sur deux cépages en Alsace”, on peut trouver dans la conclusion la citation suivante : Cephas Picture Library - Home.
