San Giuseppe Pinot Grigio

Hence, the wines are richer with more pronounced taste and bouquet. San Giuseppe superior qualities can matchup with a wide range of foods and individual preferences. From spicy Asian to a plain chicken salad, San Giuseppe quality shines through.
Domaine De La Cabotte
Cote Du Rhone
In France, it is said that winemakers are married to the land. That’s why there are so many wine estates with stewardship spanning multiple generations of a single family. Such is the story of Domaine de la Cabotte and Domaine d’Ardhuy — but with a twist.
During the 1947 Burgundy harvest, Gabriel D’Ardhuy met a beguiling young woman named Eliane, the daughter of a local grape grower. The two fell in love, married, and set out on a winegrowing adventure that would involve the two regions of France closest to their hearts: Burgundy and the Rhone Valley. That’s how the family came to cultivate two vineyard sites at a single estate. Today, two of D’Ardhuy’s daughters carry on the family winemaking tradition, joined by their own children.
The Cabotte Cotes du Rhone bottling marries Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault to create a cuvee that is fruitful and quite spicy. It is the vinous expression of a special place and a special family.
Secreto Patagonico
Cabernet Sauvignon
San Patricio del Chañar in Neuquén province is quite the production hub and home to various wineries, including Secreto Patagónico, which planted vines in 2000.
The area’s cold winters and sunny summers, and daily temperature range, mean grapes develop a thick skin – leading to more intense colours in wine. Perched on top of a hill, the secret to this winery’s success becomes clear after the first taste.
