The 2015 Clos I Terrasses ‘Laural’ from Priorat, Spain is a stunning blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. As the grape is often left on the vine to produce a late harvest wine, this particular wine has a rich apricot and peach notes, with nuances of caramel and citrus fruits, and it’s extremely vibrant in sweetness and acidity. The wine is made with petit manseng, a white wine grape variety grown primarily in South West France. Next, we moved on to France with the 2011 Diddier Dagueneau “les jardins de babylone”, produced in Juarancon, France. Prum “Graacher Dompropst” GG Riesling, Mosel, Germany I was impressed by its incredible balance and finesse. Prum “Graacher Dompropst” GG Riesling from Mosel, Germany, probably one of the best dry riesling ever for me, lusciously textured and intensely juicy on the palate with rich peach and citrus notes. The tour was off to a beautiful start with the 2009 S.A. Half of the in-house collection are Italian wines and the rest carefully selected around the world. Sommelier, Tommy Thompson offered us a warm welcome with the “ European Wine Tour“, featuring some of the best wines in restaurant’s two cellars.
