Box: March 2023
Love, Wine, Rock and Roll
We get to “Get you Motor Running” this March. We are all about Rock and Roll this month all wrapped up in a blanket of love.
When you run into to the winery WNR (Wine and Roses), it is something you can’t ignore. And once they have your attention, the list of hardware (awards) they have is the deal maker. Read their stories on the Aperittivo where you learn how the devil burnt the studio down while recording Sympathy for the Devil (indeed a Sauvignon) to how Nasa was Born to be Wild while rolling across Mars (in a less obvious Bobal).
When it come to love, this theme is taken by the Spanish adventurer El Goru. From the hills to the sea, he is our guide to the tastes of Spain. We put special attention to the role of elevation this time round, so if you (while drinking) start to feel dizzy or high – then you know your in the right place 😊
We are a long way from the Final Countdown – IWCoK forever !

And organic blend of Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc with a list of medals as long as an evenings with your in-laws. A wolf in sheep's clothing, straw colour but intense in taste.

A true Central European blend of Muller Muller Thurgau and Veltliner. Look for hints of nutmeg, gooseberries and crisp citrus tones. A wine meant to drink freely with friends and preferably outside - be social and get those neighbours over to yours !

This "Mountain wine "grown at 650 meters above the sea benefits from a huge range in temperature between the baking say and chilly nights. It is the secret weapon for this premium gold medal winning chardonnay.

A Prague wine Silver medal winner, this blend of muscatel and chardonnay has a interesting blend of citrus and floral tones. Flowers on the nose and citrus fruits on the finish. A perfect wine for fried mackerel.

Cherry red, black fruits and all at over 700m of elevation then left to chill out for 9 months in French oak barrels. A red of a less familiar grape that will "Get your motor running".

Purple and spicey, toasty and deep. And unlike Jim who sang this song for the last time in New Orleans for the last time in 1971, this one will keep you singing time and time again.

Licorice, cocoa, blackberry and toast (it is nearly a breakfast wine). A full bodies wine with power, just like the rock anthem of its name. An unstoppable force that that will make its way with anything you put on the table.
