To investigate
Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.

Caviste
Saint Laurent Carafa is a dry, light red made from the Saint Laurent grape (Svatovavřinecké) from the Stará vinice vineyard in Těšetice, in the Znojmo sub-region of Moravia. The vines are farmed organically and the wine is made in a very natural way, with minimal intervention. Whole bunches are left to slowly ferment for about 10 days in wooden vats (a gentle semi-carbonic maceration), which brings out juicy fruit and soft tannins rather than heavy extraction. After pressing, the wine matures in a mix of French oak barrels and Moravian clay amphorae, adding subtle spice, roundness and a touch of earthiness. It is bottled without fining, filtration or added sulfur, so you get a very pure taste of grape and place. Saint Laurent Carafa shows best after a bit of air, so decanting is recommended. A great choice if you enjoy fresh, characterful natural reds.
