Spain: CELLER DE CAPÇANES 2012 FLOR DEL FLOR PRIMAVERA nery Notes: "We work exclusively in limestone, which is very mineral-poor soil. This keeps the yield low, but the fruit incredibly concentrated. That's our secret, old vineyards and new ways of winemaking." —Jürgen Wagner, Exporter/Winemaker Tasting Notes: Dark, fully-saturated red, but bluish-black when young. Black cherry with loads of dark berries and vibrant, bright aromas of cherry, plums and currant. Fine toasted and coffee flavors. New Zealand: GOOSE BAY 2011 RESERVE SAUVIGNON BLANC nery Notes: Goose Bay's expression of the grape exemplifies how the coun- try's unique soil composition and climate distinguish it from others produced in North America and Europe. Tasting Notes: One of the first kosher Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand to arrive in America, this creamy white wine has notes of gooseberry, sage and magnolia blossoms. The mevushal and kosher for Passover wine is medium-bodied and makes an ideal companion to salmon or chicken.
