a long mineral close

dark Devon slate veined with quartz

and for decades it sold its wine only to Spain's elite social clubs and top restaurants

The result is silky and gently fruity

this 2023 Pinot Noir by William Downie is a nuanced and expressive wine that showcases the character of the region’s cool climate

Barbichette, Pompette Rose Seneca Lake, 2025 tbo a long mineral closeBarbichette is a small natural wine project on Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, run by Louisiane Remy and Cesar Vega, who farm organically and work hands off: no added sulfites, no commercial yeast, no filtration. Pompette is a direct press rose of Pinot Noir, all bright and breezy, with grapefruit, bitter orange, and a savory snap of strawberry leaf. It's a New York summer in a glass: pale, dry, and refreshing. Get it cold and drink it on a porch.
