- Domaine Nicolas Mariotti Bindi | Corsica | Mosaique Wines
Nicolas Mariotti Bindi farmed organicaly fifteen hectares across several vineyards in Patrimonio, idyllically nestled between the Mediterranean sea and the Corsican mountains.The vineyards produce Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) and Vermentinu (aka Vermentino), making wines for his premium Nicolas Mariotti Bindi Vin de France wines, along with the excellent entry level Cantina Di Torra AOP Patrimonio wines. DOMAINE nicolas Mariotti bindi Corsica Organic certified It’s all very well to leave Corsica for the bright lights of big city Paris, but once Corsica is in your veins, it’s only a matter of time before it calls you home. Such is the case for Nicolas Mariotti Bindi, who, while studying law decided that a life among the vines, and not the courtroom, was his true calling. Nicolas slowly made his way back to Corsica via a winding wine route, including Beaujolais. Once back on home soil, he sharpened his winemaking skills with local legends Antoine Arena, Domaine Leccia and Domaine Giudicelli. In 2007, he was fortunate to farm his first 5ha patch of vines thanks to the generosity of another local producer. Today, that patch has grown to fifteen hectares across several vineyards in Patrimonio, idyllically nestled between the Mediterranean sea and the Corsican mountains. The vineyards produce Niellucciu (aka Sangiovese) and Vermentinu (aka Vermentino), making wines for his premium Nicolas Mariotti Bindi Vin de France wines, along with the excellent entry level Cantina Di Torra AOP Patrimonio wines. Against normal convention, the Vin de France wines from this producer are more premium, with the classification due to high density vineyards, planted at 7,600 vines per hectare, which is outside AOP laws but provides more freedom in the vineyard. The climate in this region is quite unique, making for frosty mornings, early winters and humidity in the valley, all impacting the vineyards in different ways as they vary from 50 - 200m above sea level. This diversity in climate also extends to the vineyard terroir. The founding Porcellese massal vineyard planted in 1966 consists of old, low yielding (25lh/ha) Niellucciu bushvines, and sits on old alluvial and pebbles.The Mursaglia and Lumiu vineyards sit on clay and limestone terroir, with the Carcu vineyard a clay and limestone slope, facing north east with vines planted in 1970, 1995 and 2009. This last terroir is used for the Cantina di Torra wines. Bindi goes gently in his vineyards, careful not to overwork to avoid soil erosion, with low input of copper and sulphur in the vineyard. The care extends to handpicking the grapes, going into 500L boxes to preserve the berries, many of which are picked early to ensure signature liveliness in the end wines. In the winery, the white grapes are pressed in whole bunches before allowing to naturally ferment for up to one month. The wines are then held in stainless steel for 12 months on fine lees. Unusually for Corsica, the white wines also go through malolactic fermentation. The red grapes are de-stemmed in order to avoid bitterness, with cold maceration for 48 hours and a natural fermentation never exceeding one month. During this time, the juice will see light pumping over daily to wet the top of the tank, avoiding over extraction to create wines with finesse. None of the wines are filtered given the natural clarification over time. Perhaps it’s Mariotti’s training in law that has fostered a precision from the vineyard right through to the labelling - each wine has the exact percentage of alcohol and sulphur written on the label. The wines are also certified organic, however Bindi chooses not to advertise this on the bottles.. Nicolas’ wines are lively and incredibly pure. Delicious in their youth and also capable of ageing brilliantly, we recommend buying some for now, and some for later!

- Domaine Rohrer | Alsace | Mosaique Wines
Domaine André Rohrer is based in Mittelbergheim, in the northern part of Alsace region and is run by young and talented Ludovic Rohrer. The Rohrer family have been making wine in the region for eight generations. Today they farm organically and biodynamically across eight hectares of vines. Domaine ROHRER Alsace Organic and Biodynamic certified Alsace is a region that is still largely misunderstood by wine lovers and professionals alike. It can be regarded as being as complex as Burgundy, with the mosaique of different terroirs resulting in Cru expression that is just fantastic. Protected on the West by the Vosges mountains, the vineyards run along 170 km, known as the famous ‘Route des Vins d’Alsace’. This region borders with Germany, and grows many of the same grape varietals although the Alsatian expressions are generally drier. Domaine André Rohrer is based in Mittelbergheim, in the northern part of Alsace region and is run by young and talented Ludovic Rohrer. The Rohrer family have been making wine in the region for eight generations. Today they farm organically and biodynamically across eight hectares of vines including 0.18 hectares in the Grand Cru Zotzenberg. The vineyards are spread across three villages: Eichoffen, Mittelbergheim and Barr. Each village produces different varietals and expressions of terroir. Eichoffen produces Riesling and Gewurztraminer on silty sand over marl, Mittelbergheim south of the village with the lieu dit ‘Stein’ is known for powerful Riesling on grey marls and limestone, Mittelbergheim west of the village with the lieu dit ‘Le Forst’ produces Pinot Noir on sandstone and Mittelbergheim east of the village with the lieu dit ‘l’Oberscheuer’ brings Pinot Gris on deep soils made of marls and sandstone. The Rohrer family became early adopters of sustainable and organic farming methods. In the 1960s Ludovic’s grandfather had already stopped the use of herbicide and encouraged herbs to grow between the vines. In the 1980s they ceased the use of all chemical pesticides and finally in 2001, André started the conversion of the Domaine towards organic certification. Today they are certified both organic and biodynamic. This conversion in the vineyard over the past decades has allowed them to improve the purity of their wines, with the full expression of their terroirs. Perfect expertise of vinification and natural winemaking, these wines are as pure as they come. Organic and biodynamic farming in the vineyard along with hand harvesting is followed in the cellar by traditional ageing in old Alsacian oak foudres. Most of the wines have no filtration and no sulphur added, only the wines with residual sugar are lightly filtered and lightly sulphured so they remain stable. It is also common that the family will hold wines longer in the cellar when a vintage or a cuvee needs it, for example the 2019 will only be released for 2021 Spring. With such care comes outstanding wines of purity, texture, honesty, generosity and length. These are wine to be sought out and savoured. ‘Esch Hab Di Garn’ Meaning ‘I love you’ in Alsacian. this is a multi-vintages blend of Gewurztraminer, Auxerrois, Sylvaner (with skin contact) and a little Riesling and Muscat. ‘Riesling’ Dry, powerful and driven with an incredible fleshy texture and length. ‘Gewurztraminer’ Ginger meets pineapple and the smokiness and drive from the terroir make it incredible example from the region. ‘Hors Piste’ Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer is a superb Alsacian skin contact wine with incredible texture and flavours definition. ‘Nouvelle Lune’ A lively, fresh and bright Pinot Noir aged in old barrel offering a vibrant energy and an array of flavours.

- Chateau Gombaude Guillot | Mosaique Wines
Spread across 6.9 hectares, the vines of Chateau Gombaude Guillot are planted to 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% old vine Malbec, which is more than 80 years of age. The wines are known for their elegance, finesse, and balance. chateau Gombaude-Guillot Pomerol, Bordeaux Organic certified JANE ANSON: "There is a brilliant, brilliant estate that I love called Gombaude Guillot. They are a very small producer, organic, biodynamic - great to look out for and very good value." True to the foundational spirit of Bordeaux, the estate dating back from 1860 was secured via marriage. The Bélevier family were well established as vignerons in Pomerol and Néac when this property was passed down to Marie Bélevier as a dowry in 1868. Later, in 1922, the actual chateau would be added to the property, retiring itself as the local post-church cafe for a grander life. Fast-forward to 2010, and you’ll find 6th generation Olivier Techer at the helm of this certified organic estate. Perhaps it was this extensive knowledge of healthy soil that also fostered a passion for sustainability that has extended to a pursuit of biodynamic certification Chateau Gombaude-Guillot are recognised as one of the first in area to spearhead an organic approach in the vineyard, with the Château Gombaude-Guillot 2000 vintage the first organic certified Pomerol wine, along with their 1.15 ha Clos Plince. The desire to lessen the environmental impact of the chateau extends beyond the vineyard, sourcing local oak for use in the winery. Planted across 7 hectares, the vines of Chateau Gombaude-Guillot are located in the unique plateau of Pomerol; with 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% old vine Malbec, which is more than 80 years of age. Surrounded by decent neighbours (Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Lafleur, Chateau Clinet and Chateau Trotanoy) the vineyards are comprised of glacial gravel deposits and clay, and vineyard work is focused around soil health, low yields, and maximising ripeness. To encourage microbiological activity between vineyard rows, Olivier has planted a range of cover crops, and avoids using chemical or synthetic herbicides or fungicides. The importance of the vineyard’s ecosystem is the priority here. When the time comes to harvest, grapes are hand-picked, then sorted, de-stemmed and lightly crushed. The wine then undergoes natural fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel tanks for 3-4 weeks, with regular pumpovers occuring at the beginning of fermentation (2-4 times a day). Once ferments are complete, depending on the cuvee the wines are aged in a mix of stainless steel tanks, old oak barrels or amphora before bottling (unfiltered). The resulting wines of Château Gombaude-Guillot are known for their elegance, finesse, and balance. They are recognised as showcasing the unique terroir of Pomerol and we are thrilled to share their legacy in Australia.
