Softly layered and quietly expressive, Cleo’s Cuvée Pinot Noir from Daniel Ford offers a nuanced take on this beloved varietal. Aromas unfold gently with red cherry, wild strawberry, and a touch of dried rose woven together. The palate is smooth and elegantly structured, leaning into bright red fruit flavors with a delicate touch of cranberry and a whisper of oak. Its texture is supple, with fine tannins and a balanced acidity that keeps everything lifted and fresh without overwhelming the senses. The finish lingers with a blend of fruit and savory notes, making this Pinot Noir an easy companion to a variety of dishes or a simple evening shared over good conversation.

Polished and vibrant, St. Michael-Eppan Chardonnay reflects the alpine elegance of northern Italy with a beautifully refined profile. Aromas open with fresh apple, ripe melon, and banana, complemented by a hint of almond. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. Flavors of golden apple, lemon curd, and a touch of tropical fruit are supported by a crisp acidity and a mineral backbone. The texture is smooth yet lively, leading into a clean, lingering finish with a delicate touch of creaminess. Versatile and food-friendly, this Chardonnay pairs effortlessly with seafood, roasted chicken, light pasta dishes, or soft cheeses, offering a bright and sophisticated sip from start to finish.
