Founded in 1548, Yoshinogawa is the eighth oldest existing saké brewery in Japan and the very first saké brewery to be established in the now famed Niigata Prefecture (North and West of Tokyo, along the sea of Japan). The knowledge of multiple centuries goes into crafting each bottle of Yoshinogawa saké. This sake, classified 'Gokujo' meaning 'excellent', is delicate, dry and fragrant with a crisp, clean finish, soft acidity and subtle complexity are noted before hints of anise, fresh herbs, … more

This work wonders on wines rich in structure and fruit concentration and for wines high in tannin. Broader-based than most 'Bordeaux' glass styles its unique design accentuates and brings harmony to a wine's potency, concentration, extract and tannins. While is comes particularly recommended for Bordeaux, Brunello di Montalcino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz etc, it actually works brilliantly with Nebbiolo and Pinot, too. Don't let the name fool you into thinking this is a one-dimensional stem.

The wide bowl in this glass gives maximum surface area, allowing the different components of the wine to open up and 'show' with great precision. Particularly good for enhancing the sweeter, fruit characteristics of a wine. As the name suggests, this is recommended for: Pinot Noir/Burgundy, but also Nebbiolo, Barbera, Chardonnay and Grüner Veltliner.
While, some glassware manufacturers seem intent on steering decanter design into the realm of flamboyant objets d'art, Zalto craft only two, function-over-form designs. They both look and handle with style but more importantly; they are practical and just work brilliantly. The Axium is the smaller of the two and is designed for medium-bodied red wines and medium to full-bodied white wines.
The Mystique is designed for all full-bodied red wines, in particular young powerful red wines that require a bigger surface/air ratio for the enhanced exposure of the wine's individual characteristics and finer nuances. Also ideal for decanting magnums.
Twin Pack.
This glass is designed for full-bodied and powerful wines, with its shape allowing both the wine's depth and intensity to shine through, whilst still accentuating its underlying complexity and finesse.
Specially recommended for: Chardonnay, Chianti, Riesling and wines from the Wachau.
Twin Pack.
Zalto recommend this glass for Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and the like, as well as lighter-bodied reds. If you are familiar with the popular Riedel Riesling/Sangiovese glass, this would be your closest match. Its use is far from limited however. We use this glass for sherries, sparkling wine and even spirits (when Melanie Tesseron of Cognac Tesseron was in Australia this was the glass used at the tastings. It can work perfectly well as a general glass for both … more

Through the elevations of the Rhine Rift around Birkweiler, Albersweiler and Frankweiler geologically really old types of soil came to the top. That's why the most famous old part of Kastanienbusch is well known for the really rear types of red slate. This type of soil developed 280 Million years ago. It contains granite, slate and melaphyre. Through the high iron content the soil is dark red and is a really good heat reservoir. Kastanienbusch is the only vineyard side … more
