Meza Wine Club / May 2025
Discovery White / White
Wine 1: Mary Taylor Sicilia White
This is 100% Grillo grown on a single hectare in the Gorghi Tondi and Preola Lake Nature Reserve in Western Sicily, slightly south of Marsala in the commune of Mazara del Vallo. 100% organic. We love the rich saline / citrus Mediterranean brightness of this wine – infinitely drinkable. Pair with all kinds of light healthy Mediterranean foods, especially seafood!
Tasting Notes: citrus, lemon, herbal notes, saline notes
Pair with: fish, shrimp ceviche, salads
Wine 2: Ramirez de la Piscina Rioja Blanco
This crisp, bright white wine is a blend of Macabeao and Viura from Rioja. The viticultural is sustainable. No pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides are used, and the vines are dry farmed. The vast majorit of the vineyards are cordon trained on trellis, with a small percentage of head trained vines in the oldest sites. Ramirez de la Piscina works with estate grown vineyards planted in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Ábalos, two of the most sought after sub-appellations in Rioja. The soils are particularly favored in this part of Rioja for their extremely high limestone content that balances out the clay. These limestone rich soils produce very mineral, elegant wines that age incredibly well.
Tasting Notes: baked peaches, apple, pear, vanilla
Pair with: seafood, grilled chicken, salads
