Staff Pick Notes

Tom Lubbe was born in South Africa, grew up in New Zealand and started his winemaking journey in the Rousillon region of Southwest France. He felt he had an affinity for the varietals that grow there. He fell in love, got married, and confirmed that that's where he'd stay. He has since become a renegade hero in the natural wine world. Coume de l'Olla uses fruit from the the vineyard of that name. Aromatic Macabeu and Muscat comprise the blend. The vines are 45 years old and grow on marl and limestone. The must is in contact with stems and skins for 14 days in concrete. It is a wine that is so vibrant and full of life. You'll find a beautiful melange of orange colored fruit like persimmon, cantaloupe, and mandarin. Mouthwatering acidity keeps the wine feeling fresh. At the back, the feel of supple tannins kick in.
