Staff Pick Notes

Jakob Herzan earned a doctorate studying maceration of grapes to make wine. He focused on Qvevri, Georgian earth vessels. He used what he learned to make Vina Herzanovi’s Anfora wine. As with all of Herzan's wines, the vines are farmed biodynamically (not certified), and made with minimal intervention. This has macerated, fermented, and aged on the skins for 9 months in the clay pot. The wine is intense with flavors of pine, earth, baking spice, and black tea. Dried figs, dried apricot, and apple skins give the wine a fruit forward push. It also shows salinity, umami, and tannins. Shake and disperse the sediment for that chewy texture. Great with veal osso buco.
