Chile desert wine hits the market

The region of the Central Valley of Chile is known by most of the wine production in that country. But now another area begins to be exploited. Further north of the known Limari region, in the middle of the Atacama desert, is the terroir of Huasco Kalfu, produced by Ventisquero Winery. Kalfu baptizes a series of nine wines, which will hit the market by the end of the year.
Among the varieties planted are Sauvignon Blanc, one of the main white grape varieties, Chile and Pinot Noir grapes that have adapted well to the calcareous soil and the refreshing sea breeze that tempers the high temperatures of the desert.
It's a different experience prove the Kalfu Sumpai Sauvignon Blanc 2013. He has notes of tropical fruit and herbal touches, but it's surprising he minerality, leave on for a bit of saltiness in the Pacific. Already the Kalfu Kuda Pinot Noir 2013 is elegant and brings the maturity of the capricious Pinot Noir, with its spicy notes and red fruits like cherries and plums. With barrel aging, it also brings notes of vanilla and chocolate. Without doubt, Huasco is a terroir which still hear too much.
OTHER CUPS
Drink of cinema
The House Momus honors the Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni with the drink Zabriskie Point. Created by mixologist Lelo Forti, takes Absolut Elyx, cucumber, sour mix and sugar syrup, and was inspired by the film of the same name by filmmaker who portrays against American culture in the decades of 60 and 70.
Distillate fluminense
With notes of ipê, cherry or traditional, just so damn pure or caipirinha. Has for all tastes in the new letter of cachaças of the Rubaiyat, prepared by Deise Novakoski sommelière, who selected Rio de Janeiro to the menu labels only.
Real Gin
The Argentine Principe de los Apóstoles gin, who has smoked notes, reigns in two drinks of new cards from the La Cevicheria in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro and Bridget's, in Leblon. The first brings the Apóstoles Rojo, with red fruits. In Bridget's, the proposal is to serve it with passion fruit juice, vanilla and red pepper in the Sole di Capri. The new letter from Bridget's also brings delight as the refreshing Mellini, a rereading of Bellini, which leads instead of peach, melon puree.
A sort of refinement
The Maison Moet Chandon & decided to give a sort of refinement for Champagne Moët Impérial. A Special Edition arrives in Brazil with a bottle of champagne Moët Impérial Brut 750 ml and two glass bowls. The cut is the traditional French region, with grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. They provide a soft and delicate flavor, making it a versatile drink that can follow from appetizers to desserts. With cups, put on ice and drink.
Floral paradox
All the freshness of the terroirs of the Serra Gaucha and the campaign was bottled in sparkling wine Salton Paradox. He was drafted with the Viognier grape, which gives fruity, peach and apricot; Alvarinho, with a pleasant citrus acidity; Sauvignon Blanc, with tropical fruit notes; and the Malvasia, with floral touch. The combination of these four varieties is balanced with good acidity, fundamental for a sparkling wine.
Old World
The sommelier Paul Nicolay selected labels from the old world to the dinner at day 22, the four hands of the chefs, Dudu Marsh and Frederick Fisher. The idea was born between the importer and the Paneterie Flora House, a mix of bakery, bistro and deli. Among the delights are the Roti fillet accompanied by blue cheese risotto served with the Marquis of Borba wine red and tartar from three fish to the Tiger's milk, harmonized with Chateau Reynon.
