From grapes harvested at their perfect degree of ripeness, hand picked, in boxes of 25 kilos. From the vineyards in the Salnés Valley. Stemmed grape soft pressed and, following a light debourbage, the must ferments spontaneously in stainless steel tanks where they subsequently rest and stabilize until bottled.

Tasting: Straw yellow with greenish iridescence, with a highly expressive nose, marked by its varietal origin, where ripe fruit and citric fruits are noted ... 
Very elegant on the mouth and well-structured, reminiscent of fresh fruit ... with a long, marked finish.

Tasting: Ruby red, well-covered, with a young, bright appearance. Clean on the nose, with no faults, fruity aromas particular to the variety, and reminiscences of minerals. Good finish in the mouth, silky, unctuous, with a solid structure (despite being a young wine), a very well-balanced acidity and good aftertaste.

Pairing: Tender meats, white meats, roast poultry, tender casseroles, fish stews and octopus

Purchase

Join us Friday and Saturday afternoons for our Riesling Tasting.  We will be sampling wines from Germany, France, and Oregon.

Riesling is a white grape varietal indigenous to the Rhine region of Germany. It is a light skinned and aromatic grape and is commonly thought to be one of the world’s finest white grape varietals along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The variety is widely planted in Germany, but is also grown in California, Oregon and Washington State, the Alsace region of France, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. And New York's Finger Lakes.

Riesling is known for it’s expressive and alluring bouquet, which suggests flowers, green apples, grapefruit, peach, and honeysuckle blossoms. While many associate Riesling with sweet wine, it actually produces a wide array of wines ranging from dry and complex to very sweet. 

Its naturally high acidity gives it a fresh, crisp taste, and even the sweeter styles are not too thick or syrupy. Riesling is affected by the climate and soil, or the terroir, of the region in which it is grown. For example Californian Rieslings tend to be drier and softer and may have a melon-like taste, while German Rieslings are generally sweeter, more tart, with a peach, apricot, or grapefruit flavor.

Because of its balance of acidity and sugar, Riesling is considered a versatile and food friendly wine. 

Dry Riesling is an ideal wine for pairing with seafood like lobster, oysters, or battered fish. It also complements chicken, pork, and light pastas, as well as vegetarian dishes. Sweeter and off-dry varieties go well with slightly sweeter food such as sweet barbeque sauces and fruit chutneys, and vegetables like corn, yams, turnips, and parsnips. The sweeter Rieslings make an excellent match for many Indian and Chinese dishes as well. 

Both varieties of Riesling are great with duck, goose, turkey, game birds, ham, sausage, and cold cuts, as well as spices like cinnamon, clove, ginger, cumin, and curry. 

Ancient Grape Varietals 

Modern Winemaking 

In the North, the focus is on red wines, with the best vineyards found at higher elevations (over 250 m / 1,000 ft). 

For example, on the slopes of Mount Olympus, the region Rapsani is where you’ll find bush vines of Xinomavro, Krasato, and Stavroto growing on schist soils. Wines from here are usually blends, with a dominance of Xinomavro and spicy flavors of raspberry, anise, fennel, cherry, and occasionally olive or tomato with tannins that build slowly (but surely!) on the palate. This area is kind of like the mountainous Rhône of Greece, which means the wines from here are ideal for Rhône blend lovers.

We are excited to be tasting some of the Skunktown's favorites:

Vodka

We hand pick our potatoes to ensure nothing but the best in our Vodka, from the start Our Vodka receives close attention and the highest scrutiny at each step to ensure a clean, smooth vodka every time.

Best served: Over Ice with lemon, With Cranberry

Spicy Vodka

We love heat!  So we added to our garden, the world's hottest pepper.  It's an "obvious" next step to throw a Carolina Reaper into our vodka so you can fire up your night!  

But be careful, this one has just enough heat that you don't realize you're even drinking alcohol.

Best served: In a Bloody Mary, With coconut water and olive garnish

Rum

Why fight to make a drink that masks off-flavors of poor rum when you can start with clean smooth rum.

That was our focus for our silver rum – providing the rum bite that is pleasurable in a drink while complementing your drinks ingredients.

Best served: Rum & Coke, Mojitos, Daiquiris

Oaked Rum

It's hard to top a nice rum-based refreshment with friends.  So our very next focus was delivering a warm, earthy rum to enjoy.  

Complex notes throughout with an oak backing to the entire taste; it's easy to understand why many regard our Oaked Rum as very whiskey-like.  

Best served: Neat, Dark & Stormy

Apple Pie Moonshine

Apples, Cinnamon, Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar and high proof moonshine, hand blended to deliver some of the best and highest proof Apple Pie Moonshine available on a store shelf.

Best served: Skunktown Mule (Moonshine and ginger beer), neat or over vanilla ice cream!
