2024 La Famille Brut - Case of 12 Deal
Case of 12 Bottles
La Famille ("The Family") Wines are a handpicked family of wines from across the globe, chosen for their ability to express variety, style and region. In the mix you’ll find classics like a Bourgogne Blanc (White Burgundy - Chardonnay), a rustic Montepulciano from Abruzzo, and very soon, a textural Chenin Blanc from Vouvray. These are wines with story, structure and soul, and all serve as benchmarks in their category.
For this release, importers and distributors Wine Diamonds have unearthed a special parcel of Marlborough Riesling, grown sustainably on a unique patchwork of deep clay and alluvial river stones. It’s this tension between the full-bodied clay and the mineral-rich stones that gives the wine palate weight, aromatics and acidity — an ideal foundation for sparkling Riesling.
This is a Brut sparkling — that is to say it is dry - but this is far from lean or austere. Expect a wine that balances richness with refreshment: aromas of lemon verbena, grapefruit pith and orange blossom flow from the glass, while the palate is crisp, fine-boned, and zippy. There’s a lovely citrus edge and a clean, salivating finish that keeps you coming back for more. Light on its feet but with serious intent — this is sparkling with poise, charm, and serious drinkability.
