Scea Chateau Haut Pougnan : A Winery In The Heart of Entre-Deux-Mers by Singapore Newspaper

Scea Chateau Haut-Pougnan is located in the center of Entre-Deux-Mers, a wine area in Bordeaux, France, on the slopes of the right bank of the Garonne, on outstanding clay-limestone and gravelly soils. The plantation’s red wine vineyards are located in the east and south, while white wine grapes are located in the west.

The clay-limestone composition of the soils in the area allows the vineyard to produce extremely good wines with a precise bouquet.

The greatest way to enjoy white wines is to try them when they’re still fresh. They’re a fantastic addition to fish and seafood recipes. Rosé wines pair well with appetizers and cold cuts of meat. Over the first two years, these wines improve significantly. After three to five years, the red wine aged for one year in oak barrels blossoms. For eight to ten years, great vintages mature gracefully in the cellar.

Casa Santos Lima : A multi-region wine producer and the biggest producer of “Vinho Regional Lisboa”, a major exporter of Portuguese wines by Singapore Newspaper

Casa Santos Lima is a family-owned and operated company that specializes in the manufacture, bottling, and distribution of Portuguese wines. It operates in the regions of Lisbon, Algarve, Alentejo, Douro, and Vinhos Verdes, either directly or indirectly.

Casa Santos Lima was established to carry on the Santos Lima family’s business for several generations. Joaquim Santos Lima, who was already a significant wine grower and exporter around the turn of the century, began this enterprise. The company was restarted in 1990 by José Lus Santos Lima Oliveira da Silva, the founder’s great-grandson, who replanted a substantial portion of the vines, improved the vine vines, and modernized the entire production structure.

The company’s headquarters (offices, store, and the largest wine cellars) are currently located in Quinta da Boavista in Alenquer, about 45 kilometers north of Lisbon. For five generations, the Santos Lima family has owned this Quinta, which provides ideal circumstances for the production of high-quality wine. Casa Santos Lima also has its own vineyards and winery in Tavira, Algarve, and explores vineyards and wineries in the Alentejo, Douro, and Vinhos Verdes regions through agreements and collaborations with other firms and producers.

Casa Santos Lima offers a diverse wine range, producing red, white, rosé, sparkling, semi-sparkling, light, and late harvests every year and in five distinct areas. This diverse range of alternatives enables the company to operate with tremendous dynamism in both the domestic and international markets, resulting in consistent year-over-year growth.

The famous wine competition “Mundus Vini 2021” awarded Casa Santos Lima the title for “Best Portuguese Producer.” This is not the first time the company has been acknowledged in this category; the “Berliner Wein Trophy 2020” competition has given them this honor for the second year in a row.

Very recently, Casa Santos Lima has joined Singapore Newspaper Wines, Spirits and Beers Competition and won Eight gold medal award and two silver medal in this prestigious competition: This honor reaffirms the company’s exceptional posture and efforts on both a national and international level.

Brouwerij Biermaekers : Artisanal beers exclusively use the best Belgian hops for a superior taste

Brouwerij Biermaekers - Singapore Newspaper

The beers in the Bux range are from West Flanders, Belgium’s only coastal area that hugs the North Sea. The flat, lowlands region is noted for its excellent grain and hop production, among other things. Brouwerij Biermaekers is located in Ypres, a historic center of textile and wool production, and the brewery’s core line, in fact, has its origins in this nearby industry. In 1998, a one-off craft beer was developed to commemorate the 20th anniversary of a local sheep breeders group. It was dubbed “Bukske” from the local dialect term for a ram/male sheep.

In July 2014, microbrewer Dieter Van Biervliet discovered a few bottles of the original Bukske anniversary beer aging in a cellar after many years. Despite the fact that they were around 16 years old at the time, they still tasted great. Dieter was able to reproduce the original Bukske formula, and an initial batch of 3,000 bottles of the reintroduced beer soon sold out. Since then, the brewery has released limited-edition batches of Bukske on occasion, as well as drawing inspiration from that beer to create their own remarkable line of “Bux” beers (which proved a bit easier to pronounce).

The Belgian Hops label was awarded to the Brouwerij Biermaekers Driemasten beers in 2015 for using only Belgian hops in the creation of their brews. They were also given the designation of being a real West Flemish regional product, based on their connection to regional beer history and the usage of West Flemish brewing components. Using increased demand for the brewery’s beers in 2016, the decision was taken to launch a new line of Bux beers brewed entirely with local hops. The Bux beer lineup has subsequently extended to include a Blond, Brown, Gold, Amber, Session, and Tripel formulation, and we’re thrilled to offer our Rare Beer Club members the bottled Bux Tripel, which is our favorite from the Bux lineup, this month. This rich, golden Belgian tripel is brewed with Cascade, Northern Brewer, Centennial, and 7784 hop varietals, and it will be the first time the bottled-conditioned version of their Bux Tripel will be available in the United States—exclusively for the Rare Beer Club.

Dieter keeps in regular contact with the brewery’s hop growers throughout the year, keeping track on hop quality evolution and discussing ideas on how to best achieve distinct hop flavors and aromatics from each year harvest for the Bux series of releases. In recent years, the brewery has created a number of other unique offerings, including a Belgian pale ale called Steene Molen (aka “the Brick Mill,” reflecting elements of Belgium’s street horse racing) and a collaboration with Brouwerij Dikke Jan’s Pol Meersman to develop Apero.beer, an 8.5 percent ABV beer based on the botanicals used to make gin.

Very recently, Brouwerij Biermaekers has been recognized and awarded Gold Medal Award and Silver Medal Award by Singapore Newspaper Wines, Spirits and Beers Competition :

Bux Brown 7,5°

Awarded Gold by Singapore Newspaper

Bux Beer is a dark brown beer with a dense foam head. The different types of malts ensure its refined flavor. The aroma of raisins and brown sugar make the beer special. Raisins provide a good initial taste and the bitterness of the hops gives just enough counterweight so the beer is balanced and enjoyable.

Bux Tripel 8,5°

Awarded Silver by Singapore Newspaper

A beautiful golden foam that sticks to the glass. Light Fruity aroma with hints of honey. Sweet starting point, medium body that properly masks the alcohol. The outflow is bitter at first but then makes you want more.

AZIENDA Agricola Stella Giuseppe : Three generations of producing good wines

AZIENDA Agricola Stella Giuseppe : Three generations of producing good wines by Singapore Newspaper

The Stella Agricultural Company was founded in the 1920s in the Monferrato municipality of Costigliole d’Asti. The gold medals won in the year 1928, at the first sample wine exhibition in Costigliole d’Asti and the national food exhibition in Turin, attest to the constant commitment, always aiming at the greatest quality of the vineyard and wine.

Domenico Stella, who was also a music teacher in addition to being a winery, was the first producer. The marriage of wine and song has since become a symbol of the winery and peasant tradition. The company has named two wines after its founder: a Barbera-based red wine and a Chardonnay-based white wine, both dubbed “Giaiet” in Piedmontese dialect.

Today, the company has roughly 12 hectares of vineyards planted with red grape types including barbera, dolcetto, and grignolino, as well as white grape varieties like cortese, chardonnay, and moscato.

Giuseppe Stella is the current owner of the company, while his sons Massimo and Paolo are in charge of the wine and commercial activities. All of the company’s wines are either single-varietal or native Piedmontese blends. In recent years, new plants have been developed with the goal of bolstering the Barbera vine, which thrives in the terroir where the company is located.

Monferrato is one of the most well-known wine areas in Italy, particularly for red and sparkling wines. The dry continental environment, with scorching summers that can lead to drought and exceptionally harsh winters, as well as the land’s unique hydrogeological conformation, are ideal for viticulture, making wine not only a source of economic riches for the region, but also a true symbol of Monferrato culture and heritage.

Until a few decades ago, the company’s primary goal was to produce real wines, with the basic principle of accentuating the region’s native grapes, which are plentiful in Piedmont. All of the company’s wines are made from native Piedmont grapes, which is a good example of this. Currently, the company produces roughly 40,000 bottles, but new plants have been planted in recent years, bolstering the Barbera vine.

Very recently, AZIENDA Agricola Stella Giuseppe has been awarded for several years and very recently, AZIENDA Agricola Stella Giuseppe has joined Singapore Awards 2021 and won a GOLD Medal Award in this prestigious competition:

BARBERA D‘ASTI SUPERIORE DOCG IL MAESTRO 2018

The traditional Lebaniega Alquitara is made of copper, a unique container of Arabic origin, which has been used since ancient times to distilled drop by drop, that traditional liqueur that warmed the soul and accompanied it faithfully on so many occasions.

With this heritage and knowledge of master artisan, the distillery is made up of only six typical copper Alquitaras, but with the incorporation of independent temperature control, with which we keep processes even more careful, constant, and very slow, which guarantee our own and high demands.

This is how the `hollejos` (skins, seeds and remains) are distilled from winemaking, once it has finished and the wine is uncovered, that is, it is separated from the `hollejos`. The alcohols are evaporated in the boiler (lower part) and ascending through the ´capotillo` (intermediate part) to condense in the cup (upper part) and flow slowly. In a process of about 16 hours, with an approximate load of 200kg. We only get a poor performance of one liter per hour and a total of about 16 liters for each Alquitara to collect only the best of the best.

Precisely because of its extraordinary quality this schnapps is lately one of the most awarded artisan marc in the country.

BODEGA PICOS DE CABARIEZO defense and interest in this area has made to continue to plant vines, in addition to buying the production from small local producers, contributing to the recovery and care of the older ones that have subsisted, and always looking for the most particular expression of environment.

a6mani S.r.l. : Delicious wines are born from intertwining of cultures and passions

a6mani S.r.l. - Singapore Newspaper

The beautiful region of Puglia in Southern Italy is a crossroads of peoples and cultures who have settled in one place for centuries, an age-old tale of love for the soil, labor, and joys. Even the tiniest sliver of land in Puglia tells a story about itself, its past and history, a story made up of rocks, men and women, red soil, and centuries-old plants.

The a6mani winery and its delectable wines are the product of this fusion of cultures and passions, as well as the magnificent Salento vineyards and three women’s genuine love for their homeland.

Monte la Conca, Li Marini, Mesola delle Volpi, Troncarea, and Campofreddo are among the estates involved in the a6mani project, which are separated by around 20 kilometers. Despite their small size, each of these vineyards has its own unique geoclimatic conditions, ranging from red earth on a calcareous subsoil to sandy soils near the sea. On the former, old sapling plants with low yields are grown; on the latter, the wines are blended to produce a more sophisticated aromatic expression. Different terroirs give rise to distinct wine lines, both of which are manifestations of Salento’s pedoclimatic diversity. The a6mani vineyards grow like open-air museums, neat and stunning, with rich and concentrated grapes, complex fruit, and a balanced taste.

MILLENNIAL TRADITIONS, YOUNG IDEAS

For centuries, Salento, on the far southern tip of the Apulian peninsula, has been a land suited to viticulture.

Intertwining of ethnic groups and passions, a crossroads area of peoples, where the history of vine cultivation and wine production has ancient roots and has progressed to the present day by developing its traditions, enriching its technique, and enthralling the world with its tales.

WOMEN WHO LOVE THE EARTH

The a6mani winery is located in the heart of the PDO Primitivo di Manduria, and its wines are the product of three women’s sincere love for their land: three cousins in an impeccable 6-handed execution for a project to be carried out together.

They’ve been making wines from native grapes like Primitivo and Negroamaro since 2011, with the aim of educating the world about this wonderful region and its potential. With their low yields and excellent quality potential, the older plants, the small saplings, are the best expression of this.

Very recently, a6mani S.r.l. has joined Singapore Awards 2021 and won a Gold Medal Award and a Silver Medal Award in this prestigious competition:

Concura Primitivo di Manduria Dop Riserva 2017

Awarded Gold by Singapore Newspaper

A red wine from Primitivo di Manduria based on the best primitivo from 2017 and has an alcoholic strength of 14%. 4 of 5 points is the average score of this red according to Drinks&Co users.

Familia Primitivo di Manduria Dop 2019

Awarded Silver by Singapore Newspaper

This Primitivo di Manduria seduces with its intense purple-red and its powerful bouquet. In the nose, an intense scent of ripe cherries and plums, accompanied by fine cocoa and vanilla aromas. Six-month storage in oak barrels gives the Primitivo a6mani Familia a velvety soft texture and additional flavour.
