The Naveran family legacy began in 1901 and today, their estate owns 110 hectares (272 acres) of vines in the town of Torrelavit located in the Alt (high) Penedès subregion in northeastern Spain. Despite the fact that Cava is Spain’s largest volume wine export to the U.S., Cavas are made utilizing the same methods used in Champagne and have remained Spain’s best-kept secret for quality and value in wine. Unlike the majority of the big Cava houses that purchase most of their grapes, Naveran makes handcrafted Cavas from their own vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards are located within the DO Penedès (Zone 5) in northeastern Spain, a few miles south of Barcelona in the Alt Penedès subregion, at an elevation of 400 meters (1,312 ft.). The soils are composed of limestone and sandy topsoil with clay subsoil. The texture of the topsoil allows for good drainage while the subsoil has good water retention. The medium levels of pH in the soil and low percentage of organic matter result in moderate yields and balanced acidity in the grapes. Regarding the area's climate, the average temperature from April-October is 66.3F and the annual rainfall is 23.9 inches. The days are hot with moderate night temperatures for this high Mediterranean region. The Naveran Estate's higher elevation allows the grapes to retain more natural acidity, which results in wines that are zesty, fresh and have expressive aromas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naveran","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46333184934177,"sku":"P-4977","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/products\/naveran-rose.png?v=1692037597"},{"product_id":"2013-castello-di-ama-vigneto-bellavista-chianti-cl","title":"2018 Castello Di Ama “Vigneto Bellavista” Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, Tuscany, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003eCastello di Ama is an estate founded in the 1960s in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, particularly known for its range of single-vineyard Gran Selezione red wines, and the spicy, floral, dark fruit-laden IGT Toscana, l'Apparita, made from Merlot.

The vineyard occupies a gently sloping, east-facing site with limestone-rich clay soils that provide excellent drainage while retaining sufficient moisture to support balanced vine development. Its position along the boundary between these two renowned appellations contributes to a particularly harmonious expression of Chardonnay, offering both concentration and elegance.

Following gentle pressing, the fruit undergoes fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new oak that enhances complexity without overwhelming the vineyard’s distinctive character. Aging on fine lees contributes richness, depth, and a refined, creamy texture while preserving the wine’s vibrant acidity and mineral precision.

Adjacent to the Van Duzer Corridor - an East to West running corridor through the coast range - the vineyards benefit from moderating afternoon ocean breezes. As the valley heats up on warm summer days it creates a sink for the cool maritime breezes that are pulled through the corridor and across the vineyards. The result is a daily beating by the Van Duzer winds lowering the average daily temperatures 2-3°F compared to the Dundee Hills and other sub regions of the Willamette Valley. The cooler, slower growing season allows the fruit to obtain ripe flavors at lower sugar levels and higher acidity. The elevation of Johan Vineyards Estate ranges from approximately 180 to 380 feet, with several different slope directions. The soils are Helvetia, Steiwer, and Santiam silts formed primarily from Missoula Flood deposits over ancient marine sedimentary rock. For Johan Vineyards, the Missoula Floods devastation through the valley has resulted in a very complex soil composition, characterized by shallow topsoils with a high concentration of decomposed granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farming philosophy of Johan Vineyards is to integrate natural farming methods with the most advanced viticultural research to produce the highest possible quality fruit that is true to its terroir. In 2010 Johan Vineyards received both Organic Certification from Stellar Certification Services and Biodynamic Certification from Demeter USA. The winemaking at Johan is now under the guidance of Morgan Beck, who after spending time in various winemaking positions in California, came to Johan in 2015. In the spring of 2020, Morgan was also entrusted to be the General Manager at Johan in addition to her winemaking responsibilities. The wines are made with all native fermentations and a limited use of new French oak. Because of the long, cooler growing season at the site they get very good lignification of the stems and therefore utilize a good percentage of whole cluster in the winemaking as well. The resulting wines are precise with a beautiful purity and a very savory element.

Adjacent to the Van Duzer Corridor - an East to West running corridor through the coast range - the vineyards benefit from moderating afternoon ocean breezes. As the valley heats up on warm summer days it creates a sink for the cool maritime breezes that are pulled through the corridor and across the vineyards. The result is a daily beating by the Van Duzer winds lowering the average daily temperatures 2-3°F compared to the Dundee Hills and other sub regions of the Willamette Valley. The cooler, slower growing season allows the fruit to obtain ripe flavors at lower sugar levels and higher acidity. The elevation of Johan Vineyards Estate ranges from approximately 180 to 380 feet, with several different slope directions. The soils are Helvetia, Steiwer, and Santiam silts formed primarily from Missoula Flood deposits over ancient marine sedimentary rock. For Johan Vineyards, the Missoula Floods devastation through the valley has resulted in a very complex soil composition, characterized by shallow topsoils with a high concentration of decomposed granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farming philosophy of Johan Vineyards is to integrate natural farming methods with the most advanced viticultural research to produce the highest possible quality fruit that is true to its terroir. In 2010 Johan Vineyards received both Organic Certification from Stellar Certification Services and Biodynamic Certification from Demeter USA. The winemaking at Johan is now under the guidance of Morgan Beck, who after spending time in various winemaking positions in California, came to Johan in 2015. In the spring of 2020, Morgan was also entrusted to be the General Manager at Johan in addition to her winemaking responsibilities. The wines are made with all native fermentations and a limited use of new French oak. Because of the long, cooler growing season at the site they get very good lignification of the stems and therefore utilize a good percentage of whole cluster in the winemaking as well. The resulting wines are precise with a beautiful purity and a very savory element. The Johan wines are a food friendly, elegant style of Oregon Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johan Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46333537419553,"sku":"210000015652","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/products\/jazzyjuice.jpg?v=1692039796"},{"product_id":"2025-christina-zweigelt-rose-carnuntum-austria","title":"2025 Christina Zweigelt Rosé, Carnuntum, Austria","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #6794b4; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eABOUT THE WINE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes are hand harvested and direct pressed to stainless steel tanks, with just a few hours contact with the skins to provide color.

Sophie Meunier, now a fourthgeneration Burgundian landowner, and her husband Alain, took over the Domaine from her father, Jean-Jacques, after he fell ill in the mid 1980s. After studying winemaking together, Sophie and Alain began to quickly center in on what they wanted to do with their newly inherited property. The Meuniers are firm believers that good wine begins in the vineyard with healthy, sustainably-grown vines. In 1988 they attended a lecture given by Claude Bourguignon, an expert in the microbiology of flora and fauna of soils. Inspired by Claude's ideas, they began to explore organic viticulture and quickly made the decision to move in this direction with their vineyards. The Domaine has now been farming organically and sustainably since 1989 and some of the Confuron vineyards are ploughed by horse to further maintain soil health. The Domaine owns eight hectares of vines with plots in twelve appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Included in their holdings are vines in the prestigious Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and the Grand Crus of Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. At 80-years of age, the Confuron's plot in Chambolle-Musigny is the oldest in the Domaine and Alain has consistently ploughed it by horse since 2003. The cellar was completely updated in 1989 and is outfitted with the latest technology, including pneumatic presses and temperature-controlled fermentation systems. The wines generally age for 15-18 months in barriques with the Premier Crus seeing up to 70% new oak and the Grand Crus up to 100% new oak. Highly sought after worldwide, Alain and Sophie's exquisite wines showcase the best of Burgundy through their meticulous representation of terroir and careful winemaking practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Jacques Confuron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46333557080353,"sku":"210000012283","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/4_40aa35a8-5926-4fba-bcc6-67b0c8dcf689.png?v=1779299659"}],"url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/collections\/women-in-wine.oembed?page=26","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
