Friday Feature: Antiquum Farm!

We have been huge fans of Antiquum Farm wines for some time now. We have had the pleasure of tasting and learning in person with Stephen, and with some of you, over those years too. This is a truly special winery and farm, both in the particulars of the land on which it sits, and in the way that land is managed. I will include a link because reading more of what Stephen has to say about their approach is worth it! Like many of our favorite wines, Antiquum comes and goes in a seasonal manner. We get what we can and then when that sells we have to patiently wait until the next release. So to encourage you to treat yourself while you have the chance we are featuring two of the new releases and giving you a bit of a discount. Life is short. Drink beautiful wine!

Antiquum Farm Daisy Pinot Gris
Regularly $39.99/On sale for $35.99
“Our daughter, Daisy, has a ferocious passion for chickens. When she was five, her burgeoning flock escaped and overran the vineyard. This happy accident became a defining moment for our farming, as we embraced the hens' natural inclination to scratch out weeds and balance insect populations. The 2021 Daisy has a bracing framework of acidity, minerality, and citrus. Pear and apple broaden to tropical fruit and a layered texture.”

Antiquum Farm Alium Pinot Gris
Regularly $59.99/On sale for $53.99
“The 2021 Alium explores another depth of expression from our ever-evolving Pinot Gris vineyard. We didn't set out to make this kind of wine, rather Alium gradually revealed itself to us over succeeding vintages. The wine hails from the western-most part of the vineyard, a section of approximately twelve rows. This is always the last Pinot Gris fruit to be harvested each year, so the grape skins have ample time to develop incredible depth and textural complexity. Forty days of skin maceration roots Alium in an earthbound tone and bends Antiquum Farm's tropicality toward an herbaceous, savory character, while the textural tension lends layers of density and intrigue.”
