In truly exceptional vintages, Clementi produces a staggering Amarone Riserva which they age for a minimum of ten years in barrel, followed by at least five years in bottle. To date, they have produced such a wine only in 2007, 2009, and 2015, and we are thrilled to debut the 2007 Amarone Riserva into our portfolio this spring—an eye-popping 19 years after it was harvested.

We are thrilled to introduce Domaine de la Touraize—the eighth grower in RWM’s long history with the Jura. André-Jean (“A-J”) Morin is the eighth generation of Morin to tend the vine in Arbois, beginning with his ancestor Etienne in 1704, but the family enterprise nearly didn’t survive the calamitous 20th century.

Our launch earlier this year of Josef “Joe” Fischer’s ebullient wines from the Danube’s southern banks met with immediate success, and we are thrilled to expand our work with this up-and-coming Wachau superstar this fall.

Within Tuscany’s relatively conservative winegrowing culture, Maria Sole Gianelli’s wines are a breath of fresh air. Maria Sole’s farm is called Ficomontanino (roughly, “Little Fig Mountain”), a property her grandfather acquired in the 1960s as a place to produce olive oil and breed horses.

It is no exaggeration to count Josko Gravner among the most influential winegrowers of the past half-century, and in the world of low-intervention wine his impact is perhaps unmatched. Gravner’s revival of the ancient practices of white-wine skin-maceration and subterranean amphorae in the early 2000s was a bold rejection of technology’s ever-increasing role in the winemaking process, and it is a testament to his vision, skill, and tenacity that he experienced such resounding success in light of such a radical reimagining of purpose.

In 2023, the Crochet family wanted to try something different: a true single-vineyard bottling that prioritized the expression of terroir above that of élevage or ripeness level.

Ton Mata and his longtime partner Encarna Castillo—together since 1998 when they met as interns in Champagne—yearned to produce sparkling wine on a truly artisanal scale, using the same technology (or lack thereof) with which Ton’s grandfather began Recaredo in 1924. In the late 2000s, Ton and Encarna purchased a modest 19th century house in the residential neighborhood of Can Rossell de la Serra, just 5 kilometers from Recaredo’s village of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, aiming to use its pre-existing cellar as space in which to realize their dream of producing a truly homemade sparkling wine.

Rather than crafting their lineup to accommodate perceived market demand, Philippe and Vincent allow the character of the growing season to dictate which wines they produce from a given harvest.

In Jacques’ modest cellar beneath his house in Montigny-les-Arsures, Emeric learned the virtues of restraint and the value in trusting one’s fruit; he learned to act as shepherd rather than “winemaker,” and his wines at Les Matheny embody that philosophy arguably more emphatically than even Puffeney’s did.
