Alliance Wine

Alliance Wine

Founded in 1984. by Christian Bouteiller and Jonathan Kennett, the team already has two Master of Wine winners - Fergal Tynan M.W and Giles Cooke M.W. The company's home is Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland and from this simple idyllic village, today Alliance Wines has grown into one of the leading suppliers of wine in the United Kingdom. They import wine from over 20 countries around the world and represent over 200 producers. Tireless in their pursuit of the extraordinary and thirsty for wines with soul and personality, it is no surprise that they focus and turn to the creation and cultivation of their own wines. This passion leads them to search for specific terroirs and - for now - they make wine in Australia, Spain, France and Chile.

Niederösterreich

Niederösterreich

Lower Austria is the largest Austrian wine-growing region for quality wine. Under its name, an abundance of wine cultures is gathered, ranging from vine styles of local varieties to distinctive interpretations of international types. The eight specific wine-growing regions located in the area - with sonorous names like Wachau in the west and Carnuntum in the east - can be roughly divided into three climatic zones: Weinviertel in the north, the Danube River with its side valleys (Traisen, Kamp, and Krems) to the west of Vienna, and Pannonian Lower Austria in the southeast. The Quaternary deposits, especially fine-grained loess and coarse-grained terraced gravels, which are so favorable for viticulture, are widespread in all major units. The forest provides the main material for the deep soil in about half of the vineyards, limestone-dolomite in various proportions. Neogene deposits in the Molasse basin and the Vienna basin support about one-third of the vineyards. In addition to locally formed marls and sandstones, conglomerates and limestone, loose rock is dominant here. The compositions range from clayey silt on sand to gravel and pebbles in all possible mixtures and can also vary significantly in terms of carbonate content. Just over 6% of the vineyards grow in soils lying on the crystalline rock of the Bohemian massif. Acidic gneiss, granite, and granodiorite prevail. Especially in the sequence of often schistose paragneisses, one encounters a frequent alternation between amphibolite beds and less common marble layers.

Riesling

Riesling

Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety that produces wine in the entire range - from botrytized sweet (one of the best in the world) to dry and semi-dry varieties, with captivating aromas of citrus and stone fruits, as well as the typical petroleum aroma, which in certain terroir appearances can dominate sensitively. Riesling's homeland can be said to be the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers in Germany - the variety likes cooler weather. Naturally, here are the main wine regions of the country (Moselle, Rheinhessen, Rheingau, Pfalz). The vineyards are located on the steep hills, making mechanisation difficult, so here the viticultural activities are mainly manual. The wines from these regions are fresh and with a pronounced acidity. However, Riesling in Germany is by no means the main variety, in fact another is the wine region in which this variety is most common - and this is Alsace in France (or Elsaß in German). Unlike the German Riesling, the French Riesling is more saturated and lush due to the specifics of the microclimate there - the Vosges Mountains provide protection from northern winds and cold, and the sun is more generous in this southern region. Outside of these countries, perhaps Austria also presents itself with an interesting reading of this often called king of white varieties, and some countries of the New World successful experiment with it as well.
