Wine Of The Week - 2018 Montepulciano

 

March heralds the start of spring, leaving winter in the past, but not quite yet basking in the summer heat. What wine to drink at this time of the year? Not a heavy red, which warms cold, snowy days, but still not quite a crisp white to savor on summer evenings….

Montepulciano… few grape varietals evoke the romance of Italian wines, or inspire one to create a rich, poetic meal to share with friends and family. Well, feel free to tap your inner chef, we’ve got you covered on the wine!
 
2018 Montepulciano

With a deceptively light hue, this Montepulciano is sure to surprise you!

$42.00
 

Grown in southern New Mexico, Montepulciano is a harmonious balance of modern winemaking techniques with an overarching Old World theme. While many associate the name “Montepulciano” with a certain region in Italy and the wines that are produced there, Noisy Water has taken the namesake varietal and created a wine with a medium body (so as not to overwhelm the food with which it is served) and an explosive bouquet of sweet cherries, tobacco, and rich plum. Soft tannins and complex acidic notes make this wine as easy to drink on its own as with a meal.


Pair it with an Italian seafood dinner swimming in a rich tomato sauce or serve it with a lighter, grilled meal in the warmer months. It’s an excellent dry red for summer, not to heavy on tannins and with a bright, almost cranberry finish. Whenever you decide to open a bottle of Noisy Water’s Montepulciano, I guarantee it will make the moment memorable!
 

 

“In March, winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.”
— Jean Hersey

Wine Geek Wednesday

 
 

Great wine is made at the vineyard. The Forbidden Desert Vineyard, our vineyard in Engle is one of the oldest in New Mexico, and the vines on the land are considered "old vines." This means that these vines have adapted to a changing environment for many years, which has made them durable and reliable every season. The lifecycle of a grapevine is something we get to witness every year, and it never gets old.

 

Winter

 

During this time of year, the vines are dormant. The vines utilize this time to hunker down for the cold months and they even have a built-in coping mechanism to survive the winter. The sugars that exist in the roots of the vines act as a natural antifreeze to the plant and ensures a healthy come-back in the Spring. One of the most crucial things we do at the end of Winter is prune the vines. This helps protect against over and underproduction of grape growth.

Spring

 

In early Spring, the vines start showing signs of life as they wake up from their Winter nap. Sap rises and bud begins to break! The buds are very delicate during this time, so we have to watch out for late freezes and hail storms. The shoots begin to grow upwards and the plant starts flowering. These flowers are self-pollinating-so they don't actually need bees!

 

 

Early Summer

 

The wood of the grapevine continues to ripen, turning brown and hardening. While the wood grows, and sugar levels rise, little clusters of grapes begin to appear!  These clusters will soon become berry bunches, as they keep stretching out towards the warm sun.

 

 

Late Summer

 

The green berries start to change color and ripen! This is the most beautiful time of the year in the vineyard, as you can see a rainbow of green, yellow, pink and purple scattered throughout the leaves. We wait for them to reach the perfect ripeness, then work round the clock to pick the grapes in time. Fall finally comes to a close and the plant drops its leaves and prepares to go into its dormant phase in the Winter once again.

 

 

 
 

Each season affects that year's vintage, so every wine is different, every year! Check out some of our favorite vintages from the last few years:

March Newsletter

 
 

Happy March you wine lovers! The first month of Spring is here and the Earth is waking up from its long Winter nap. The month of March reminds us that new beginnings are in store, and soon we will witness the organic things around us bloom into life. This is also a great time of year to re-center and re-focus yourself while enjoying the warm sunshine. This month is all about fresh starts and new life, and we are right on time because the grapevines are about to bud after staying dormant all winter! 

 

This month's newsletter gives you a sneak peek into what happens behind the scenes at Noisy, and is packed full of information about featured products, events and what's to come! 
 

The Season Of Bud Break 

March is the month when we typically see the vines bloom into life! As the season of Spring creeps in, the weather gradually gets warmer and the Earth starts to thaw, creating perfect conditions for little baby buds to begin the early stages of a grape's life.

 

While we are so excited to witness the miracle that Mother Nature orchestrates, this time of year is also prone to late freezes that could alter the course of our bud break. So while we are anticipating the buds to break any day now, we also have to stay on our toes and be prepared to nurse those vulnerable vines if need be!
 

Preparing the vineyard for new life is like preparing your home to bring home a newborn baby! Throughout the Winter we have improved our irrigation systems, ran soil tests, tuned up our farming equipment, and are currently pruning the vines to welcome the new buds back home. Doing these things helps us have a fresh start for the growing season and also encourages the buds to grow big and strong for a healthy harvest later in the year.

Team Favorites

 
 

 Featuring Jozie And Her Favorite Wine 
 
 

Today we are shining the spotlight on Jozie, who is our Venue & Event Director at the Enchanted Vine Barn. Jozie loves living in her little mountain town and frequently jogs and hikes with her fur baby Monjeau (everyone's favorite host at EV 😉). Jozie's favorite wine is Aglianico for its full body, bright taste on the palate and that hint of chocolate you get at the end! The first time she tried it she was hooked, and now regular enjoys it while sitting by the fire or cozied up on the couch. 
 
 

PAIRING AGLIANCO

Jozie enjoys pairing a glass of Aglianco with a juicy steak or even just some dark chocolate. Aglianico has a rich Southern Italy heritage, and is one of the oldest grapes dating back to thousands of years ago. 
 
2018 Aglianico

A rich, 'big' wine, driven by the dark fruits, bold plum and robust cherry notes, explosive tannins and high acidity, leading to a surprisingly balanced finish with ever-so-subtle overtones of dark chocolate
  $42.00
 

WINES THAT JOZIE RECOMMENDS:
2019 Pinot Noir Rosé

$27.00
 
2019 Old Vine Wild Ferment Pinot Noir

$42.00
 
2018 Vidal Blanc

$27.00


Cheers!

Sweet and spicy is our new favorite flavor combination, and there is a reason behind why these contrasting elements are so enjoyable together.
 

So, What's The Reason?

Pairing flavors that taste opposite to one another improves your tasting experience and that while the flavors are different, they actually bring out the best in each other and highlight the most enjoyable and satisfying thing about each flavor (aww)! The different compounds of different flavors creates a balanced and pleasing "mouthfeel," which refers to the way foods feel in the mouth.
 

LOVE ON FIRE

 

Our wine of the month, Amor En Fuego captures this unexpected perfect flavor duo as it is both sweet and has a little bit of a chile kick at the end.

 

If the month of February could be a wine, Amor En Fuego would be it because it emulates all the flavors you taste during the month of love.

 

This sweet red wine has an inviting aroma of red berries intertwined with marshmallows and automatically make you think of chocolate covered strawberries. Milk chocolate, cinnamon, and vanilla continue on the palate creating a s’more like taste that then finishes with a slight Red Chile spice that you didn't know you needed.
 

Amor En Fuego also pairs well with spicy foods, so break out that charcuterie board and crank up the heat with some of our favorite snacks to pair

Music & White Wine

 
 
 

Wednesday we sent you our red wine playlist, now check out our white wine playlist, blanco sips. 
 

A Customized Playlist For White Wine Drinkers

 

We thought the concept of music influencing the taste of wine was so interesting we made a custom Spotify playlist for white wine drinkers. 
 

Move your mind to new frames of reference. pair a sound, melody or tune and be reminded of a specific place, event or period of life. Music can heavily influence how you experience wine, mellow music makes wine taste more subtle, whereas lively music makes wine taste more dynamic.
 

Inspiration Behind The Playlist:

 

To pair music with wine, the best way is to first find commonalities in both the wine and the music. A lot of white wines have fruity, tangy, clean and crisp elements so we curated a playlist that reflected that as well. Expect to listen to songs that are lively, youthful, fresh and bubbly. 

How To Access The Playlist:

 

 Anyone can access the playlist, even if you don't have Spotify! Simply search for the playlist named "blanco sips" by Hannah Perry and save the playlist to your library for when you want to experience the power of music while drinking wine. 

 

Or click on the playlist here, and it will take you straight to it!

 

 

 

Disclaimer:

This playlist will put you in a good mood, and you might start dancing suddenly, who knows.

Music Influences The Taste Of Wine.

 

Drinking wine involves all of the senses. You assess the color of the wine, then you analyze the aromas that swirl around in the glass, then you determine how the taste and texture of the wine blends in your mouth. But did you ever think you could listen to the wine? It turns out, you can! Especially if your wine is paired with music. 
 

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT

 

Music can move the mind to new frames of reference. This means that a single sound, melody or tune can remind us of a specific place, event or period of life. In the same token, music can heavily influence how we experience wine. Mellow music makes wine taste more subtle, whereas lively music makes wine taste more dynamic.
 

A Customized Playlist For Red Wine Drinkers

 

We thought the concept of music influencing the taste of wine was so interesting we made a custom Spotify playlist for red wine drinkers. 

Inspiration Behind The Playlist:

 

To pair music with wine, the best way is to first find commonalities in both the wine and the music. A lot of red wines have jammy, dark fruit, velvety and rich elements so we curated a playlist that reflected that as well. Expect to listen to songs from every decade that are powerful, robust, and moody.

How To Access The Playlist:

 

 Anyone can access the playlist, even if you don't have Spotify! Simply search for the playlist named "rojo sips" by Hannah Perry and save the playlist to your library for when you want to experience the power of music while drinking wine. 

 

Or click on the playlist here, and it will take you straight to it!

 

 

 

Disclaimer:

This playlist will give you all the feels, and you might find yourself getting lost in the nostalgic romance of the ear-tingling electric guitar riffs.

Wine Of The Week - 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir

 

Well… what more needs to be said? One only has to look at the faces of the people who sample Noisy Water’s 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir to know that it’s love at first sip!

Just a few months ago (August, to be exact) we were extolling the virtues of our 2017 Reserve Pinot Noir. In that time, we sold out in time for the release of our 2019 vintage and this one is especially special for us: 30-year-old vines from our own Forbidden Desert vineyard in Engle produced the grapes that make this wine, thanks to the loving care of “Uncle Dick”, the “grape whisperer.”

Proud to have accomplished the nearly impossible in New Mexico: Producing amazing Pinot Noir in one of the USA's toughest growing regions for this grape
$35.00

Aged for thirteen months in toasted 100% French oak barrels, our winemaker has coaxed a fuller bodied, jammy wine with explosive cherries and dark fruit with a bold and rustic tannic finish with nuances of vanilla. Perfect for sipping around a cozy fire on a winter night, it offers promise of warm summer evenings to come and delicious lighter meals to pair with its provocative fruitiness. It’s almost TOO easy to enjoy.

 

Warm up with a bottle of our 2019 Reserve Pinot Noir and make memories to savor

 

“I would so marry Pinot. You can enjoy it at the opera, or the baseball game. It glistens in any crystal goblet but dazzles in a jelly jar. It’s exactly the kind of wine you’d bring home to mom and then sneak into your room after dinner. Before you blinked, you’d both be on the front porch (you on the swing, it in your glass) waiting for your grandkids to show up.”
— Jeff Bundschu, Gundlach Bundschu Winery
