Aragon’s Tasting 1 Dec

Aragon Wine Market, owner Charlotte and Wine Expert Pepper, have created a wine shop with an atmosphere that really is amazing. Great people who will guide you to the right bottle of wine for you, not what a distributor is pushing. That truly is rare.I also very rarely write about more than one wine from a tasting that only has six or less wines to taste; unless we encounter something unique and special, to which our fellow tasters must also agree. So tonight we had two Wines of Note. Jasmine Monet, an Organic Blanc de Blancs from Argentina! And Moric Hausmarke Super Natural from Austria. What?!?Jasmine Monet is a 100% Chardonnay Sparkling wine. Everything agreed that it had just the right amount of bubbles which allowed for light green apple and soft pear, gentle minerality, and then finishing with those bubbles. And it is Certified Organic, from Argentina! This bottle will be part of my New Year. Moric with their, translated, Super Natural House blend, combines 80% Gruner Veltliner and 20% Chardonnay. Finished on oak, this SUPER complex white wine hits the mouth with a crisp tornado of stone fruit, mountain flowers, woody spice, acid and that quintessential petrol mouth feel. Super unique, and excellent with roast chicken or some very good fried rice. Looking for the right bottle of wine? Go local and ask an expert.
