Wine Buy The Case Alpha Zeta Alpha Zeta

Alpha Zeta, started in 1999 in association with leading New Zealand winemaker, Matt Thomson, set out to produce a range of modern, fruit driven wines from the hills outside Verona. The aim was to work with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt's expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. The result is a realisation of the potential inherent in Veronese viniculture.

	Alpha Zeta 'S' Soave 2005 12x75cl The wine has good green-gold colour and a ripe, perfumed nose with hints of lime and almonds. It is fragrant on the nose and long on the finish, with good weight and richness on the palate. Price: £60.64 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)

	Alpha Zeta 'C' Chardonnay 2005 6x75cl The wine has good colour and a ripe nose that mingles flavours of melons and nectarines with a toasty, biscuity character. It has good weight and richness on the palate, with a lovely purity of flavour, nice balance of oak and very good length. It proves what can be achieved in Verona if yields are contained and the fruit is allowed to achieve full ripeness. Vinification The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed, crushed and pumped to the press with no sulphur addition. The juice was chilled immediately and naturally settled. Cultured yeasts were added to initiate fermentation which took place at 12-14°C. Half the wine was fermented in oak, while one third of the blend was put through malolactic fermentation in order to add complexity. Further complexity was derived from ageing on lees for six months.
