Made from 100% listan blanco that is fermented with skins for 25 days to pull great aromatic and textural complexity.

Winemaker Nicolas is Aveyron born, but brought up in Paris where he operated a well known Parisian natural wine bar before becoming a vigneron. ‘Mauvais Temps’ is his flagship wine from 50 year old fer servadou vines, planted on steep and narrow granite terraces near the village of Campouriez. Semi-carbonic maceration in wood barrels for 20 days before being transferred to old barriques for 12 months of gentle hibernation. Plums in leather chaps, fallen trees, blue crystals, butterfly wings, brick dust, bitter artichoke blossoms, camphorous nips, inky sapidity \u0026amp; roasted chicken herb blend - thyme heavy. Pour alongside slow sun-setting Wednesday evenings \u0026amp; a shy excitement for coffee the next morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Carmarans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42788935991474,"sku":"WINE-GWI-NICOLAS-CARMARANS-MAUVAIS-TEMPS","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/7396\/2930\/files\/09_03_25_006.jpg?v=1757015393"},{"product_id":"barbera","title":"Barbera","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-token-index=\"0\" class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003eBarbera, Nizza, Italy \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat serious, but friendly uncle who always has a bit of a scowl on, but lets loose when you are kicking the old football around.

Together they cultivate regional grapes in the Nizza, Monferrato region of Piedmont, which is famed for Barbera, presented here. From 20-40 year old vines grown on chalky-rich soils in the heart of Nizza. FUN FACT! This barbera is made using an old Piedmontese winemaking technique where the grape skins are not submerged into the fermentation until the latter two-thirds (or sometimes more) to create a gentler extraction, this process can last for 30-50 days on average.
