Tapsan e-Tasting is here!
Are you thinking of something to do in the holidays? How would it sound to jump on a virtual wine tour with your friends, led by wine producers?
The plot is simple:
1. Order these wines at the nearest Alkoosi no later than 15.12
2. Gather your friends together
3. Pour the wines into the glasses
4. Play the videos in the order below and let the wine producers show you what's in your glass
We recommend using 1-4 wine glasses at a time, depending on the glass selection, so that it is easy to compare the wines with each other. If you wish, you can decant the wines so that the flavors and aromas open up better.
Château Puygueraud Rouge 2014
Bordeaux (pronounced Bordoo ) is known for its quality red wines and legendary producers such as Château Lafite, Latour or Margaux. In fact, Bordeaux is France's largest quality wine producing region (AOP Appellation d'Origin Protegée) and Bordeaux has something for everyone.
The Thienpont family belongs to the wine families of Bordeaux and their ownership includes, for example, Le Pin and Vieux Château Certan, whose wines can cost thousands of euros. Château Puygueraud is the Thienpontie estate in the Côtes du Francs region and this very real castle has also served as a family home.

Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2017
Rioja's reds have achieved classic status, because in these wines long maturation even before hitting the market is an essential part of winemaking and labeling. The purpose of aging is to soften the tannins and bring multidimensionality to the wine.
Rioja's main variety in red wines is Tempranillo, which produces strawberry and plum aromas, and the wines are aged in American oak barrels, which bring sweet vanilla and coconut aromas to the wine.
Marqués de Murrieta is one of Rioja's top producers, and the estate has been chosen as the world's best winery, and María Vargas, who pilots the house's winemaking, as the world's best winemaker.

Torbreck Woodcutter's Shiraz 2020
In wine circles, Australia is often considered one of the wine countries of the New World, but the Barossa Valley probably has the world's oldest vines, because even though the country's wine culture is "only" a little over a hundred years old, the vine aphid destroyed all European vineyards at the end of the 19th century.
Torbreck, who specializes in the classics of the wine world and specializes in old vines, is an exemplary master of this style.
