Below please find testimonials from US Wineglobe clients and see which producers have incorporated them in a cellar near you!
Producer: Guillaume Fabre (Owner / Winemaker) - Clos Solène & Benom Wines - Paso Robles, CA, USA.
Varietals: Rhône whites and reds.
French born, Guillaume utilizes Wineglobes for fermenting small amounts of Paso Robles Rhône "Hommage Blanc" and aging a portion of of his Châteaneuf-du-Pape Grenache based "Harmonie". "Because the globe doesn't allow any oxygen to reach the wine, it keeps a fresher fruit profile. It's like taking a fresh fruit you've just cut and keeping it just as fresh smelling and tasting for 12 months".
Producer: Veronique Boss - Drouhin (Owner/Winemaker) - Domaine Drouhin Oregon, Willamette Valley, OR, USA
Varietals: Chardonnay.
Veronique is working on a single Wineglobe batch and considering bottling it on its own. After keeping it in the globe much longer than she would have in barrel or tank and stirring the lees more than usual, she is impressed with the results. "There is a unique character to what's in the globe, almost exotic," she says, adding a single word for emphasis: "Gorgeous."
Producer: Natalie Bath (Winemaker) - Rudd Estate Napa Valley, CA, USA.
Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
"Trying out the Wineglobe was a natural progression in evolving the tools we have the option of using during the winemaking process," she says. The Wineglobes' neutral nature allows her to focus on fruit tannin (derived from skins and seeds) rather than oak tannin, which enables her to better evaluate growing and harvesting decisions.
Producer: Sam Dhiman (Assistant winemaker) - Heitz Cellars Napa Valley, CA, USA.
Varietals: Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Dhiman uses the 220L Wineglobe as a tool to increase complexity. "For our white wines, it brings an intense freshness and purity of fruit that complements oak-aged portions. Our white wines aged in oak tend to show more roundness and aromatic complexity. In globes these wines tend to show brighter fruit and a distinct lees impact."
