Affordable Luxury from the Pfalz: Müller-Catoir 11-9-25



Müller-Catoir Winery in the Pfalz
 
I remember the first time I drank of a bottle of Müller-Catoir Scheurebe and said to myself, “Wow, I didn’t know know this grape could achieve such heights”. I’ve since had at least 3 separate experiences with wines from Müller-Catoir, and I remain dumbfounded at the quality and complexity they’re able to conjure from every varietal they harvest. This is truly a winery which continues to deliver moments of wonder every time I hold a new bottle. Fortunately, we’ve got quite a diverse selection here at Vinopolis to explore.

Based in the Pfalz village of Haardt, at the edge of the Palatinate Forest, the winery has been a benchmark for the region for nearly 250 years.

Nikolaihof
 
Nikolaihof is a giant of Austrian wine—a producer whose history and quality are unrivaled even in a country full of esteemed producers. As Austria’s oldest operating winery, that history dates back to Roman times. Records first note winemaking occurring at the estate in 470, and the Saahs family has run the property for well over a century.
 
Much like how estates operated in previous centuries, Nikolaihof is farmed under polyculture, producing everything from honey to cut flowers in addition to wine. It was the first winery in the world to fully convert to farming biodynamically, having done so in the 1970s, a surprisingly easy task as no modern farming chemicals have touched the estate’s vines.

“The 2008 Champagnes that have been released so far capture all the potential I sensed when I first tasted the young vins clairs right after harvest. The 2008s are racy, energetic and tense, in the style of cool years like 1996, but with more fruit depth and less austerity. At the top end, the finest 2008 Champagnes are viscerally thrilling, chiseled wines that will soon be recognized as modern-day icons.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Tempier Sale


 
Bold, Rich Wines You’ll Love
 
Stock Up & Save On:
 
Domaine Tempier
 
Domaine Tempier is the most famous producer in the region, best known for its mineral-driven and cellar-friendly rosé. The reds, though, are criminally underrated and underappreciated, especially to lovers of bold, full-throttle wines. They represent the pinnacle of Mourvèdre-based blends that could convince even the most die-hard Rhone or Cali Cab lovers to expand their horizons, if only one could manage to convince them to try. That might be the hardest part, but we’re greasing the wheel by placing these wines on our three-day sale, starting now.
 
If you aren’t familiar with the Tempier reds (or Bandol in general) know that these are big and rich with a distinct earthiness and a spicy, bright finish.

Sicilian Wines
 
Italy’s Sicily seems to have it all for wine: fun and fruity Frappato, serious and volcanic-influenced Nerellos from the slopes of Mount Etna, iconic dessert wines, and just about everything in between. With the recent, island-wide push for quality all across the price spectrum, there has never been a better time to explore these wines.
 
For lovers of volcanic-influenced wines, Sicily’s Mount Etna is a cherished place. Home to the Burgundy-esque varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante, these are gorgeous, terroir-driven wines. The two grapes offer layers of spice and high acidity, partly due to being grown on the highest vineyards in all of Europe.
