New to Vivác Tasting Room, sweet wines, sparkling wines & wines under $10! We are proud to offer the styles of wine you may be looking for that we at Vivác do not produce. We have hand selected the best of these styles that our respected wine maker friends make in New Mexico. They are:
GRUET WINERY:
"United States Wine Producer of the Year" by The International Wine & Sprits Competition for 2010, the Gruet family has helped our Vivác Winery wine-makers with invaluable advice as we started our own winery & we continue to call them friends today. Gruet Winery makes some of the best sparklers in the world. They stem from "Gruet et Fils" Champagne house in France & all of their sparklers are Methode Champenoise.
BRUT: notes of buttered popcorn & green apple, this wine has great acidity & fine mousse. Serve chilled.
ROSE: notes of Strawberry & toasted almonds, this wine has round acidity & fine mousse. Serve chilled.
RED HOT MAMA WINES
Created by Vivác's team of certified Sommeliers & designed in a 1950's Rock-a-Billy style who's art is by the famous Nelson Rhodes (Disney animator & inventor of the 'Tasmanian Devil'), Red Hot Mama Wines are fun, flirty & a bit risqué but always a great value! These wines are not made by Vivác, but the blend is produced & marketed by the owners.
RED HOT MAMA: If you are looking for a great wine with lots of "character and Sass", this wine shows full fruit, round acidity & light tannin. This Cabernet Sauvignon heavy blend is great with Pizza & BBQ
BUXOM BLONDE: A Sauvignon Blanc blend showing mellon flavors, nice acidity & fruity over tones, fun & flirty with full figured fruit & easy to drink! Serve Chilled. Great with Cheeses & lighter meats.
LUNA ROSSA
Paolo D'Andrea is a 4th generation wine-maker from Friuli, Italy with a degree in Viticulture. Paolo has worked the vineyards of Deming's "NM Vineyards Inc" since 1986 selling us our grapes, working closely with us to find interesting varietals to work with & picking at our specified levels of acid & sugar, this is a relationship that is very important & personal. Luna Rossa is his personal winery.
GEWURZTRAMINER: notes of honey & blossoms, this semi-sweet wine has round palate & low acid.
PRIMO DULCE: This red blend has notes of dark ripe fruit & floral hints. A semi-sweet wine with round acidity & light tannins.
