Let’s talk wine! If you’ve never had wines from New Mexico, you’re missing out! I talk a lot about how this region is similar to Provence; likewise, the dry soil, hot summers & harsh winters are perfect for growing exceptional grapes. NM produces some of the very best wines in the US (sorry, Napa!) I could write for years on the wine of this region but for now let’s talk about 6 from @gruetwinery (in order of the photos). * 1. 2018 Pinot Meunier - this is the world premier of this wine and, watch out world, because it is brilliant!! Typically used in Champagne, the grapes are grown on the Santa Ana Pueblo near where we’re staying. It’s fresh, crisp, perfectly balanced with hints of nectarine & watermelon. Of the Gruet stills, this is my fave! 2. Sausage Rosé - 100% Pinot Noir, this zéro dosage rosé is vibrant and poppy (as in, it pops, not the flower), with notes of summer berries and stone fruit. 3. & 4. Blanc de Noirs and Extended Tirage Blanc de Noirs - same composition - 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay - the only difference is that the first is aged 24 months while the second is aged for a min. of 42, which you can see in the rich colour and taste in the depth of flavour. Notes of brioche on the nose and crisp apples and citrus on the palate. 5. 2012 Blanc de Blancs - 100% Chardonnay with a beautiful nutty bouquet and hints of autumn apples and fresh grapefruit. Absolutely beautiful wine. 6. Gilbert Gruet Grande Reserve 2014 - the is the pièce de résistance of the wines we tasted. 100% Chardonnay - it spends its first year in French oak and the next 3 years en triage. With the most delicate bubbles, it’s complex and rounded and features a hint of brie and toasted almonds on the nose and notes of apricot and fresh citrus on the palate. This wine is only available to members and will absolutely be in my next case. 😉 * Gruet Winery has a fascinating history originating from Gruet’s champagne house in Bethon, France.

42°C/107°F today in Albuquerque, and bone-dry. The grapes loved it. The rest of us? 🥵 It was the perfect day to spend inside, in the tasting room at @gruetwinery , learning about one of my favourite American bubblies. 🥂 #vinyard #gruet #winetasting #gruetwinery #newmexicowine #newmexico #summerholiday #champagne #vinblanc

A glass of Rosé, pool hair and donkeys - what more could a girl want??! 😍 Santa Fe is where I find my centre and recharge my batteries. There’s a creative energy here that resounds from the earth like an eternal heartbeat. This is where my soul lives and breathes. This is where I feel alive. 🌿#countrygirlatheart #farmlife #newmexico #landofenchantment #creativityfound #myhappyplace #thehappynow #momentsofmine
