Hi! My name is Papillon. 🐴🦋
Papillon, a 930kg draught horse, is essential to the soil and health of the vineyards at Domaine Torredemer-Mangin. Using a horse to plow the field offers an alternative to chemical herbicides and compacts the soil less than a tractor.
Avoiding compacting the soil from the beginning of the life of the vineyard plot, leads to better soil structure and, consequently, healthier plants.
And If you look at a farm as an ecosystem and one living organism, these beautiful creatures certainly have their place there.

Interesting moments with Pedro Ximènez, the Spanish white grape with an Andalusian identity-most notably from the Montilla-Moriles denomination de origen (DO) in the province of Cordoba-and used traditionally for the production of PX sherry and some of the sweetest wines in the world.
As we discovered during this recent immersion into Andalusia, more and more craft and quality oriented wineries are now trending towards the elaboration of the single varietal dry style of Pedro Ximénez that is expressive of terrior, especially in the sub zones of Los Moriles Altos and Sierra de Montilla where the higher elevation and calcearous albariza soils add freshness, acidy, and minerality to the richness and intense fruit character of the grape.
And with food, two wines that we paired with the creative Andalusian dishes of the Michelin starred Choco restaurant showed plenty of gastronomic versatility. The Lagar de Salud Dulas Blanco, with its nutty and floral aromas, buttery texture, flavors of marzipan and tropical fruit was a delicious intro that complimented starters such as cecina of ibérico, salmorejo tart, and roasted rabbit-all part of the Barrio Antiguo tasting menu that brought together the childhood flavors that chef Kisko Garcia grew up with in the historic city of Cordoba. For the rest of the courses like the yellow cuttlefish stew, and pigeon breast, Bodegas Ximenium Cuatro Generaciones carried the meal the finish with great congruity. Orange blossoms, papaya, melon notes, unctuous texture, with racy acidity and plenty of persistence. With this grape, you are reminded of the character of a well made cold climate Chardonnay mixed with a Mediterranean Muscat and a splash of Gerwüztraminer.
These are exciting times for Spanish wine, with all these native varieties from diverse regions showing the class of Spain.

The Antinori family from Tuscany have been wine makers since 1385, thats 26 generations of honing the skill of winemaking into an art form.
It's an incredible affinity for a craft that has transcended wine culture, paving the way for their innovations and creativity to maximally express their passion for winemaking and its identity of terrior.
Regarded as the pioneer of the "Super Tuscan" wine, Antinori's Tignanello drastically changed the landscape for Italian wine.
Produced in 1971, Tignanello was one of the first red wines made in the Chianti area without using the traditional blend of adding white grapes, and with the cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grape varieties which was at that time illegal under the rules of the DOCG. A
masterpiece of a wine.
Their flagship winery, Antinori nel Chianti Classico (Marchese Antinori), recently won the prestigious World's Best Vineyard award for 2022. As a wine enthusiast who understands the notion of wine making-shaped and molded into an art form-it was amazing to partake in their "Cru" experience, and relish in this
art through the tastings of some of their best references:
*Castello della Sala 2020: Pinot Noir from Mediterranean climate Umbria that showed decadent, earthy, and full ripe red fruit flavours with a refined elegance and soft silky tannins. Chianti *Classico Badia Passignano Gran 2020: chalky tannins, elegant, fresh, menthol, balsamic undertones. Ripe tomatoes, cherry, plum. The cool character of the Chianti terrior showing in this hotter vintage.
*Maggiarino La Braccesca Vini Nobile de Montepulciano 2018: a rich Sangiovese, with supple tannins, earthy flavors, deep and intense. Opened up beautifully.
*Tignanello 2020: young but already showing its breed and class. This wine brings it on with bones and flesh. A profile of Mediterranean herbs, sweet spices, black fruit, ripe tannins and fresh acidity for the long haul.
Afterwards, we had a overly lunch the restaurant in the winery, Rinnucio 1180, where
