Each year we strive to bring you the finest and rarest one of a kind aged tequila. This year we are proud to announce the release of QUI RARE 2009 FOUNDERS’ RESERVE. QUI RARE is the crown jewel in the House of QUI. We set out to create a unique release each year so that we never use any additives in our product.. This year’s release, the QUI Rare 2009 Founders' Reserve is a one of a kind extra añejo with notes of cherry, caramel, black pepper and hazelnut. This 12 year old extra añejo has been made from a blend of extra añejo tequilas that had been aged in hand-selected Tennessee Whiskey barrels for a delightful flavor, character and aroma. After blending, this liquid was finished in tanks to rest, maximizing bouquet and aroma. The highlands agave used for this blend were harvested in 2009, hence the name QUI Rare 2009 Founders' Reserve.

A symbol of history and the future. The Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal anniversary edition has a festive neck collar and is presented in a celebration gift box embellished with gold javelins in a Centaur constellation. Born from the cask, 1738 undergoes a long barrel toasting to give an extraordinary smooth, distinctively oaky cognac.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma
Opens with an intricate medley of fruits including nectarines, ripe melon, green apple, and apricot. A solid foundation of pot still spices, showcasing notes of freshly peeled ginger and crushed peppercorns, work in tandem with the aged grain’s perfumed notes of dried flowers and delectable golden syrup. The oak continues to reveal itself, adding notes of vanilla, combined with a honeycomb sweetness and freshly roasted coffee beans.

Taste
Luscious at first with succulent fruits and a distinctive creaminess along with a herbal quality akin to camomile tea. The pot still spices add depth and intrigue as they weave amongst the floral grain qualities found lingering throughout. The charred oak’s influence continues to build over time creating additional complexity as the wood-derived spices complement the ever-present fruits of candied orange and dried apricot.

Finish
The fruits and pot still spices build to a crescendo before giving way, leaving the final say to the oak tannins and antique grain whiskey.

Maker Notes

KORBEL Brut Rosé is delicate and crisp, featuring bright flavors of strawberry, cherry and melon. Its medium-dry, slightly sweet style makes it one of the most versatile, food-friendly varietals.

ENJOY WITH: Grilled shrimp, pizza, smoked meats, beets, blue cheese

COMPOSITION: Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Gamay, Zinfandel, and Chenin Blanc

WINEMAKING
We use Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Gamay lots that have a noticeable pink hue and generous strawberry and black-cherry-like flavors for our Brut Rosé. The goal is to consistently produce a rosé that is flavorful, bright and aromatic. One interesting aspect of making a rosé using the classic méthode champenoise process is the color balance. The yeast used in the bottle fermentation process removes some of the color from the California champagne, and the amount of color loss is unpredictable. To correct for this, we use a small amount of young red wine in the sweetening dosage to add a note of complexity and adjust the color back to a nice pink hue.
