Do not forget the extremely rare Colares wine in Portugal. Extremely rare because only a very few bottles are produced. But it is also an extreme wine because it comes from vyneards from Vitis Vinifera planted on sandy soil at the Northwest of Europe very close to the Atlantic. Vyneards that are conducted very close to the soil to be protected from sea winds and to profit from the heat of the sand to mature well since this microregion is very foggy that otherwise do not have enough sunshine for a proprer maturation.
It have also a local Malsey that give a superb white wine and the local Ramisco that give an interesting wine after sufficient aging to smooth the tanins.
Manuel

I’m wondering if you have thought about our italian extreme wines grown on steapy dangerous hills on the cliffs in the Cinqueterre area (Liguria region), where the only way to grow them is with using funicular; or the Nebbiolo grown on the rocky terrace on the foot of the mountains of Valtellina and Valle d’Aosta regions.Thanks!

The high elevation,hot days and cool nights work wonders with Merlot and Tempranillo. And we are still considered the frontier of Northwest wine according to pundits in Walla Walla and down at UC Davis! Tourism opportunities and good wine – Decent combination.

Don’t forget the sparkling reds and sparkling marsanne from Australia!

A familiar hobby horse perhaps, but no doubt many passionate winos started out over bottles of 2 buck chuck in UCB dorm rooms. Definitely the extreme end of the business end. Definitely grape-a-hol.
