Waarom geldt Lux Vitis 2020 als een van de meest bijzondere rode wijnen uit Toscane?

Tenuta Luce Lux Vitis 2020 Toscana IGT

Lux Vitis 2020 is de meest ambitieuze Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) / Sangiovese (10%) blend van Tenuta Luce, geboren in de heuvels rond Montalcino waar het domein tot de hoogste wijngaarden van de streek behoort. De wijn komt van oudere Cabernet stokken op een apart deel van het landgoed en wordt in zeer beperkte hoeveelheid gemaakt. Waarom geldt Lux Vitis 2020 als een van de meest bijzondere rode wijnen uit Toscane? Omdat het een vrijwel pure Cabernet is met een klein deel Sangiovese, 24 maanden gerijpt op nieuw Frans eiken en gemaakt om pas na jaren flesrijping zijn volledige diepte te tonen.

Wijngaarden en regio

Tenuta Luce ligt bij Montalcino in Toscane, op heuvels die tussen 350 en 420 meter boven zeeniveau liggen. De wijngaarden profiteren van veel zon, frisse nachten en goed drainerende bodems met onder meer klei en gesteente, wat zorgt voor krachtige maar verfijnde druiven. Voor Lux Vitis worden de Cabernet Sauvignon druiven geselecteerd uit wijngaarden met stokken die inmiddels ruim 12 jaar oud zijn, aangevuld met een kleine hoeveelheid Sangiovese van hetzelfde landgoed. De combinatie van hoogte, zuidelijke expositie en arme bodems geeft druiven met veel concentratie, rijpe tannine en een opvallende frisheid, precies het profiel dat je terugziet in deze Toscaanse IGT.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst vindt volledig met de hand plaats, waarbij de druiven eerst in de wijngaard en daarna nogmaals in de kelder streng worden geselecteerd. De gisting verloopt in betonnen cuves bij gecontroleerde temperatuur, met een schilinweking van ongeveer 20 dagen om kleur, aroma en structuur zorgvuldig te extraheren. Na de alcoholische gisting volgt de malolactische omzetting in barriques, waardoor de zuren zachter worden en het mondgevoel romiger wordt. Vervolgens rijpt Lux Vitis 2020 24 maanden in Frans eiken barriques die volledig nieuw zijn, wat de wijn zijn kenmerkende signatuur van puur fruit, donkere kruiden en precies gedoseerde houttonen geeft. Na de assemblage krijgt de wijn nog flesrijping voordat hij vrijgegeven wordt, zodat de concentratie beter in balans komt met de elegantie die Tenuta Luce nastreeft.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – Tenuta Luce, Montalcino
90% van de blend is Cabernet Sauvignon uit hoger gelegen percelen, goed voor de kern van zwart fruit, concentratie en krachtige maar rijpe tannine.

Sangiovese – Tenuta Luce, Montalcino
10% Sangiovese rondt de blend af met extra frisheid, spanning en een subtiele kruidige toets die Lux Vitis een herkenbaar Toscaanse signatuur geeft.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont Lux Vitis 2020 een diepe, intens robijnrode kleur. De neus is complex, met lagen van rijpe rode en zwarte vruchten, gevolgd door specerijen, cacao, lichte toast en een vleugje geroosterde tonen uit het nieuwe eiken. De smaak is vol en krachtig, maar tegelijkertijd opvallend in balans, met een perfecte verhouding tussen alcohol, zuren, structuur en een verfijnde tanninetextuur. De afdronk is zeer lang en aromatisch, waarin fruit, kruiden en hout langzaam wegvloeien. Serveer deze wijn bij voorkeur rond 18–20 °C en schenk hem ruim op tijd in een karaf, zeker in zijn jeugd. Aan tafel komt Lux Vitis 2020 prachtig tot zijn recht bij gegrild of gebraden rood vlees, lamsgerechten, wild en langzaam gegaarde stoofschotels, maar ook bij oude harde kazen past zijn geconcentreerde, elegante stijl uitstekend. Met een bewaarpotentieel van zeker 10 tot 15 jaar is dit een wijn die zich in een goede kelder nog lange tijd zal blijven ontwikkelen.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Arthurian Fae Quest…say less.
Format: Kindle
A fae centered Arthurian tale unlike any I’ve read so far. The author did a great job at descriptive world building, with scenes easily playing out in my minds eye. There was plenty of action, suspense, and even a touch of horror. An enemies to lovers, slow burn romance, a quest, with plot twist and turns aplenty. There was a love triangle, which I’m not usually a fan of but, it played out well in this story line. The FMC, Morgan Pendragon, was so blatantly naïve, yet I typically expect as much in a ‘book one’ of a series, especially one that features a fairly sheltered princess. I was happy to read that in spite of this, she still showed a strong sense of morals, fire, and spine. Now our MMC? Kairos Draven, aka Void’s Edge. Oh, how I’m a sucker for a smoking’ hot grumpy warrior alpha with a witty mouth, and a strong sense of “touch her and die” attitude, so you know who held all my cards. That ending? Just made me swoon all the harder. Now add a battlecat that rivals the size of a horse…and well Ms. Briar Boleyn you have well and truly stolen my heart. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here, and follow along to see more of the characters growth. I went into this story fairly blind, and I think I enjoyed it all the more because of it. Once the story got going, it had me in an absolute chokehold and it was difficult to put down.
