Restricted Quantities

2021 Program & Wines

The year 2021 marks Restricted Quantities 21st program, featuring an entirely European line-up of varietals. The number 21 and the Europe-focus led us to the concept of tarot.

• From the mid-15th century in many parts of Europe, tarot cards were used to play various card games

• In the late 18th century, some tarot packs began to be used as a trend for divination (fortune-telling) via tarot card reading

What is Tarot?

Inspiration for theme

• The number 21 (since 2021 is the 21st anniversary of the Restricted Quantities program and the “major arcana” tarot card pack has 21 trump cards)

• European wine focus (because of tarot’s European roots).

Restricted Quantities is proud

Appendix

Why? Spain Tempranillo Merlot• A red blend that has proved popular in northern Spain, particularly Navarra,

and in various parts of the New World.

• Tempranillo's thick skins can sometimes lead to wines with tough tannins.

Blending it with Merlot is ideal as the latter can smooth out these rough edges,

making a more approachable wine.

• Tempranillo merlot wines are generally rich and concentrated with berry fruit

flavours.

• Tempranillo

• Has been adopted across the winegrowing world, but is still very much

associated with the fine wines of Spain and Portugal.

• Strawberries, tobacco and spice flavours can be found in many

Tempranillo wines.

• Merlot

• Merlot has spread far and wide from its homeland in Bordeaux, and is

found in many top wine regions around the world.

• Merlot commonly exhibits cherry or caramel flavours but is perhaps

more often recognized for its silky texture rather than for any one flavour.

This makes it ideal for blending as it can smooth out more-tannic

varieties.

Why? Spain Muscat

• Spain is the fastest growing old world country - growth rate 2.3%

• The Muscat grape is thought to be the world’s oldest known grape

variety.

• The grape is characterized by an intensely aromatic bouquet and a

musky, fruity (mandarin orange, apricot, peach), honeyed flavour.

• At present, Muscat wines are not mainstream wines but their presence

is felt in every country in which wine is produced.

Why? Italy Nero d’Avola

• If you love full-bodied dry reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or

Syrah then Nero d’Avola (“nair-oh davo-la”) is your buddy.

• This lesser-known Sicilian grape variety deserves more

recognition as a wine to be taken seriously.

• Nero d’Avola is known for its superbly bold fruit-driven

flavours that range from black cherry to prune.

• Nero d’Avola is one of the full-bodied wines of the world in the

same boldness as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, and Syrah.

• With Nero d’Avola you can expect moderately high acidity,

but not so tart that the wine tastes overly spicy.

Why? France Rosé

• Pink wine happily spans the colourspace between red and

white wine, in a way, rosé is more like a state of mind.

• Rosé happens when the skins of red grapes touch wine for

only a short time. Where some red wines ferment for weeks

at a time on red grape skins, rosé wines are stained red for

just a few hours.

• The epicenter of the Rosé wine world is in the South of

France. There, along the Mediterranean, regional varieties

like Grenache, Carignan and Syrah are blended together

to make refreshingly dry Rosé.

• The primary flavours of rosé wine are red fruit, flowers,

citrus, and melon, with a pleasant crunchy green flavour on

the finish similar to celery or rhubarb.

grapes utilized in the production of premium white wines.

Chenin Blanc, Colombard and Semillon, the QA23 produces

Yeasts in RQ2020 Kits

French Oak

Wine is aged together with wood to enhance

the flavour, aroma and complexity of the wine

through the extraction of the substances from

the wood into the wine.

When compared to American oak, French oak

imparts more subtle flavours and firmer, but

silkier tannins which is ideal for lighter wines.

French oak contributes flavours such as cigar

box, cinnamon, and coffee.

American Oak

American oak is used by many winemakers for

the aromatic sweetness it contributes to the

wine.

On the palate, American oak provides a tannin

structure that accentuates the fruit on the mid

palate. While on the nose, it will contribute

aromas of vanilla, coconut, dill and mocha.

Dried Grape Skins

The GenuWine Winery Dried Grape Skins included in our

three red wine kits are made through a patented process of

gently drying crushed whole grape skins to retain original

colour and nutritional integrity. The skins are processed to

maximize colour and flavour extractions so that all their

goodness can be extracted in a five or six day fermentation

period.

Grape skins will add smooth tannins, robust colour, and rich

aromas to your red wines, making them more complex and

fuller-bodied. These bigger, bolder red wines will drink well

while young, but the goodness from the skins will also

continue to enhance the flavour of the wine when aged.

Premium Labels

designed labels that are likened to labels found in commercial wines.
