Habapian Vineyards

The Habap Family produces wine at vineyards located on Atamara in Meldeen and on the South-East Island in Ibyp.

Meldeen

Dabug presented some of his family's wine at a tournament in Foda:

Standing on a table, Dabug begins to speak, "My lords and ladies, it is an honour to be welcome in your midst, though I am but a simple wine-maker. Today, I bring you some of Meldeen's finest wine. Though now ruled by foreigners, my estate continues it's production. I have brought along several barrels for your enjoyment."
"The Pinot Grigio starts out with sweet aromatic fruits of the tropics; pineapple, guava and a touch of honeysuckle, hinting of springtime freshness, while also giving crispness on the palate with citrus and grapefruit. Yet true to the Habapian Vineyards’ style, there is a rich mouthfeel to give a full and satisfying balanced finish. I would suggest it as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings from salmon and main-course salads to Heenite or Plergothian influenced dishes."
"Our Grenache is quite simply amazing. Thick, ripe mulberries, blackberries and blueberries progress into a rich, gutsy, licorice and bitumen palate, followed by masses of powerful, youthful, gritty fruit tannins, layered with tones of flowery, cranberry and dark fruit flavors, and a youthful acidity. For this, seek out Tony Malone, and have his people grill chicken or lamb for you."
"Finally, the Pinot Noir which I brought with me is from our Reserve Selection. This one, I named after my mother, Thea, so call it's Thea's Selection. It is a blend of some of the softest, most forward and aromatic barrels of Pinot Noir in our cellar. The complex bouquet reveals black cherry, blueberry, smoke, dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of tarragon. The palate is surprisingly rich and full-bodied for a vintage with wines of such moderate alcohol. It is this richness combined with the wine's fine tannins and juicy acidity that champions its balance. This lovely balance, along with a wealth of clove, earth, cherry and black raspberry on the long finish, makes this good with just about anything. There's a fellow here by the name of Crip whose men have done amazing stuff with fresh venison. I would suggest you avoid any game of Skat with them, friendly or otherwise!"

(OOC: descriptions borrowed from a Pinot Gris from Williamette Valley, a McLaren Vale Grenache and the 2005 Lemelson Thea's Selection, which is at least as good as the notes indicate. Hopefully, I can get away with labelling Meldeen as similar to both Oregon and Australia....)
