El Castro Valtuille Godello
$41.99
While Albariño is the signature white wine for Galicia, Godello is quietly catching up. For this wine, the white Godello grapes are harvested manually in a single day. When they reach the winery, after destemming, the must is pressed and remains cold for 24 hours. After this process, they transfer the must to 225, 500 and 700-litre barrels, in which fermentation takes place and subsequent aging over the course of a year. The barrels are emptied for bottling five days before the next harvest.
A KWM exclusive.
As early as 1752, the ancestors of the (Raul) Pérez family were vine growers in Valtuille, making wine from some of the plots that today form part of the winery. Tradition, experience, and respect for the terroir and for the work of their ancestors define the character of their work, mark the profile of their wines and the life of nine generations of the family linked to the family business. The winery is located in Valtuille de Abajo, t the foot of the western slope of Castro de la Ventosa, a Roman site that gives its name to the project.

Kay Brothers Block 6 Shiraz 2019
$116.99
This historic McLaren Vale winery began producing wine in 1895, vinifying 9,000 litres of a (mostly) dry red blend, destined for export to Britain. During the 1890s they built the first part of the winery consisting of a crusher, fermenting tanks, press and storage tanks, most of which still stands today. By 1910 they had 35 acres in production. Export to Britain of dry red blends, mostly made from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz, steadily grew. In 1906 they started buying grapes to increase production.
Fast forward to the beginning of the 21st century. Stelvin caps replaced corks, overseas trade of bottled wine expanded, the Basket Press varietal range was established and two of their icon wines, the Cuthbert Cabernet and Hillside Shiraz, became two of the most collectible wines in Australia. Block 6 is a blockbuster of a wine built for the long haul
