Dixeebe Pechuga
$114.99
Once a year, Valentin Cortes produces a very small batch of this very special liquid. Espadin ‘ordinario’ is added to the still with bananas, guava, pinepapple, oranges, apple, prunes and turkey meat all hung in the still. The second distillation sees vapours pass through the protein and fruits to infuse the spirit with layered tropical and herbal flavours. The spirit is bottled around 50%.
Dixeebe is a long-awaited project from the Cortes and Hernandez families, 5th generation Mezcaleros from Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. This project aims to protect and cultivate the culture of Mezcal that has existed for centuries in the Oaxacan Sierras. Love, gratitude and respect are pillars of the project. Each product produced by Dixeebe is made to honour tradition, and ensure that these Mezcales will be protected for future generations to enjoy.

Mas Del Perie Rose A Table
$31.99
Fabien Jouves is from an old farming family in Causse and became a winemaker in 2006 when he created his first cuvée, “Mas del Périé”, on the highest slopes of Cahors.
Jouves’ estate, 21 hectares in the junction of Quercy and Cahors, was selected to highlight the many expression of Côt. Reinforcing this is Fabien’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture that respects “life, plant, man, and the environment.” Following biodynamic agriculture adds strength to his terroir by supporting the whole environment from the vines to the animals.
The vinification is completely natural without any oenological inputs. His wines are then aged in concrete vats, barrels, or casks, according to its characteristics and personality.
Willi Schaefer Graacher Trocken
$53.99
This tiny family-run winery is one of our most beloved estates. The Schaefer family has been growing grapes in Graach since 1121. They are masters of the 'fruitier' style of Riesling and this is unmistakable in recent vintages. It's incredibly finessed with a restrained lushness and mouthwatering salinity, charismatic and impossibly complex. The plots are located on steep slate slopes and consist of up to 100-year-old, ungrafted vines. Their wines regularly rack up ratings on par with the very best Germany has to offer.
