Vinha da Urze Douro Red
$19.99
The trio of Tinta Roriz (30% - also known as Tempranillo), Touriga Franca (45%) and Touriga Nacional (25%) go into this Portuguese red from the Quinta Da Urze vineyards owned by the Roboredo Madeira family. The fruit is destemmed, crushed gently and undergoes thermal shock followed by a period of maceration. Pre-fermentation takes place in a cold mill for about 12 to 24 hours. After this, the wine is transferred to fermentation tanks for a low maceration for 8 days at 22ºC. 40% of the wine is aged in French oak for 8 months.
DuMol Eddies Patch Syrah
$132.99
Winemaker’s Notes: "Less overtly fruity than Jack Robert’s Run, slower to open and overall a very different expression of Syrah. This is another wine of site and soil rather than Californian sun-filled fruit – so ultimately a far more complex experience than 99% of domestic Syrah. The deep red, iron-rich, highly-eroded mountain soils bring a rarely-matched complexity to this wine, but one that typifies many of the world’s greatest red wine vineyards. We don’t fully understand the reason, but the high iron oxide content allows for very special red grapes, full of complex terroir signatures. The shallow, steep hillside soils, also high in silica/quartz, contribute admirable freshness to the wine, so that while it’s dense, deep and rich, it’s never clumsy or overbearing, and the moderate alcohol level (14.34%) is easily held in check. You can age this vintage for many years and it will always give pleasure. The balsamic reduction notes will become more prominent with age as the fresh fruit fades, but this is a beautifully constructed Syrah and one of our finest ever Eddie’s Patch offerings. In my mind on a par quality-wise with the gorgeous 2009.
Deep blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry fruit with bay laurel, pine needle, menthol and a resonant balsamic note. The aromas directly translate to flavors. Wintergreen complexity, charcoal and a strong volcanic iron quality. Dark core of rich, full fruit. Walnut sweetness with dried herb freshness. Weighty and concentrated but wonderfully energetic. Plum skin tanginess on the mouth filling finish. There’s long term aging potential here.
Complex, multi-layered wine with fine interplay between vintage-derived deep fruit core and vineyard signature soil-driven elements." Winery notes
Grosjean Petite Arvine
$52.99
Valle d'Aosta is an Alpine region in North-West Italy known for expressive and mineral-focused wines. The first authentic records, found in the historic archive of the Valle d'Osta, state that the first appearance of the Grosjean Family name was around the 16th century. Originally from Switzerland, the Petite Arvine grape has adapted well to the valley’s conditions. Introduced to the region during the 1970s, it occupied the central part of the valley and was planted at an altitude between 600 and 900 metres above sea level. It has become well suited to their draining steep mountainsides. A recent study shows that the Petite Arvine seems to have a close link to the native Prié Blanc grape. Try it with appetizers, white fish and poultry.
Mascarello Scudetto Barbera
$75.99
Giuseppe Mascarello is one of those producers that you want to try. Their wines are an experience within themselves, and this Barbera is no different. Expect notes of dark fruits and a firm, bold mouthfeel. Pair this wine with your favourite winter dish. It's a wine that has some longevity, and will be able to age for the forseeable future.
Belisario Verdicchio
$23.99
Every day is a Verdicchio day! From the Mediterranean climate of Alta Vallensina, Belisario brings us a truly engaging and versatile dry white wine. Classic peachy aromas associated with Verdicchio are well represented here, along with a touch of bright citrus. Refreshing acidity is kept in perfect balance with a somewhat weighty body that allows for a long, thoughtful finish. Perfect paired alongside appetizers, or as an appetizer all on its own.
A KWM exclusive.
Steele Zinfandel Cuvee Zinfandel
$32.99
Jed Steele is a pioneer in California's wine world, starting his career in 1974 and striking out on his own in 1991, eventually opting to make his wines in Lake County (just north of Napa Valley) where vineyards were considerably more affordableSteele's Cuvee Zinfandel is made from grapes grown in Lake and Mendocino County. Steele Wines purchased this vineyard in Mendocino County from the Pacini family in 1998, but it was originally planted in 1940. While they have replaced some of the vines, many of the old vines still remain. They are dry-farmed due to their location and result in intensely flavoured wines. The ripe bramble fruit is accompanied by spice, cocoa and vanilla, bolstered by American oak. While it is full-bodied, the tannins are smooth and ripe.
Aubuisieres Cuvee Armelle
$34.99
Formerly known as Domaine Bernard Fouquet, until Bernard retired in 2021, handing the reins to Charles Lesaffre. Charles is the grandson of Gérald Bruley des Varannes, the man from whom Bernard's father André acquired his first vineyards, thereby bringing the story of the Domaine full circle. An avid practitioner of viticulture and oenology, Charles joined Bernard as an associate in 2019. Two years into his tenure, Charles has emphasized organic and biodynamic practices. Charles has continued, as Bernard before him, to capture the unique Vouvray mineral tones, along with the wonderfully balanced expression of fruit of the Chenin Blanc grape, in his wines.
A fantastic moelleux (the term for sweet chenin blanc from the Loire Valley), this dessert wine is vibrant, with notes of baked apple, honey and a touch of almond. Perfect to pair with pate, foie gras, cheese or fruit pies. It's sweet but far from cloying, and organic.
Constantia Chardonnay
$21.99
Constantia Uitsig is located in what can be described as the "Cradle of winemaking" in the Cape and has a long history, being part of the first wine-producing estate in South Africa, dating back to the mid-1600s. Its unique position means that its vines benefit from the cool sea breezes, providing natural acidity and brilliant ageing ability, as well as Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate, with its rainy winters and long, dry summers. This position has made for the perfect grape growing conditions, with vines rooted in 200-million-year-old, well-composed, well-drained granite with a high clay content, ensuring excellent water retention. The wine features a complex nose that leads with tangerine and melon aromas underlined by a fresh minerality. This is followed by yellow summer fruit flavours on the palate, finished with delicate hits of Granny Smith apples and Meyer lemon.
