Ortega Rioja Rosado
$18.74
Their story began with Quintín Ortega in 1986. A humble figure with some good ideas and the determination to carry them out, he decides to plant vines and start what is now the winery, led by his great-grandson, Carmelo Ortega. In the 90s, Carmelo established the winery headquarters in an old house that served as a winery for many years, now a site where an enotourism project is being developed to encourage tourism in the region. Their property covers approximately 700 hectares of scrubland, almond fields and vineyards, all of which are sheltered by the nearby mountains, which create climatic conditions that include a reduced risk of frost and a controlled level of humidity in the summer. This set of features and factors, together with the characteristics of the soil (pebbles, low organic matter), creates a unique grape-growing microcosm, which has allowed them to develop the “village wine” style they are looking for to define the wines of Tudelilla (the village where they are situated in the heart of the Rioja Baja region).. A blend of 90% Garnacha and 10% Viura, this wine has ripe and floral notes, with hints of tropical fruit (grapefruit, passion fruit and orange peel). Serve as an aperitif or cold dishes.
Glup Rosado
$25.49
The rose is a blend of Grenache, Mouvedre, Pais from 100-year-old vines from the Maule Valley. It spends 8 months in old French barrels and sees no stabilization, fining or filtering and relies on wild yeast for fermentation. The Glup wines from the Longavi group represent excellent value.
G&M CC Glentauchers 2000 KWM Cask
$254.99
This whisky was featured on Day 19 of our 2024 KWM Not An Advent Calendar Tastings! You can read more about the whisky here.
Is it a coincidence we bottled two Gordon & MacPhail Glentauchers casks in a year? Yes, but it shouldn't be all that surprising... seeing as they are bottling some of the best whisky from the distillery. This 2000 vintage was matured 23 years in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead. We were blown away by this old-school dumpy, sherried single malt... it's a very cool dram! 55.8%.
Botter Gran Passione Veneto Rosso
$20.39
This Veneto blend of Corvina Rosso and Merlot offers great value. The 2022 vintage offers a core of plush cherry and spiced plums with a hint of vanilla. The grapes are harvested slightly overripe, then de-stemmed and vinified with approximately 15 days of maceration to extract colour and tannin structure. The late harvest gives it a slight Amarone profile minus the 16% punch of alcohol.
Holyrood Embra Single Malt Scotch
$98.09
The second release of Holyrood whisky to come to Canada is Embra, a peated single malt created from spirit matured primarily in First Fill ex-Bourbon, but also peated quarter casks, and new American oak. Embra is slang for Edinburgh, also a nod to the peated nature of the spirit. 43.6%, un-chillfiltered. ETA July/August 2024
Producer Description
"Edinburgh is the gateway to Scotland for many people and this is the idea at the heart of this spirit. The aim was to find that perfect balance between capturing the classic bold smoky flavours and textures of peated whisky while still being accessible to a new whisky drinker. When someone says they don’t like peated whisky, give them this. That doesn’t mean there isn’t something for the seasoned peated drinkers as we have all of the hallmark flavours and textures of a great peated whisky."

Sylvain Martel Julienas 750ml
$46.74
Sylvain Martel completed his winemaking training in the Southern Rhone and spent ten years running a small organic estate in the Ardeche. He relocated to Beaujolais, after the Graillot family of Crozes-Hermitage brought him on board to help establish and manage Domaine de Fa. As fate would have it, Sylvain met Anne-Sophie Dubois (we carry her wines as well) in 2016 and settled down in Fleurie. By 2018 he was ready to start his own project and purchased a 1.3ha plot of 45 year old Gamay vines on a dramatic steep slope at 450m altitude in the lieu-dit of Bessay in the western part of Julienas. A terroir of blue stones, the tree-lined vineyard is planted to a high density, cultivation is organic and the yields are kept low (25hl/ha).
