Mascorrubi Teulera Ancestra
$29.99
This organic sparkling wine from Mascorrubi is made using the local Montonaga grape.
The Montonaga grape is a sub-varietel of Pareladda. Montonega vines produce loose bunches of small, pink grapes with thicker skins than Pareladda typically show and make aromatic and fresh white wine.
Mascorrubi Aixart Garnatxa
$30.99
This organic white blend of Garnatxa Blanca (White Grenache) and Montonega is produced by Mascorrubi from their estate vineyards. It spends three months in oak before being bottled. Expect notes of fresh apples and peaches, light honey and a dash of oak on this silky but dry white.
Altolandon Organic Red
$34.99
Owner & winemaker, Rosalia Molina, produces these organic wines in one of Spain's highest-altitude wineries. Her mission is to make wines that express the typicity of DO Manchuela, and this includes the vineyards, the altitude and the varieties planted. The climate pushes the limits for grape growing because, at 1,100 metres above sea level issues like frost become a concern. The grapes tend to experience a large diurnal range that encourages even ripening and helps to retain natural acidity. Rosalia's vineyards are certified organic, she uses only natural fertilizers, promoting biodiversity by welcoming chickens, sheep and pigs from local farms to roam the vineyards freely. Grapes are hand-harvested and vinified as naturally as possible with native yeasts and little other intervention. The wines are then aged in clay amphora and some in French oak to give texture and complexity.
This organic red blend is made up predominantly of Syrah, with some Cabernet Franc and Garnacha, dense and layered. One to enjoy now or cellar for a while. It spends 24 months in French oak as well.Ripe notes of black berries, blueberries, a touch of minerality and an expressive note of black pepper. A great wine to pair with a juicy steak, tourtiere and/or roasted root vegetables. Vegan friendly!
Hansel Cuvee Alyce Pinot Noir
$81.99
From The Winemaker
Alyce was my Mom and she was the life of the party.
There is a section of vineyard right in the middle of the North slope where the soils are very heavy adobe clay resulting in the vines struggling to produce a crop more than 1 ton to the acre. It is a field blend of clone 777 and 115. This minimal crop yield tends to produce wines that are big, rich, "over the top" flavors; perfect for "Alyce". The South Slope begins at the highest elevation and the furthest South of all of the vineyards blocks. Soils are predominantly sandy loam and the vines are all from Burgundy clone 777. Dark cherry, tobacco, cedar, dried autumn leaves and iron lend this wine tons of character and depth.
Chateau De La Greffiere Rose
$26.99
A delicious Gamay Rose from La Greffiere! Hailing from the Macon region of Burgundy, this rose is light and fresh, showing notes of wild summer berries, white blossom, acacia, pink grapefruit and a squeeze of kiwi juice. You can easily pair this with grilled duck breast, chicken salad, falafel and cheese.
Rosier Ma Maison Magnum
$52.99
This is a magnum/1.5 Litre bottle of the Rosier Ma Maison Crement.
This Cremant Rose from the Languedoc is made from a combination of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Pinot Noir. Pairs with seafood, grilled or breaded calamari, and more.
Wittmann Brunnenhauschen Riesling
$144.99
Another rarity from the esteemed Wittmann domain in the Rheinhessen. A single vineyard dry wine (as all wines bearing the Grosses Gewachs/Great Growth designation must be) from the exceptional 2021 vintage. Tempting to drink now but this wine will age gracefully for 20 years or more.
Le Vieux Donjon CNDP Rouge 2022
$87.99
Le Vieux Donjon was established in 1979 between Lucien and Marie-José Michel, whose parents each owned vineyards in the region prior to their marriage. Upon the marriage of Lucien and Marie-José, those within the families combined to form what is now known as Le Vieux Donjon. The winery itself is made up of fourteen hectares of organic parcels, containing both red and white grapes. The vineyards are filled with incredibly old vines (as much as 80yrs), which they only pick from once the grapes have achieved perfect ripeness. Lucien and Marie-Jose’s daughter, Claire, also joined the team in 2008. Lucien and Claire work together to destem (only when necessary), or pass the fruit directly into cement tanks to begin the fermentation process. The wine is then pumped downstairs into foudres and left to age 18-20 months.
Carm Douro Tinto
$22.99
Carm is part of the Roboredo Madeira winery group, (as are our Vinha da Urze wines), a company that has been producing wine and olive oil since the 17th century. The wine is vinified in Carm's Winery at Quinta das Marvalhas in Almendra, in the heart of Douro Superior. It's a blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, the trio of red grapes that form the backbone of many Port wines. It's aged in both French and American oak barrels for eight months prior to bottling. Look for expressions of blackberries, mulberry, and black cherry followed by the seductive flavours of black figs and licorice. There's a hint of toasted oak on the palate.
