Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva
$98.99
Lopez de Heredia is a family-run Spanish producer based in Rioja and regarded as one of the world’s greatest wine estates. It was founded in 1877 by Don Rafael Lopez de Heredia y Landeta. Four generations of the Lopez de Heredia family have devoted themselves to upholding their 140-year tradition of producing exceptional wines.
Tondonia, the winery’s most famous vineyard and product, was established between 1913 and 1914. It extends over 250 acres on the right bank of the River Ebro. In addition to Tondonia, the estate owns three vineyards (Cubillo, Bosconia, and Zaconia) covering a total area of 420 hectares. The soil is alluvial clay with a high proportion of limestone. Lopez de Heredia winery is the oldest in Haro and one of the first three houses in the Rioja region. They use completely natural and traditional methods of winemaking and their grapes are sourced exclusively from their own vineyards. They use typical Rioja varieties to produce the best wines: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo for reds, Viura and Malvasia for whites. The winery’s commitment to tradition is evident in their 131-year history of using American oak. They continue to have their own cooperage, making them the only bodega in Spain to hand-craft all the barrels used to age their wines.
Agrapart 7 Crus Champagne
$136.99
Oh, yeah. A beautiful, beautiful Champagne - and 92 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, too. The review: "Agrapart’s NV Brut Blanc De Blancs 7 Crus E13 – named for the seven Cote des Blancs villages from which it is sourced, and in this instance disgorged in May, 2013 – displays uncommon delicacy, buoyancy, tension and nuance for an “intro-level” cuvee, and that uncannily combined with a sense of richness and purity to its white peach and grapefruit. Almond and pistachio cream lend allure; chalk and salt along with piquancy of peach kernel and toasted pumpkin seed impart interest, invigoration and saliva-inducement to an effusively juicy, succulent and refreshingly sustained finish. Seven grams of residual sugar, incidentally, is fairly high by estate standards but perfectly complements this wine’s forward fruit without engendering any sense of outright sweetness. This exceptional value in Champagne should remain irresistible for at least the next couple of years, and I shall be anxious to experience what happens further down the pike as I revisit the bottles I recently purchased (because older “intro-level” bottles are not usually something that growers – or, for that matter, most self-styled wine collectors – can lay their hands on to pour for you)."
Quinta Escrita Douro White
$34.99
One of the Douro's top producers of table wines! This wine is a blend of regional grapes, including Rabigato, Verdelho, Alvarinho, and Viognier. While the Douro is particularly renowned for its Ports, of course, it is also home to many fantastic table wine producers, such as Rui Roboredo Madeira, the maker of this white blend. Serve chilled with seafood, maybe a plate of grilled calamari with oregano.
Producer Description
"Quinta da Pedra Escrita estate is located in Freixo de Numão - Douro Superior, with an average altitude of 575 meters. The windy and dry soils of the Estate are predominantly of granite, sandy and very poor in nutrients. Here I grew my first vineyards, always believing that the granite soils give us wines with highly complex aromas and great longevity, like in the old times."
- Rui Roboredo Madeira, owner and winemaker
Little Engine Pinot Noir Silver
$56.99
When you hear the children's book The Little Engine That Could, you would never expect for it to pave the way for this small production winery. Naming themselves after this children's fable, this winery promotes only the truest expressions of their wines and terroir. Focusing mostly on Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, they aim to bring only elegance and freshness to their wines and only believe in using French oak. This Pinot Noir is a single vineyard production, expressing tart cranberries, red cherries and maybe even a touch of dried hibiscus. Showing beautifully now, but also will develop through until 2023.
Edoardo Miroglio Bio Red
$25.99
Grape-growing and wine-making have been traditional for the region ever since Thracian times. Many ancient authors have praised the Thracian wine, and the recipe has been passed from father to son for generations... This is what I was inspired by! - Edoardo Miroglio
Edoardo Miroglio founded his production in 2002, after falling in love with the soil and climate of the Thracian Region. He works fully with organic vines, producing an array of lines. His EM line is his premium quality line, focusing on showing the complexity the terroir gives to the wine. This red is a blend of Mavrud (60%) and Rubin (40%), with notes of dark berries, oak spice, and a bright acidity and smooth tannins. A KWM Exclusive!
Ortega Rioja Rosado
$24.99
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.
Heartland Sposa e Sposa
$23.99
Lagrein and Dolcetto are two Italian grapes that would never be blended together in Italy. When it came to the point where Australia was fighting for same-sex marriage, Heartland decided that with this untraditional blend, they would donate $1 from every bottle to help the LGBTQ community fight for equality. Since then, Australia has opened the doors for marriage and Heartland now is donating to the same-sex marriage fight in Vietnam. Not only is this wine delicious (with elegant floral, red fruit and earth notes), but you also know that your money will be helping the never-ending fight for the LGBTQ community!
Heartland One
$72.99
Winery Notes: The Heartland One is a wine built to grow and prosper for many years to come. The intensity of this wine provides all the impetus required for long-term cellaring, while the deft handling of oak and the finely tuned acidity will ensure that it stays on track to be a balanced and generous wine. Dark fruit dominates the palate at this stage, and with ten years of age behind it, this wine is hitting its sweet sopt now. .
Pair with your favourite red meat, grilled steak, mushroom pie or aged cheddar.
