Lamura Pinot Grigio
$19.99
Always in the running for our best-selling white, especially in the summer, and as of 2021 it's certified organic! Its straw yellow in colour, with some copper reflections that revoke the typical colour of the grape. This wine has an intense bouquet of fruits such as apple, melon and citrus, matched well with more delicate mineral aromas. Fresh and zesty, it pairs well with seafood and fish.
Sicily has a history of wine-making that dates back to ancient times. Blessed with consistently bright sunshine and reliably moderate rainfall, Sicily’s classic Mediterranean climate is ideally suited to the production of organic wine grapes.

With the right soil, proper care, and a knowledgeable (and talented) winemaker, Pinot Grigio from Puglia can be a fresh and fruity summer sip. Perfect to be served as an aperitif or complement to summer seafood dishes.

Coca i Fito Jade
$41.99
Spain's Montsant region is home to Coca i Fitó, a winery located in the municipality of El Masroig, in the southernmost part of the region, with nearly 30 hectares of vineyards sprawling across various municipalities, with brothers Tony and Miquel Coca i Fitó crafting wines full of soul and identity from these distinct terroirs. Garnacha is king in these parts, and the rugged terroir of Montsant allows the grapes to reach their full potential, much as they can in areas like Châteauneuf-Du-Pape. They also grow a fair bit of carinyena (aka carignan) and syrah, another commonality with Châteauneuf-Du-Pape.

Le Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Templiers
$48.99
Le Clos des Cazaux estate has been a family property focused on viticulture for five generations since Gabriel Archimbaud, an ancestor, was one of the first to produce wines from Vacqueyras in 1947. It is now owned and operated by brothers Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. They farm 35 hectares, 20 in Vacqueyras and another 15 in Gigondas. They own mostly low-yielding hillside vineyards, fashioning high-quality white wines, rosés, and red blends. Their Gigondas vineyards are situated in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail massif range that has been in the family since the 1950s. This very special terroir benefits from the solar power of the southern slope, balanced by the cool nights at higher altitudes, mostly on clay soils. The reds are blended primarily from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. however, they include lesser-known grapes such as Aubun, Counoise, Cinsault, Muscardin and Carignan. The white wines mainly employ old-vine Clairette, complemented by Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and a little Viognier.

Delicious peach, pineapple, and white pepper flavours. A round, powerful wine. Because it's unoaked, pair with salad, California sushi rolls, a welcoming spot on your back deck, or all three!
Terminus Meldor
$29.99
Ana & Carlos Gonzales (of Bodegas Terminus) met in high school and have been together ever since. Their only time apart was when Carlos decided to undertake his university studies in Oenology in Tarragona rather than his homeland of Rioja, while Ana studied Oenology right in Rioja. Both winemakers work for or have worked for some of the top brands you can find in Spain, but they always wanted to have a project of their own. When they found the right partners and the right vineyard sites in Rioja Alavesa, they knew that the time had come to focus their knowledge and passion on making their own wines. This is a small production Rioja full of personality that conveys care, craftsmanship and quality! A great Tempranillo from the heart of Rioja, it's a smooth, rich wine with notes of summer berries, spice and toffee. Aged for 4 months in barrel, this wine is fuller in style, with soft, yet firm tannins. Serve with hearty dishes such as beef stew, vegetarian chilli, and hearty soups.
A KWM Exclusive!
Botter Gran Passione Veneto Rosso
$23.99
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.
