Castello D`Alba White
$28.99
This white wine from the Douro is made with Rabigato, Gouveio, and Viosinho grapes; all of which are local to Portugal and the Douro Valley. The vines are dry farmed and the grapes are harvested by hand with vinification and aging before taking place in stainless-steel vats.
Tedeschi Valpolicella
$28.99
Valpolicella is the famous wine growing region in the north of Italy. Generally three grapes are used in the production of Valpolicella: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The grapes are harvested by hand at the beginning of October and, after fermentation, rest in large oak barrels for a year. The resulting wine is very fresh with clear notes of cherry and currants. This wine is the perfect 1, 2 punch for Pizza or pasta. Complete your Italian meal with this bright beauty.
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.
Tedeschi San Rocco Ripasso
$39.99
Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition, produced exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides. Since 1630, their family has believed in the extraordinary potential of local wine production, enhancing its value in a modern key with innovative production and environmental management methods with the end result of creating wines that are able to evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land
Ripasso wine is made using an ancient winemaking technique called "ripasso." (Some call it the poor man's Amarone!) The young Valpolicella wine is fermented with the unpressed but drained skins and lees left over from making Amarone. This adds flavour and intensity, though Ripasso normally has a lighter taste than Amarone wines, which makes it easier to combine with food, and is often less expensive. Fruity, well-balanced and very well structured. Best food matches are: red meat, game and cheeses.
Castello D`Alba Red
$28.99
This red from Douro is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo). The vines are dry-farmed and the grapes hand-picked, with fermentation and aging taking place in stainless-steel tanks before bottling. It's juicy and fresh, full-bodied but with silky tannins. Ideal with grilled meats.
Mayu Cabernet Gran Reserva
$22.94
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple and red in color. The nose is spicy, featuring rich aromas of ripe red fruits, dark berries, violets, and cedar. Generous and fruit-forward but fresh. It features a great balance of dark fruit flavors, acidity, and soft, elegant tannins. Because of its rich, structured profile, it pairs beautifully with heavy, hearty dishes like prime rib, roasted lamb, or rich game. A KWM Exclusive
Dagueneau Pinot Noir Les Pinottes
$39.99
This branch of the Dagueneau family, headed by father Serge, is based in Saint Andelain and owns 19 hectares of old vineyards across several of the prime sites of the Pouilly Fumé appellation, including three hectares in the nearby appellation of Cotes de la Charite. Today, the estate is run by Serge's daughter Valerie, cousin of the late Didier Dagueneau, with help in the vineyard from Serge. Light and juicy with cherry, raspberry and delicate notes of blackcurrant with roasted and slightly spicy aromas. Gentle tannins and nice acidity, an amazing Burgundy-like wine offering great value.
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.
