Tantalus Syrah
$52.69
Tantalus was established in 2004 when Proprietor Eric Savics was presented with the opportunity to acquire one of the Okanagan Valley’s premier vineyard properties. Originally known as Pioneer Vineyards, the site was first planted to table grapes in 1927 by renowned, local horticulturist JW Hughes. The old vine plantings – 1978 Riesling and 1985 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay became the backbone of the vineyard. Other varietals were removed and new plantings of the 3 flagship varietals commenced in 2005. The vineyard would not only have considerable vine age as its anchor, but it would also grow to have superior clone variation as well. With the success of the wines and the increase in production came the need to build a new winery. Tantalus’ sleek new facility was completed in March 2010 and has the distinction of being British Columbia’s first LEED-certified winery. This wine has been awarded best overall BC wine in previous competitions. The vines are generally regarded as the oldest vinifera plantings in the Okanagan.
Terredora Pago Dei Fusi 2015
$86.99
This revered winery's story begins with a tale of two brothers - Walter and Antonio Mastroberardino -who parted ways, with Antonio acquiring the winery and Walter acquiring the vineyards (renamed as Terredora). The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia, surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, they rank among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. The South of Italy is one of the most interesting wine areas in the country, and Campania, and especially the Irpinia region, produces wines from native grape varieties such as aglianico, fiano, greco, piedirosso and falanghina, all of which are brimming with personality. Aglianico has been called the Barolo of the south for its power and its ability to age for many years. Today it is Walter's daughter, Daniela Mastroberardino, who oversees the winemaking duties and serves as the president of the Le Donne del Vino association- an organization supporting women in the wine industry in Italy.
Usseglio CNDP Magnum
$182.99
From Stephane Usseglio: Domaine Raymond Usseglio finds its roots in the initiative of my father, Raymond Usseglio, who founded it in 1963. My family's wine history dates back to 1931, when my grandfather, Francis, left his native region, from Piedmont, to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
After more than fifteen years of working in the fields, in 1948, he operated a sharecropping farm with his vines and produced his first wine in 1949. The year 1962 marked a significant turning point, with the planting of the first vines in my grandfather's name on the Terres Blanches terroir, now one of the most emblematic of the Domaine. Near these plots, in 1963, my father, accompanied by my mother Danielle, took up the torch from his father and founded the Domaine Raymond Usseglio.
Moraine Estate Naramata Bench Pinot Noir
$35.69
Moraine is derived from the geological term for the glaciated white clay buffs that comprise the breathtaking Naramata Bench. Also known as “boulder clay“, Moraine is a deposit of clay which is formed beneath glaciers and ice-sheets during the Glacial Period in North America, specifically, in the Okanagan Valley as we know it today. As a result, these glaciated white clay cliffs comprise the wondrous Naramata Bench and inspire the winery’s land-formed name. This is estate-grown pinot noir from their Sophia Vineyard. Hand-picked and fermented in small 1-ton vats. Complex and layered with bright, tangy notes of raspberry, darker elements of black cherry and mulberry, and a subtle undercurrent of cedar and toast. Fine tannins balance this elegant, medium-bodied pinot noir.

the variety and appellation.

Vega Sicila Macan Rioja
$99.99
Red wine made from 100% tempranillo. After the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic process is carried out in barrels and in tanks. The ageing takes place in extrafine and fine grain French wood, the majority in new barrels and the rest in one-wine barrels. It remains in wood for 15 months and then in bottles until it is sold.
Macán and Macán Clásico are the joint vision that two great names of the wine world, Rothschild and Vega Sicilia, have of La Rioja. They are very elegant wines, where the harmony of their aromas and flavours show the authenticity of the land from where they come and its capacity to produce great wines.
Macán Clásico is very approachable and expressive, more pleasant and pleasurable when drunk with a marked character of the land from which it comes and a simplicity that makes it very attractive.
