Terredora Fiano Campania
$36.99
This winery 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 Terradora). 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. We have just received their Irpinia Aglianico, Falanghina, Rosato, and Lacryma Cristi Rosso (made from Piedirosso).
Fiano is a white grape from Southern Italy that everyone should get acquainted with. ITs a bright, elegant and floral wine, that shows notes of pear, Mediterranean citrus, acacia, toasted hazelnut and a lovely note of minerality. The Terredora Fiano is one of the best examples on our market, with added elegance to make this wine remarkable for the price! A KWM exclusive.
Dumangin Le Rose 2012
$81.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650s, the Dumangins have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic, feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This non-vintage blend is made up of 47% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, and it accounts for almost 50% of their production. It is a truly delicious wine, pale salmon in colour with an enticing scent of strawberry. On the palate, it offers subtle notes of raspberry and citrus with some toasty brioche notes on the finish.
Ortega Rioja Young White
$26.99
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). This wine is a blend of 90% Viura, 5% Malvasía, 5% Garnacha Blanca. It's balanced and intriguing, with beautiful fruit and floral characteristics and an underlying acidity that brightens up the palate. Serve as an aperitif, or with light seafood.
Mas Blanch i Jove Sao Rosat
$29.99
Costers del Segre is situated on the rugged western border of Priorat, sitting at 700 metres above sea level. The winery also serves as an art gallery, with works of various artists scattered about the property. All the grapes are organically farmed, and the wines are made with as little intervention as possible. It's a Garnacha/Syrah blend that sees six hours of skin contact prior to a slow 20-day fermentation. It's a full-bodied style, ideal when you feel like red wine, but it's 30 degrees outside.
Vidbertus Menut
$36.99
Made from 100% garrut, better known as mataro or mourvedre.

The winemaking process begins in the vineyard with an ecological and environmentally friendly cultivation. On the palate it shows the breeding of an aged wine coming from well matured grapes. There's a voluminous mouthfeel, consistency and structure, velvety texture, all wrapped up in a big core of black fruits.
