Pinot Gris 2022 (Oregon, USA)
White | Pinot Gris

Brilliant straw colour with youthful yet intense aromas of white peach, stone fruit, green apple and citrus. Bright acidity and freshness on the palate with a round mouthfeel but it stays surprisingly refreshing. Distinctly Oregonian; a clean, fresh style of Pinot Gris.

Pairing suggestion: This Pinot Gris is zesty and fresh, and pairs amazingly with sushi, ceviche and even richer meals like fish and chips! It is also beautiful with white meats, such as chicken and turkey.

Chenin 2023 (Stellensbosch, South Africa)
White | Chenin

Behold, Chenin Blanc! The most widely planted varietal in South Africa simply shines in this charming expression from Stellensbosch. Sourced from old vines and naturally fermented, expect elegant notes of white peach, lemon and tangerine with an underlying layer of crisp yellow apple. Bright and fresh on the palate, but with good depth and concentration, this wine is ready to drink now but will also cellar nicely for the next 2-3 years.

Pairing suggestion: This Chenin Blanc pairs perfectly with all kinds of fresh seafood; and also with tartare. Smoked salmon or trout would also be delicious next to a glass of this old vines Chenin. Its rich texture makes it suitable to be paired with goat cheese, roast chicken and butternut squash.

Pinot Noir 2021 (Oregon, USA)
Red | Pinot Noir

Reflective of the mix of sedimentary & volcanic nature of the soil and the 2018 vintage, the Stags Hallow Creek truly expresses its place. Red cherries and raspberries on the nose, floral with notes of dried violets. Firm yet delicate tannins. Extremely refined and perfumed, the most delicate Pinot Noir expression we’ve made to date.

Cinsault/Syrah 2021 (Stellensbosch, South Africa)
Red | Cinsault, Syrah

This wine has a brilliant medium purple colour in the glass. On the nose, it's all about fresh ripe red & black fruit: cherry, strawberry, wild raspberry; with hints of intense spice, it also has a granite minerality. On the palate it is light-bodied, with a vibrant acid and grippy though delicate tannins. It intermingles with surprisingly powerful fruit & spice; punching above its weight in flavour. It is very balanced with low alcohol.

Pairing suggestion: This light red pairs with all manner of dishes: from barbecue meats to grilled salmon and veggies, to spicy dishes.

Tenerife - DOP Islas Canarias

Juan Jesús Méndez is a proud native of Tenerife and the fourth generation of winegrowers. Driven by passion and love for his homeland, he has overseen Bodegas Viñátigo for almost thirty-five years. He has been studying and recovering the almost-extinct grape varieties that were brought to the Canary Islands by European settlers since the 15th century. He has made of Viñátigo a reference winery in the region.

This mixed case includes 6 bottles of each wine:

6 bottles x Viñátigo Listán Blanco de Canarias 2023 White | Listán Blanco de Canarias

The grape Listán Blanco de Canarias was brought to the Canary Islands in the 18th century by the Andalusian conquers. Viñátigo cultivates it in the high-lands that sit at 500 meters of altitude.

The vines are trained in ‘parrales’, a training method inherited by the Portuguese community that settled on the northern part of the island back in the 15th century. These vertical structures adapt to the hills and ravines created by the last eruptions of Teide volcano towards the north of the island. This wine is very fresh and has a vibrant acidity. On the nose, it has fragrant aromas of fennel, dried fruits and fig tree leaves; as well as a distinct mineral quality that is a result of the volcanic soils.

6 bottles x Viñátigo Listan Negro 2023. Red | Listán Negro

Listán Negro is a grape that Viñátigo cultivates in the mid-lands, in the north-west of Tenerife. This grape is a native grape variety of the Canary Islands, as it originated from a natural crossing between the grapes Listán Blanco and Negramoll, both brought by Portuguese and Andalusian settlers between the 15th and 18th centuries.The grapes are hand-harvested by mid- September and the wine ages in old barrels for three months. It’s a delightful and juicy red, with aromas of black pepper, dark fruits, and a strong mineral, volcanic character.

Matías Riccitelli Blanco de la Casa 2023. This wine represents Matías' style when it comes to white wines; working with their three most important white grapes: 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon and 20% Chardonnay, all of them coming from the coldest places in Valle de Uco.

The Sauvignon Blanc comes from limestone soils in Gualtallary. The Sémillon from 80-year old ungrafted vines in El Peral, in Valle de Uco, where soils are loam/clay. The Chardonnay comes from La Carrera, the highest elevation vineyard (1700 masl), with a complex soil of clay/loam with a subsoil of limestone gravel.

The wine shows complex aromas of green apple, hay and herbaceous notes that are underpinned by a remarkable minerality. Textured and full flavoured with a wonderful fluency and a rich energy on the finish.

Matías Riccitelli Tinto de la Casa 2022. This wine is the result of a Malbec-Malbec co-fermentation each coming from two different vineyards. Half of the grapes come from Las Compuertas, in Luján de Cuyo, at 1100 meters above sea level, the other half come from Gualtallary, in Valle de Uco at 1400 meters. 

Las Compuertas vineyard is characterized by having 1 metre of clay/loam, and a very rocky subsoil with great drainage. The vineyard in Gualtallary has limestone soils that infuse the Malbec planted on it with spiciness and fresness.

This wine is fermented with 50% whole cluster in small French wooden vats with indigenous yeasts. 

On the glass, it has a deep purple colour. On the nose, it combines floral notes with a spicy sensation and dark cherries. On the palate, it is a complex, rich wine, with soft tannins.

Matias Riccitelli Chardonnay Gualtallary Valle de Uco 2023. The search for complexity and elegance led Riccitelli to these small vineyards located at the foot of the Andes mountains. The Gualtallary vineyard is 1400 meters above sea level with rocky, limestone soils.

The grapes are macerated before fermentation for five days. Once pressed, fermentation happens in concrete eggs at low temperature with indigenous yeasts. Ageing continues in the same concrete eggs for about 8 months.

Greenish yellow with golden tones on the glass. A complex, elegant, with aromas of white flowers, pear, peach and vanilla wine. Perfectly balanced, high volume, with an elegant finish.

Matías Riccitelli Cabernet Franc Gualtallary 2022. A wine deeply influenced by the environment provided by the nearby mountain range. The grapes of Cabernet Franc come from Gualtallary, in Valle de Uco, at 1400 masl, where soils are mostly limestone, with gravel and sand. The grapes are destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in small concrete vats, with soft and gentle punchdowns to obtain a slow extraction. The wine ages in used French barrels for 12 months.

The wine opens up with aromas of cassis and sweet and savoury dried herbs, as well as a bit of dried tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied on the palate with lush tannins that bloom with each sip and polished acidity that carries the ripe fruit into the finish. 

Pair this full style red with a hearty meat-based dishes to enhance the plush texture of this wine.

The grapes are destemmed and macerated on the skins at low temprature for five days. Fermentation happens in French foûdres with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for twelve months in foûdres.

The wine is fresh and elegant, with a good combination of fruity and floral notes, a silky texture and a refreshing acidity that makes it super versatile. It will evolve over time, developing complexity.

Matías Riccitelli Viejos Viñedos En Pie Franco Malbec 2021. Malbec is the Argentinian flagship variety and this beautiful wine is a truly sublime interpretation. Produced with grapes from old, ungrafted vines from small vineyards located at the foot of the Andes mountains, that were planted in the first decades of the 20th century.

The grapes are destemmed and fermented in small concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Punchdowns are soft and gentle, in order to obtain a slow extraction. The wine ages in French barrels (500L) for about 16 months.

This wine has a traditional feel to it - deeply pigmented in the glass, unveiling ripe aromas of wild black berries and cherries, along with liquorice and whiffs of violet. The palate is poised and balance, with oak that is present but not invasive. A full-bodied wine that portrays the varietal tannins, which are round and elegant. The finish shows great depth and length. This is a truly a classic wine with great ageing potential. 

These Crew Sauvage have a remarkable balance of concentration and weight, while remaining fresh and lifted in their youth.

Nicholas Pearce Crew Sauvage Chardonnay VQA Niagara Peninsula 2021. Expect straw gold in the glass with gorgeous orchard fruits, apple and peach on the nose with notes of marine, hazelnut, lemon custard, and blonde caramel essence. This elegant wine offers a lovely texture on the palate, rich and round with biscuits and cream, while boasting a lip-smacking acidity with an herbal tea tannin.

This world class Niagara Chardonnay is ready to pair with just about anything, but we are thinking white fish in beurre blanc, cream based pastas or fresh salads garnished with lots of cheese.

Nicholas Pearce Crew Sauvage Pinot Noir VQA Niagara Peninsula 2021. The 2021 vintage is marked by elegance over power, brimming with brightness and approachability straight out of the gate, with not hard edges. Light ruby-red in the glass, high toned aromas of cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, backed by roasted herbs, spice and pepper. Great weight and poise for Ontario, but still the light to medium bodied Pinot Spectrum with balanced tannins and acids holding on to fine and lengthy finish.

Certainly a vintage on the edge, marked by many cold and wet days. However, as every mother does, mother (nature) kicked in and saved the day with a gloriously warm and dry finally to the cooler growing season.
