This Icewine busts out a perfume of strawberry, raspberry, guava, cassis, vanilla and herbs. On the tongue, it is pure essence of berry with a succulent aftertaste. Chocolate fondue all the way.
Pouring light gold and cloudy, this cider, crafted by one of Canada’s natural wine pioneers, is fermented with Southbrook’s indigenous white wine yeast for a complex yet highly quaffable sipper. A bright apple-juice character dominates the nose, while the palate is marked by citrus, apple pie, pear skins, apricot and peaches. Delicate carbonation, medium tannins and a dry finish lend a rustic feel to this cider.
An explosion of mango and spicy florals erupts on the nose, priming the palate for a judiciously hoppy sip of pineapple and spicy bitterness with a nearly imperceptible malt backbone. This session ale is laser-focused on its bright, Galaxy and El Dorado hop profile with a dry, lightly bitter finish and a soft, delicately bubbly body.
Offers characteristic varietal green apple and aromatic floral notes with refreshingly crisp acidity balancing the lightly off-dry finish. An agreeable sipper that will pair with light appetizers and lightly spiced white-meat dishes.
Sourced from 33-year-old vines at their desert-dry Osoyoos vineyard. The fragrant nose exudes violets, red berries and brambly notes. The rich, tangy palate embraces juicy acidity, dry tannins and sweet American oak spiciness. So, marinate the meat, fire up the bbq and start grillin’.
Vaglio is a project by José Lovaglio, son of legendary Argentine winemaker Susana Balbo. These wines are meant to exemplify Argie terroir, not winemaking. Plush, dusky dark red fruited, this Malbec is sourced from different areas in Mendoza's Uco Valley, from sites that José works with for his single vineyard wines. The whole is scented with dark perfumed blooms, the tannins worked soft, and the finish trails with a fine medicinal edge. Though fleshy on the palate, this is held to a reported respectable 13 degrees, and ideal for drinking now with lusty grilled ribs.
This blend of vineyards and grapes features predominantly blackcurranty Cab Sauv and jammy Shiraz, seasoned with peppery Cab Franc. Dark fruit and toast tease the nose, while bright red fruits pop on the medium-bodied palate. Lingers with anise and black pepper. Tasty with grilled sausages.
