Deep ruby. Ripe nose of black fruits, earthy notes, spices, smoky oak and leather. Sweet fruity taste, quite tannic, warm and firm on the tongue. Tight finish. Will benefit from 4 to 5 years in the cellar. Hearty dishes are in order.
Intense fruity aromas with loads of juicy dark plum, berry, leather and spice flavours, bright acidity, soft tannins, firm underlying structure, a nice edginess and a long, mocha-filled finish. A fantastic value and perfect for grilled lamb or wild boar. A blend of Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro.
Dark yellow. Hops, floral and citrus notes on the nose but an aroma of bread reveals the use of Champagne yeasts in the making. Smooth and rather light on the palate, the intense flavour is sharpened by the tangy acidity and rounded by the 7% alcohol. There is a nice touch of honey in the finish.
Great focus and intensity with loads of crunchy apple, lime, tangerine and mineral, firm backbone, juicy mid-palate and bright acidity to balance the touch of residual sweetness on the finish. While the Okanagan may be BC’s best-known wine-growing region, it’s time to discover the quality coming from the desert surroundings of the Similkameen Valley. Great with grilled pork belly and spicy smokies.
Bright and shining medium blush hue, this rustic and authentically-styled fuller-bodied saignée Negroamaro rosé is from the dry gravelly limestone and clay soils of Apulia. Earthy raspberry, cherry and strawberry jam make the middle, while orange-laced acidity and stony minerality brighten and season. Dry, bright and lengthy — and a welcome 13 degrees — this is a worthy pour for your best cioppino or grilled pork chops.
This Chard has a highly expressive nose of green apple, mineral, pear, subtle oak and a touch of citrus. It has lovely texture on the palate, beautiful balance and poise, with bright orchard fruits, lemon chiffon, seamless spice, swirling minerals and a clean, vibrant finish.
If you're a Gewürztraminer fan, don't miss this one. Golden straw in colour with a spicy, lychee and rose-petal nose, it’s medium- to full-bodied, off-dry, with sweetish melon and lychee flavours and lively, balancing acidity. Great with Asian cuisine or smoked salmon.
