Full and round with a core of acidity, this Chardonnay shows what can be done with this variety in Niagara. The nose highlights lemon curd and mandarin orange that is rounded by hazelnut and soft baking spices. The palate follows the direction of the nose with the lemon curd morphing into lemon meringue pie, and a strong wet stone/mineral base. This wine will age well over the next 8+ years. Drink with roasted turkey, hazelnut crusted halibut, and soft white cheeses. Cheers!

Ahi Kāi is a pioneering Marlborough wine company focused on producing exceptional single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc through ethical, long-term partnerships with growers. Founded by internationally acclaimed winemaker Matt Thomson, Master of Wine Sophie Parker-Thomson, and foundation grower John Blackmore, Ahi Kā challenges the region’s low-value, commodity-driven model by prioritizing quality, sustainability, and transparency. Their mission is to drive meaningful change in the Marlborough wine industry by delivering outstanding wines that celebrate provenance while ensuring growers are fairly rewarded for the quality they produce.

Ahi Kā is a concept rooted in Te Ao Māori, traditionally translating to “keep the home fires burning.” Historically central to land rights in early Aotearoa (New Zealand), it has evolved in a modern context to represent guardianship and sustainable stewardship; Caring for the land with the intention of passing it on to future generations in a better state than it was found. This single-vineyard expression showcases intense passionfruit and blackcurrant aromas from one of Marlborough’s most highly acclaimed sites. A true standout, the palate bursts with tropical fruit, balanced by vibrant acidity and a richly textured, saline-driven finish. 

Highlight the wine’s bright, citrusy aromatics by pairing it with fresh, herb-focused dishes like a spring vegetable stir fry or a classic Caprese salad.

The Tomich family hails from the Adriatic Coast in Croatia where winemaking is a way of life. Jack Tomich Senior arrived in Australia in 1903, bringing with him all of the grape growing and winemaking skills of his forefathers. The family had always made their own wine for the family and grew sultanas and wine grapes after moving to the new irrigation settlement of Mildura in 1936. Jack’s son Ivan showed a real passion for wine, and by 1946 was producing and selling to local farmers. Three generations of grape growers and winemakers later, the Tomich family now owns one of the best sites in the Adelaide Hills and has kept its ancestral way of softly farming the land while advocating for regenerative growing practices.

The Tomich Hill range is handcrafted from estate grown fruit from high altitude, cool climate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. This Pinot opens with inviting aromas of citrus and melon. On the palate, zesty citrus flavours are beautifully balanced by a subtle hint of honeyed richness, leading into a crisp, flinty finish.

The tangy freshness makes this wine an easy drinking favourite for a wide range of palates.

The mix of clay and sand in this region’s soils and the dry climate of Roero give any wine an intensity of aromas to complement its vibrancy and elegance. Even Barbera, grown widely in Piedmont, achieves here a particularly fresh, tasty, and delectable expression.

In the cellar, Bric Cenciurio works to achieve this grape’s special character with minimal human intervention, by simply leaving its fermentation and aging to nature. Doing so results in fruity and floral notes in the wine, making it ideal for any occasion.

Bric Cenciurio’s Barbera d'Alba is an approachable, ready-to-enjoy wine that stands out for its vibrant freshness. In the glass, it presents a deep, intense ruby red hue—true to the character of the grape. On the nose, it offers a lively, floral bouquet with delicate notes of violet, complemented by rich aromas of ripe red berries, blackberries, and blueberries. On the palate, the wine is well-structured, with bright acidity and smooth, well-integrated tannins that add depth without overwhelming.

This Barbera d'Alba pairs beautifully with hearty first courses, lasagna, fritto misto alla Piemontese, and red meats.

Cordero San Giorgio is a new beginning in Oltrépo-Pavese for three siblings who grew up surrounded by their family’s vines at the legendary Vietti Estate in Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. The siblings Francesco, Lorenzo, and Caterina Cordero, are grandchildren of Luciana Vietti & Alfredo Currado, one of the pioneers of the first Barolo crus and considered the “father of Arneis.” Their father is Mario Cordero, Alfredo and Luciana’s son-in-law, who was the company’s co-owner from the beginning of the ‘80s until 2016 when it was sold.

The Oltrepò Pavese is a hilly triangle of land in Lombardy, embraced by Piedmont, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna. A territory dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the culture of wine for centuries: a land of both cultural and gastronomic encounter and exchange. Cordero San Giorgio is in the town of Santa Giuletta, and focuses on working with Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.

Tiamat is a Pinot Nero that is an expression of finesse. Elegant aromas and delicate on the palate.

A warm spring and warm summer lead to an uneven and wet fall, however good viticulture and good terroir still allowed these grapes to develop complex aromatics and structure without losing acidity or freshness. The blocks of two different Chardonnay clones: clone 76 and clone 96, were hand picked on October 17th. The clones were kept separate throughout pressing and oak aging. The fruit was whole cluster pressed and allowed to settle for a couple of days before being put into barrel for spontaneous fermentation. Once fermentations were completed, the wine remained in French oak barriques on lees for 15 months. This wine was skillfully blended with the perfect percentage of each clone to truly showcase this vintage, (63% clone 76 and 37% clone 96). We bottled this wine in June of 2023.

In 2010, Joana and António founded Maçanita Vinhos after an invitation from a local Douro family who had read about these playful and ambitious sibling winemakers. Both siblings contribute to Maçanita Vinhos, but the challenging Douro Valley has been Joana’s passion project since the start, and Joana and her children even moved to the Porto area to be closer to the winery and vineyards. Setting down roots in the region has allowed her to focus her famous energy into expanding the rising star that is her Douro career.

In 2010, father and daughter duo John & Callie embarked on a journey to Peru, where they experienced the breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu. As the morning sunrise washed over the ancient Incan citadel, their guide shared the legend of PachaMama—the revered goddess of nature, harvest, and abundance. They learned of the Andean tradition of offering a challa, a symbolic pour of wine given back to the earth as a gesture of gratitude.

This moment of reverence and connection sparked the inspiration for PachaMama Wines. More than a decade later, as the reins have passed from father to daughter, the brand remains deeply rooted in the values that shaped its beginnings: empowerment, sustainability, innovation, and community.

This Pinot Noir showcases everything to love about the varietal—vibrant red berries, subtle spice, and earthy undertones. The palate is medium-bodied and bursting with juicy strawberries and cranberries, balanced by fine, silky tannins and a crisp, refreshing acidity.

Match the bright fruit and savoury qualities of this wine with grilled veggie skewers served with a balsamic reduction.

Bianka and Daniel have been working their 16 hectares biodynamically for over a decade and are one of only 80 producers in Germany to be Demeter certified. 

This wine is made entirely from 100% Monsheim Riesling grapes, which were carefully harvested in the late harvest season at the end of October when the grapes are perfectly ripe and full of juicy flavour. After the grapes are picked, they undergo a process called maceration for 24 hours, allowing the juices and flavours to develop more fully. The wine is aged in large oak barrels that can hold between 1200 to 3000 liters, giving it a smooth and rich character that enhances its natural taste. 

This Riesling has a vibrant profile, and showcases ripe pear and luscious quince jelly on the palate, elegantly balanced by a zesty hint of grapefruit that adds a thrilling finish. The wine's intensity reflects the vineyard's exceptional terroir, delivering a harmonious fusion of fruitiness and acidity that invites another sip. A delightful expression of quality and craftsmanship from Bianka and Daniel, this wine is both refreshing and complex, making it a stellar choice for any occasion.

The Freiheit Riesling is a real surprise. Amidst countless conventional winegrowers in the hilly region of Rheinhessen, Bianka and Daniel Schmitt have taken a different path. The grapes were picked and selected by hand, the must was brought into the barrel immediately after pressing and left there to fend for itself. It was bottled unsulfured and unfiltered.

The result is incredibly lively, almost funky, with striking fruit. When freshly opened, it smells exotic of passion fruit, pineapple, but also gooseberries and ripe yellow pears.

At the southerly point of Africa along the Cape South Coast, Elgin stands out as the coolest region for wine production. Situated 450 meters above sea level on the southern ridge overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, lies Iona vineyards, surrounded by the UNESCO-certified Kogelberg Biosphere. Here, a unique microclimate is shaped by the close proximity to the freezing Atlantic Ocean and rapid altitude rise. Misty clouds shield the vineyards from intense sun exposure, filtering the sunlight to promote slow ripening. This results in grapes with perfect acidity, moderate alcohol, and beautifully developed flavours.

Iona's vineyards are meticulously tended by hand using organic and biodynamic methods, prioritizing soil health and integrated pest management. This philosophy extends to their cellar practices, where minimal intervention is required thanks to the exceptional quality of their fruit.

Stylish and Burgundian with bright citrus, white stone fruit, oyster shell minerality and a hint of brioche. The purity of fruit combined with well-judged oak and bright fresh acidity result in a wine that is layered and complex with a lingering finish.
