2 bottles x Mesquida Mora Sincronia Blanc 2021 (Mallorca, Spain)
White | Premsal, Giro, Chardonnay
91 points by Robert Parker

Sincronia Blanc radiates the light and spirit of the island of Mallorca. The wine is a blend of the indigenous prensal blanc and giró varieties with chardonnay. Bright, aromatic, and elegantly textured, Sincronia Blanc remains both fresh and substantive at the same time, a testament to the incredible provenance of the vines and the expert handling by Bàrbara. The notes of white fruits like apple and pear appear first, then giving way to sweeter sensations reminiscent of peach or melon, with a slight hint of coconut. In the mouth it is well-rounded, meaty, long and persistent, with a finish that is full but fresh.

Pairing suggestion: Pair it with seared scallops with brown butter and lemon pan sauce.

2 bottles x Mesquida Mora Sincronia Negre 2020 (Mallorca, Spain)

1 bottle x Mesquida Mora ACROLLAM Blanc 2021 (Mallorca, Spain)
White | Premsal blanc, giro ros
92 points by Robert Parker

“Acrollam” is “Mallorca” in reverse, because Barbara Mesquida likes to do her work in her own way, often “the other way round” from what is customary, escaping from the established canons.

Acrollam Blanc is a serious, textural, white wine with aromas of fresh plants, herbs, and spices, with moderate alcohol and a medium-bodied palate that is tasty with a salty twist, dry and long. It is a white wine produced with low-intervention, in limited quantities, built to improve with time in bottle; the result is one of the highest expressions of white wine Mallorca has to offer.

Pairing suggestion: pair Acrollam with cod with scallion-sesame butter.

1 bottle x Mesquida Mora Trispol 2019 (Mallorca, Spain)
Red | Cabernet Sauvignon, Callet, Gorgollasa, Mantonegro, Merlot, Monastrell

When Bàrbara split from her family winery in 2012 to begin her project, she said that, along with the vineyards inherited from her mother, all she needed was a roof and a floor.  Trispol means “floor” in Mallorquìn, and this red wine is one of two top cuvées produced by Mesquida Mora.

Trispol is a complexly structured red wine. Like all of the special cuvées of this artisanal winery, Trispol is produced with low-intervention in limited quantities and is designed to improve in bottle. Spicy red fruit with touches of vanilla and cocoa and light pyracinic notes producing a wine that is full-bodied, fresh, long and persistent in the mouth.

Pairing suggestion: pair this wine with date-and-soy-braised short ribs, or miso-mushroom risotto.

Delivery timeline: It requires three cases of each wine in order for us to build and fulfill six mixed cases. This process usually takes about 7-10 business days but may vary.

Joan Ramón Escoda has been shaking the pillars of winemaking in his home-country and abroad since the 90's. He is an absolute anarchist, a radical winemaker, a rock'n'roller and a grass-roots innovator; and his wines are everything but banal. Have a taste of his unique wines with this mixed case. It includes 2 bottles of each of the following wines:

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Mas del Gaio 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
White | Grenache Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada

Mas del Gaio is the top white from Celler Escoda-Sanahuja. An old-vine expression from rustic limestone vineyards next to the winery, blending Garnacha Blanca, Macabeu, and Parellada. Garnacha Blanca and Macabeu are fermented together. Once everything is combined, the wine is aged mostly in large amphora and old French barrels. Mas del Gaio has aromas of stone fruit, lemon verbena, and fuzzy peach skins, with a long, fleshy and salty finish. Fantastic acidity and viscosity from the lees aging. Tropical too, with subtle notes of passion fruit.

Pairing suggestion: Pair it with fish dishes and cured cheeses.

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Les Paradetes 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
Red | Carignan, Grenache, Sumoll

Sumoll, Garnatxa and Carignan come together in this complex and spicy blend. Les Paredetes ferments in stainless steel and ages for 14 months in neutral oak barrels. Expect lovely red fruit, fresh acidity, a slight smokey touch and a light finish armed with soft, tingly tannins.

Pairing suggestion: Pair it with roasted red meats and cured cheeses.

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Coll del Sabater 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
Red | Cabernet Franc, Parellada

The main part of this wine is Cabernet Franc, a varitey which winemaker Joan Ramon Escoda daringly decided to complement it with a 20% of Parellada, a local white grape of great aromatic refinement. Harvested by hand and partially destemmed, the grapes were macerated and fermented together in clay amphorae using only indigenous yeasts. Then this natural red wine was aged for 7 months on lees in the amphorae. Slightly raw and pleasantly wild, this wine could need some aeration to unfurl. Some earthy and mineral notes, evolving into a fleshy red fruit nuanced by flowers, herbs and spice. This blend of Cabernet Franc and Parellada is remarkably original. Delicately warm, but also full of energy and confidence. Some succulent red fruit, a note of cocoa and bitter herbs, and a first-rate acidity make for a very fresh no added sulphites wine. Gentler and more engaging than ever, this wine from Escoda-Sanahuja has a long finish with a mineral and pithy aftertaste.

Zesty & Creamy

Located 50 km east from Saint-Émilion, the Barouillet family has been growing grapes for at least 8 generations in Pécharment, Monbazillac and Bergerac. Vincent Alexis, who joined his father in 2010, converted the vineyards to organic and is about to obtain the biodynamic certification. 

This charming and expressive white is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon, and Chenin that were grown 100% sulphur free on clay & calcareous soils.

There is a lightly oxidative note and a bready, lees-y back palate that bounces off the fruit which is at once fresh and zesty and creamy and opulent. Easy, fun and just a little bit wild.

Enjoy it by the glass and with white meats or poultry.

Salty & Fresh

“Acrollam” is “Mallorca” in reverse, because Barbara Mesquida likes to do her work in her own way, often “the other way round” from what is customary, escaping from the established canons. 

Acrollam Blanc is made with hand-harvested, old-vine, prensal blanc and giró ros. For the premsal, it undergoes a pre-fermentative maceration, carbonic maceration and fermentation with the skins, while the giró is pressed directly. Once the different varieties have been fermented separately, they blend them all together, using no sulphites throughout its production.

Acrollam Blanc is a serious, textural, white wine with aromas of fresh plants, herbs, and spices, with moderate alcohol and a medium-bodied palate that is tasty with a salty twist, dry and long. It is a white wine produced with low-intervention, in limited quantities, built to improve with time in bottle; the result is one of the highest expressions of white wine Mallorca has to offer.

The ACROLLAM BLANC label shows a woman who is searching for her identity, femininity ready to plunge into the sea, ready to live new adventures and to lead changes without relinquishing her personal way of being: without fear of the waves or the storm. A passion for life, for feeling caressed by the salt texture of our sea.

Pair this wine with cod with scallion-sesame butter.

Delivery timeline: It requires four full cases of each wine in order for us to build and fulfill four mixed cases. This process usually takes about 7-10 business days but may vary.

Red | Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvèdre

Red | Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah

This is one of the most exciting raw and natural wines ever produced. Un-fined. Unfiltered. Low sulphites. It's a beautiful, powerful blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged in concrete for 24 months, to preserve the natural fruit flavours. This blend shows powerful, ripe dark fruit, leather, black olives and an array of herbs and spices that linger well into the finish. This can easily be enjoyed on its own, but will just as well accompany hearty stews, game & well-seasoned grilled meat or vegetables.

3 bottles x Domaine Viret
Energie 2021 (Rhône, France)
Red | Syrah

From young vines of Syrah with a splash of Mourvèdre and tiny amounts Picpoul Noir, Vaccarèse, Muscardin, and Counoise, “Energie;” vinified and aged in a combination of cement and steel tanks for one year with no added sulfur. The long but gentle infusion-method of extraction gives this wine great clarity of line, with pure, ringing acidity and a tasteful spiciness that speaks more of the northern Rhône than the frequently coarse Syrah of these southerly zones; its name could hardly be more apt. Great to drink on it's own or to pair with light dinners.

Fresh & Spicy

When Bàrbara split from her family winery in 2012 to begin her project, she said that, along with the vineyards inherited from her mother, all she needed was a roof and a floor.  Trispol means “floor” in Mallorquìn, and this red wine is one of two top cuvées produced by Mesquida Mora. Trispol is the companion to her other cuvée Sòtil , which means “roof.”

Trispol is a cuvée made with the native grape callet, planted by her grandfather, and with cabernet and syrah, which were first introduced to Mallorca by Barbara's parents over 40 years ago in their historic Son Porquer vineyard. The vineyard has been farmed biodynamically since 2007.

Trispol is a complexly structured red wine. Like all of the special cuvées of this artisanal winery, Trispol is produced with low-intervention in limited quantities and is designed to improve in bottle.

After a manual harvest, the grapes macerate and ferment separately with indigenous yeasts before being blended. The wine is then racked partially into French and American oak, partly into a 5000L foudre. Aged for 1 year before bottling.

Spicy red fruit with touches of vanilla and cocoa and light pyracinic notes producing a wine that is full-bodied, fresh, long and persistent in the mouth.

Pair this wine with date-and-soy-braised short ribs, or miso-mushroom risotto.

Juicy & Fresh

Sincronia Negre is one of two complementary entry-level cuvées produced from biodynamically estate-farmed red grape varieties by Bàrbara Mesquida Mora. This wine is made with the grapes Callet, Gorgollasa, Mantonegro, Monastrell, Cabernet and Merlot.

As with all of her wines, Sincronia Negre is a mosaic recalling the blend of native and international grape varieties while also representing the history of her pioneering winemaking family. 

Following a manual harvest, each of the varieties undergoes a separate fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The wine is then blended and racked into two- and three-year-old French and American oak barrels for six months of aging. It is produced with low intervention and in limited quantities.

Sincronia Negre is a love letter to the rich mosaic of Mallorca’s diverse grape varietal makeup. This wine combines both freshness and power; with Mediterranean garrigue aromatics and a core of mouth-watering fruit destined to pair incredibly well with any food. It is a warm introduction to the soul and spirit of Mallorca, a joyous red table wine destined to elevate any meal or situation. 

Pair this wine with chorizo and shrimp paella.

Juicy & Fruity

Sincronia Blanc is one of two complementary entry-level cuvées produced from biodynamically estate-farmed white grape varieties by Bàrbara Mesquida Mora. As with all of her wines, Sincronia Blanc is a mosaic recalling the combination of grape varieties in the blend while also representing the history of her pioneering winemaking family.

Sincronia Blanc radiates the light and spirit of the island of Mallorca. The wine is a blend of the indigenous prensal blanc and giró varieties with chardonnay, that was first planted by Bàrbara's parents more than 40 years ago. Once the varieties have been fermented separately, they are blended to obtain the final coupage, and they are kept with the fine lees until just before bottling. It is produced with low intervention and no added sulfur dioxide.

Bright, aromatic, and elegantly textured, Sincronia Blanc remains both fresh and substantive at the same time, a testament to the incredible provenance of the vines and the expert handling by Bàrbara.

The notes of white fruits like apple and pear appear first, then giving way to sweeter sensations reminiscent of peach or melon, with a slight hint of coconut. In the mouth it is well-rounded, meaty, long and persistent, with a finish that is full but fresh.

Elegant & Lively

Cantine Barbera is located in Menfi, on the west coast of Sicily. The vineyards, that are farmed following organic and biodynamic practices, are about one mile from the Mediterranean Sea: an uncontaminated deep blue sea. The low cliffs and sandy dunes create a beautiful environment for the grapes to thrive, and are also protected by the Belice River Natural Reservation Fund.

NoTrix is a wine made with the grape Perricone, a red grape variety introduced to Sicily by the Greeks about 8th century B.C. At the beginning of the 21 century, the final extinction of the Perricone seemed inevitable: the area covered with Perricone was only about 192 hectares’, representing only a mere 0.30% of the vineyards cultivated in Sicily. Recently, a small number of vintners started to take care of old vineyards and to experiment with more modern winemaking techniques, while paying a great respect to the traditional heritage embodied by this fascinating grape variety. 

Marilena Barbera's commitment is to defend the existence of Perricone, to protect and respect the terroirs that give birth to this amazing variety, and to produce only high quality wines that represent the true identity of her home land.

NoTrix is a medium-bodied and very easy drinking red wine. It has a lively ruby color, with violet shades. To the nose, a playful bouquet of red berries and geranium flowers meets intense scents of fine herbs and sweet spices. It has firm but smooth tannins that enrich a medium-bodied palate, with notes of star anise and ginger that stand out against a persistent saline background.

This is the way Perricone is, and this is how Marilena likes this wine to be: no tricks and no frills, far from winemaking models that do not belong to Menfi’s wine tradition.

NoTrix pairs well with red meats, pasta dishes and cheeses. It is also an interesting companion to spicy fish soups and grilled tuna fish. Its delicate and direct palate can complement prosciutto crudo, fresh salami, and medium aged cheeses

From legendary winemaker Matthieu Barret of Domaine de Coulet in Cornas, Barret brings a completely new rosé experience to the bottle here.

Ours Brut is Matthieu Barret's beautiful sparkling wine made from organic and biodynamic Grenache and Gamay. Made with the méthode traditionnel, the Grenache was grown in the village of Roussas, in the Drôme; while the Gamay came from Eclassan, in the highlands of Ardéche.

The grapes were directly pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine aged for six months in stainless steel tanks before the prise de mousse, and stayed six months in bottle before the disgorgement.

With a beautiful and intense salmon red colour with orange hues in the glass, this ancestral has a fine and mesmerizing perlage. Tart, nutty and intensely spicy.  On the nose bitter oranges, grapefruit and blood oranges are loudly represented. Pomegranate and sour cherry are hardly inferior. Aromas of walnuts, hazelnuts and pecans give it a distinct note; and hints of orange blossom and orange zest give this ancestral softness and freshness. Ripe apples, caramelised quince and bread dough round it off.

The mousse spreads pleasantly. The perlage hits the nerve and makes the Ours Brut vibrant and refreshing. On the palate, the fruit remains discreetly in the background. Chalky and dry on the palate, the acidity kicks in just right and makes it seem leaner. In the aftertaste, bitter oranges and grapefruit with tart notes bloom, making it a great food companion.

Pair the Ours Brut with heirloom tomato salad with mint and feta, or with fried octopus with paprika-infused mayonnaise and boiled potatoes.

Floral & Spicy

Unlike many winemakers, Frederic Brouca is largely self-taught and took no formal courses on viticulture or winemaking.  His concept of growing grapes and winemaking focuses on reducing human intervention in the processes, and making it as natural as possible.

This Foulage Gaulois Rouge is Brouca's first Pinot Noir. It comes from a single vineyard in St. Chinian, Languedoc; and it has been aged in a mix of amphora and stainless steel.

Subtle aromas of cranberry and sweet cherry. Floral and spicy. Medium-bodied with ripe tannins and acidity to keep it alive. Structured and textured. Perfumed rather than overpowering.

Unfined, unfiltered with minimal sulfur added at bottling.

Floral & Fresh

Vitivinicola Fangareggi is located in the heart of the Lambrusco region, between the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Modena. Their ancestors have been making wine since the 19th century, and in 2004 the family decided to resume their winemaking tradition.

Specialized in making lambrusco, the family takes care of the whole production from vineyard to bottle. Fangareggi is right now in organic conversion and will obtain the certificate in 2023.

Made from a blend of Lambrusco di Sorbara, Fortana and Pinot Nero, this low-alcohol rosato frizzante is the perfect bubbly to pop and enjoy at any occasion. Rose petals, black cherry, vague reminiscences of bread crust, and lots of freshness. Pop and enjoy.

Andres Carull's family has been making wine in Alicante for decades. At a very young age, he already knew what he was going to dedicate himself to. However, a visit to Bordeaux in 2008 changed his course when he discovered natural wine; he decided to turn his winemaking towards this ‘old-but-new’ path.

The seed planted in Bordeaux in 2008 has now blossomed into a personal project dedicated to producing stripped-back, honest wines that truthfully express his countryside, heritage and people. Vibrant wines from living vines. Tragolargo Tinto is a delightfully easy drinking young red made from Monastrell grapes grown in Casa Balaguer Estate in Villena, Alicante.

On the nose, you'll find aromas of blackberry and strawberry, with some hints of eucalyptus and liquorice. Fresh and vibrant, on the palate Picofino is smooth, with structured yet soft tannins and a beautifully balanced acidity.

Enjoy it on its own or with a light dinner.

Joan Ramón Escoda has been shaking the pillars of winemaking in his home-country and abroad since the 90's. He is an absolute anarchist, a radical winemaker, a rock'n'roller and a grass-roots innovator; and his wines are everything but banal.

Sumoll, Garnatxa and Carignan come together in this complex and spicy blend. Les Paredetes ferments in stainless steel and ages for 14 months in neutral oak barrels. Expect lovely red fruit, fresh acidity, a slight smokey touch and a light finish armed with soft, tingly tannins.

Pair it with roasted red meats and cured cheeses.

Floral & Spicy

The main part of this wine is Cabernet Franc, a varitey which winemaker Joan Ramon Escoda daringly decided to complement it with a 20% of Parellada, a local white grape of great aromatic refinement. Harvested by hand and partially destemmed, the grapes were macerated and fermented together in clay amphorae using only indigenous yeasts. Then this natural red wine was aged for 7 months on lees in the amphorae.

Slightly raw and pleasantly wild, this wine could need some aeration to unfurl. Some earthy and mineral notes, evolving into a fleshy red fruit nuanced by flowers, herbs and spice. This blend of Cabernet Franc and Parellada is remarkably original. Delicately warm, but also full of energy and confidence. Some succulent red fruit, a note of cocoa and bitter herbs, and a first-rate acidity make for a very fresh no added sulphites wine. Gentler and more engaging than ever, this wine from Escoda-Sanahuja has a long finish with a mineral and pithy aftertaste.

Pair it with roasted red meats and cured cheeses.

Salty & Fresh

Mas del Gaio is the top white from Celler Escoda-Sanahuja. An old-vine expression from rustic limestone vineyards next to the winery, blending Garnacha Blanca, Macabeu, and Parellada. Garnacha Blanca and Macabeu are fermented together. Once everything is combined, the wine is aged mostly in large amphora and old French barrels. Mas del Gaio has aromas of stone fruit, lemon verbena, and fuzzy peach skins, with a long, fleshy and salty finish. Fantastic acidity and viscosity from the lees aging. Tropical too, with subtle notes of passion fruit.

Pair it with fish dishes and cured cheeses.

Light & Fruity

Elios was born from the passion of two young Sicilian friends, they joined together to develop their families’ farms and to bring them to their full potential after finishing their university studies. Elios prides itself on making minimum intervention, low sulfite wines with native Sicilian, organic grapes grown between Alcamo, Camporeale and Monreale; areas all located in the north-west part of Sicily. The wine making focuses on respect for the varietal, and aims to deliver an easy drinking, approachable style.

'Glou Glou' is a light red made from Nerello Mascalese grapes macerated only for 1 day on the skins and fermented exclusively in stainless steel tanks. This results in an uncomplicated, thirst-quenching red perfect to 'snack-on'. It's fresh, savoury and mineral, with aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherries and strawberries on the nose, and a nice combination of spices.

Enjoy Elios' Glou Glou by the glass or with a charcuterie board.

Spiced & Juicy

This red wine is made with Nero d'Avola grapes, one Siciliy's most popular grapes, and aged for 8 months in chestnut barrels. Elios' Modus Bibendi Rosso is unique in style: it's a lighter and more aromatic version of the grape. On the nose, it smells of fresh red fruit with hints of almonds and cloves. On the palate, it has a great acidity and smooth and soft tannins.

Pair this Nero d'Avola with tomato-based dishes such as pizza and pasta.

Aromatic & Mineral

This white wine is made from Grillo grapes grown in calcereous soils located in the area of Camporeale. On the nose, it smells of fresh grape berries, with hints of green tea leaves and baslcamic notes, and some Mediterranean herbs aromas such as sage, thyme and mint. On the palate, it has a pleasant freshness and a special minerality that leads to a remarkable drinkability.

Perfect to pair with fresh fish dishes and vegetables.

Waxy & Juicy

The Loire Valley has always had a special importance for Joan Ramón, as it has been key in his journey and evolution as a winemaker. As a consequence, he is madly in love with Chenin. This blind love for this white grape took him to plant some vines in Conca del Barberá, which resulted in a great success thanks to the cold and humid weather of the hills in Prenafeta. The high altitude makes possible the unbelievable: a juicy and mellow skin-contact wine with hints of caramel, citrus and earthy notes.

Pair Els Bassots with creamy cheeses and white meats.

Fruity & Earthy

Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara.

Hand-picked and hand sorted grapes from Leaning Post estate Senchuk Vineyard, placed with 100% whole-clusters in clay amphora with no sulphites added. This Pinot Noir was kept in amphora for 9 months.

A very complex nose of sugar beets, black olives, damp moss, seaweed, is layered over bright bing- cherry, raspberry and nutmeg that pushes itself forward in the glass. The palate shows wonderful softness and suppleness, with dried autumn-leaf, strawberry, cumin, green olive and freshly-turned soil. Balanced acidity, collides with smooth tannins, leading to a very long and complex finish. This is definitely Pinot at its dirtiest!
