These warming winter reds are as good as a cup of hot cocoa on a snowy day--maybe better!

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.

Each case includes three bottles of the following wines:

3 bottles x 2020 La Vinyeta Negre (Catalonia, Spain)

Red | Carignan, Grenache

Nestled in the heart of Empordà, La Vinyeta is a small production winery and olive grower driven by a young spirit of hard work and big dreams. The project’s origins can be found in two old Carignan and Grenache vineyards which Josep and Marta bought from an old winemaker from the town. They started producing their first bottles of wine in 2006. Today, La Vinyeta is one of the most highly regarded projects in the area, not just for the quality and diversity of the wines but also for their dynamism, humility, and commitment.

This is a red blend made from old vines of Carignan (65%), and Grenache (35%). The vineyards are organically farmed, without artificial irrigation.

In the glass, it has a cherry colour with violet tones. On the nose, it has a high aromatic intensity, combining aromas of ripe red fruit and lactic notes. On the palate, it is meaty, with nicely integrated tannins, medium-bodied, and with a great acidity.

Pairing suggestion: Pair this wine with chorizo and chickpea braised chicken thighs.

3 bottles x Cantine Barbera Lu Còri Nero D'Avola Menfi DOC 2021 (Sicily, Italy)
Red | Nero d'Avola

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.

A fascinating Nero d’Avola with a spicy and lively saline character, this wine truly represents the intriguing Sicilian terroir where it is produced. The wine has a bright ruby red color with intense shades of violet; its bouquet shows scents of mulberries and raspberries with a touch of light spices. On the palate it is fragrant and full, with soft velvety tannins that shape a vibrant, Mediterranean personality.

Pairing suggestion: Match this fresh red with rich meats, any kind of pasta with tomato based-sauces and pizzas!

3 bottles x Domaine Autrand Côtes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes 2019 (Côtes du Rhône, France)
Red | Grenache, Syrah

Christine Autrand-Aubert took over this 80 hectare estate from her parents in 2002. Originally it was a mixed farm also growing olives and lavender but from the 1990s it specialized in viticulture with Syrah becoming the main grape. She is now joined by her son Aurélien, who helps manage the estate, winemaking and export. 

A classic blend of Grenache and Syrah that shows an uncanny freshness through salinity and minerality. It's loaded with strawberry, cherry and red plum jam, black pepper and liquorice. On the palate, it has firm tannins and an excellent length.

Elegant and balanced, this cuvée is ready to drink, and it has an ageing potential of 4 to 6 years.

3 bottles x The Flower and The Bee Sousón D.O. Ribeiro 2020 (Galicia, Spain)
Red | Sousón

90 points - Robert Parker

When the flower and the bee meet, everything begins.

This wine is the starting point to understand and appreciate the complexity of the Galician terroir and its native grape varieties. Deliciously easy-drinking, Coto de Gomariz has wanted The Flower and the Bee to be enjoyed unapologetically!

Shimmering violet. Smoke- and spice-accented cherry pit, blackberry and floral scents are complemented by hints of liquorice and succulent herbs. Nicely concentrated yet lively as well, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavours that slowly unfurl through the back half. Closes long and subtly chewy, with firming tannins and repeating spice and floral notes.

Pairing suggestion: Enjoy on its own, or pair it with Spanish tapas.

Ricardo Carreiro founded Coto de Gomariz in the seventies, when he managed to return to his land after emigrating to South America like so many other Galicians. His dream was to make wines and restore Gomariz's prestige as a historical vineyard. Known as the "Golden Mile" of the Ribeiro since the 10th century, Gomariz is the oldest Viticultural Reserve in the Iberian Peninsula and has exceptional characteristics for growing grapes.

White | Albariño

X is for "xisto," the Galician spelling of schist, the dominant soil in the vineyards used for this wine:As Penelas and O Taboleiro. This is a rare bottling, as it is made mostly from Albariño, a grape that does not abound in the Riberio region. 

It has an expressive nose that goes beyond the pure varietal expression, and the palate reveals great elegance, intense and powerful, with developed flavours. They like ripe and flavourful fruit here but not over-ripeness. This comes from vines planted in 2001, and the wine is produced in a traditional way, bottled unoaked after time in contact with the lees.

Pairing suggestion: this wine will pair beautifully with any seafood and fish dishes, as well as with creamy cheeses.

Red | Brancellao, Sousón, Ferrol, Mencía

Abadía de Gomariz is a blend Sousón (50%) with some Brancellao, Ferrol and Mencía, all indigenous varieties of Galicia. The grapes grow in terraces and slopes surrounding the estate, where the soil is mainly granite and schist. Beautifully complex on the nose, the Abadía de Gomariz opens up with a dark fruit bouquet of black cherry, black currant and liquorice; all of which mingle with earthy notes of tree bark, finely crushed granite, wisps of smoke and botanicals. The wine reveals itself on the palate as a full-bodied wine, with moderate tannins and a special grip, signature of the complex soils of the vineyard.

Pairing suggestion: pair with game and flavourful dishes.

1 bottles x Coto de Gomariz Finca O Figueiral D.O. Ribeiro 2018 (Galicia, Spain)
White | Albariño, Godello, Torrontés, Treixadura
94 points by Robert Parker

O Figueiral, a plot that surrounds the estate, was the first plot restored by Carreiro after coming back from South America in the seventies. Made exclusively with grapes grown at O Figueiral, this white wine is a field blend of Treixadura, Lado, Albariño, Godello, Loureira, and a myriad of other indigenous varieties from Galicia. Fermentation kicks off in stainless steel tanks and finishes in 500L French oak barrels with batônnage, something that adds a special creaminess and texture to the wine. There is yellow fruit, balsam, spices, herbs and reminiscences of wet stones. The palate is compact and the flavours focused, pure and long. The palate is very focused, precise, and nicely chiseled, with delineation and minerality that make it very tasty and long. It has great freshness and balance with no trace of flavours from the ten months it spent in barrel.

Pairing suggestion: this wine will pair beautifully with any seafood and fish dishes, as well as with creamy cheeses.

The wines of Ribeiro aren’t seen quite as often in export markets as wines from other Spanish regions.  It is located along the northern banks of the Miño River, just to the east of Rías Baixas’ Condado do Tea.   While Ribeiro has an Atlantic influence, it is slightly warmer than Rías Baixas.  The Treixadura-dominant white wines are Ribeiro’s specialty, characterized by fullness and zippy acidity. 

Powerful flavours of herbs, pears and white peach, with some apricot and spice notes. Real presence, but not at all heavy. Just lovely fruit intensity, and amazing freshness.
