Rich & Smooth

A small property of 9 hectares, Quinta da Colmaça has been producing Vintage Port and LBV independently since the start of the 21th century. 

This dry red wine is a true expression of Portugal. The grapes are manually harvested in small crates and de-stemmed by hand. Tradition at it's best and definitely a must try!

A blend made from Touriga Francesa (40%),  Tinta Roriz (25%), Tinta Barroca (25%) and Touriga Nacional (10%), Quinta da Colmaça Douro DOC is rich in flavour and colour. It shows aromas of dark plum, cassis, leather and spice on the nose; while the palate follows with good tannic structure, plush fruit and smooth finish. 

Try this wine with a cheese board, and don't forget about the blue cheese. The saltiness of the cheese versus the flavour of the wine is an exceptional pairing.

Zesty & Mineral

Keint-He Winery & Vineyards is a boutique winery located in Prince Edward County. The winery has a strong focus on varietals that are typically grown in Burgundy, specifically Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; through which they truly express the best of the County with wonderful individual expressions. Keint-He’s approach to winemaking is as down-to-earth as it gets and their quality is second to none.

This Chardonnay is made from fruit grown in the Wismer Vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula. The nose exhibits wet stone and minerality. The mouth is clean, fresh and shows a rounded minerality. Evidence of a well integrated 10 months in French oak barrels.

Fruity & Juicy

The dream of four French partners in Argentina's Mendoza Province. The Malbec vines grow in the southwest of San Rafael, an oasis surrounded by large canyons and crossed by two rivers. This Malbec opens up with red fruits, black raspberry and tones of fresh leather. It's chewy and sumptuous on the palate, with firm tannins and a very well balanced acidity.

This is the perfect BBQ wine, but it is also capable of so much more! Rich meats, stews and braises are a great match, or try leaner meats with fruity and hearty sauces such as pork tenderloin with prunes and red wine jus. Another favourite, enjoy alongside a prime rib roast!

Fresh & Zesty

The Vitas Winery has been in the family since 1937, for four generations. Despite its French origin, Pinot Grigio has been cultivated in Friuli since the 18th century, where it has found an ideal habitat to produce wines of exceptional quality.

This dry-farmed Friulian Pinot Grigio is different in style than its counterpart from Veneto. The wine wears a straw yellow robe with elegant copper-gold overtones. Its bouquet is elegant and intense, with hints of acacia flowers, dry hay, walnut kernel, yellow peach and golden apple, intertwined with fresh and mineral notes. On the palate, it promises a concentrated palate full of fragrant white peaches, tangerines, and a spritzy minerality.

A perfect casual sipper, or to complement antipasti, fried fish or vegetables and light pasta dishes.

Bright & Juicy

At the very heart of the Rhône Valley, at the northerly tip of the Southern Rhône, lie the vineyards of Grignan-Les-Adhémar.

Le Devoy checks in as a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. It has terrific notes of forest floor, cracked pepper, flowers and darker berry fruits as well as medium-bodied richness, an elegant, supple texture and notable purity of fruit. This wine has considerable charm and appeal and makes for a great everyday bottle.

Pair this wine with just about anything!

Rich & Bold

Finca Aylés is located in the northeast of Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, halfway between Madrid and Barcelona.  The wine project of the Ramón Reula family began its journey in the 1980s and ended with the reunification of various properties that had belonged to the Finca Aylés since the Middle Ages. Today, Aylés is one of the largest private historical farms in Aragón.  

Attractive deep cherry red in colour. The wine displays a pronounced intensity on the nose, well defined, with an extraordinarily complex and wide range of aromas; think dark red fruits, ink, and spices.  On the palate the wine is clearly defined by its elegance and ripe fruit intensity. It's harmonious and well balanced leading to a rich finish. 

It's the perfect wine to pair with rich meats and anything on the BBQ.

Aromatic & Spicy

Blank Canvas is the personal wine range of husband and wife team, Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson, MW. With a focus on Marlborough, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Pinot Noir from Central Otago, the Blank Canvas wines are exciting, small-batch and increasingly recognised as the avant-garde of New Zealand wine.

A wine of wonderful, pure aromatics this Gruner exemplifies classic notes of mandarin and ripe peach with an underlying trace of white pepper. The oak featuring in the wine is only obvious if you are told about it – it is there to provide richness and weight to the mid-palate, which is why Blank Canvas chose large French oak puncheons to do the job. A model vintage in Marlborough provided warm sunny days and cool nights which enabled all-important retention of acidity and ripeness of fruit. The result is a well-structured, luscious rendition of an Austrian classic.

With its citrus and hints of white pepper, this wine is a beautiful dish with ceviche, any grilled white fish or chicken infused with orange or paired with an orange and almond salad.

Fresh & Juicy

The Cortonesi family has owned the La Mannella farm in Montalcino for decades and are devoted to the production of Brunello di Montalcino. This wine, Lèonus, is a humble but mighty Toscana IGT made from grapes that are in fact declassified Brunello grapes, from vineyards in Montalcino.

It is one of the best value wines from the area. ​This Rosso Toscano is juicy and fresh. Full of red cherries and dark berries on the nose, with a delicate astringency on the palate. It has such a great balance and it drinks so well that it's the perfect everyday wine.

This wine pairs brilliantly with dishes prepared with tomato sauce and herbs, such as lasagna or pizza. It's also great with antipasti (olives, cured meats, pecorino cheese), and simply roasted meats or chicken.

Rich & Sweet

A small property of 9 hectares, Quinta da Colmaça has been producing Vintage Port and LBV independently since the start of the 21th century. Port is Portugal's flagship: an aged, sweet fortified wine that comes in a wide range of styles, largely based on ageing techniques.

Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a ruby Port from a single year, chosen for its high quality and bottled after aging for four to six years in wood. Quinta da Colmaça's is a blend of Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional; aged for 36 months in barrels. This is a very sweet and full-bodied wine, characterised by a big tannic structure and medium-high acidity. The nose is all about aromas of dried cherries, plums, raisins, chocolate and spices like cinnamon.

Port can be a very fun wine to play with. If you prefer your food pairing salty, try this wine with a cheese board, and don't forget about the blue cheese. The saltiness of the cheese versus the sweetness of the wine is an exceptional pairing. If you have a sweet tooth, this pairs well with most desserts.

Rich & Bold

The Cortonesi family has owned the La Mannella farm in Montalcino for decades and are devoted to the production of Brunello di Montalcino. Tommaso Cortonesi’s 2015 Brunello is a super expressive wine. It is deep and dark both in colour and aromas. The nose is all about spice, think fragrances of pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves; combined with dark fruit aromas. On the palate, the tannins are grippy yet smooth and amazingly structured. A powerful and beautiful wine.

We recommend to pair this Brunello with bold meals: oxtail, a beautiful steak, rich stews or game paired with mushroom sauces. The spicy aromas of the wine will enhance the flavours of the food.

Mineral & Zesty

A collaboration between Nicholas Pearce and Will Predhomme to create wines from their favourite regions. This Pinot Gris is made from vines planted in Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon.

Brilliant straw colour with youthful yet intense aromas of white peach, stone fruit, green apple and citrus. Bright acidity and freshness on the palate with a round mouthfeel but it stays surprisingly refreshing. Distinctly Oregonian; a clean, fresh style of Pinot Gris.

This Pinot Gris is zesty and fresh, and pairs amazingly with sushi, ceviche and even richer meals like fish and chips! It is also beautiful with white meats, such as chicken and turkey.

Powerful & Juicy

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.

The 2017 vintage was very strange, with cold and rainy weather until late-August. Then the clouds parted and the sun began shining, allowing Leaning Post to hang grapes and ripen them fully late into the season. As a result the intensity and concentration on this wine is unparalleled with strawberry, blackcurrant, mulberry and blackberry aromas exploding from the glass.

The lifted palate frames intense flavours of blueberry, plum, cocoa and coffee backed up by savoury tobacco leaf, anise and oregano notes. Exceptional weight and substance combine with powerful yet soft tannins creating a wonderful texture that brings you to an unbelievable, lingering finish.

For pairing this Merlot, think: roast turkey, beef short rib, or a rustic ratatouille! For braised meat pairings, try complementing Merlot’s boisterous fruit notes with chimichurri sauce.

Fresh & Zesty

Zuani is a family-owned winery in the Collio DOC of Friuli Venezia Giulia specializing in terroir-focused white wines. Set in the hills of Giasbana in the far northeastern corner of Italy, the influence of bordering Austria and Solvenia can be felt on the estate and sensed through the style of Zuani's wines.

This Pinot Grigio's elegant and refined aromatic profile shines with a tangy and mineral taste. It's dry, with brilliant acidity and a bitter almond finish.

Bring out the antipasto and a grilled fish for this one! Also pairs well with risottos and baked vegetables.

Spiced & Round

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.

This blended wine over-delivers massively for the price. An amazingly intense nose of plum, strawberry, blackberry, cassis and mulberry is layered over a backdrop of tobacco-leaf, cracked white pepper, lavender, and liquorice. On the palate, the intensity continues by adding wild-blueberries, freshly-turned earth and bacon with wisps of moss, raspberry and mocha fading in and out draped over powerful but soft tannins. It is immediately satisfying to drink now with a good decant, but it will certainly age well over the next 5-8 years.

Great with burgers, cured meat, and hard cheese.
