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

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!

This mixed case includes 6 bottles of 2018 Crew Sauvage Chardonnay and 6 bottles of 2019 Crew Sauvage Pinot Noir.

Emblematically Niagara, these two wines are made with organic, biodynamic and sustainably-farmed grapes from the Peninsula with a focus on three star vineyards, Quarry Road (Vinemount Ridge), Cherry Road (Twenty Mile Bench), and the Kocsis - Red Foot Vineyard (Lincoln Lakeshore).

The 2018 vintage in Niagara marks a full and warm growing season, with just the right amount of heat and rain. The crops came in showing low yields with great quality. A vigneron's dream!

These Crew Sauvage have a remarkable balance of concentration and weight, while remaining fresh and lifted in their youth.

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!

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 mixed case includes 1 bottle of each wine:

Leaning Post Piquette 2020. The grapes we used gave us a wonderful light-pink colour and a bright, fruity nose. The nose has vibrant cranberry, sour cherry, and raspberry, layered over funky, yeasty aromas. On the palate, cranberry meets watermelon and honeysuckle with an amazing bread-like middle and extremely refreshing, bright acid on the finish. It is pink, cloudy, super-refreshing and uber-delicious! Think of this as baby-Pet-Nat meets heritage-cider meets hard-seltzer!

Leaning Post Pét Nat VQA Niagara Peninsula 2020. The intense aromatics of this wine leap from the glass, lifted by beautiful, creamy bubbles. Explosive aromas of fresh mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, fresh ginger, and notions of nutmeg and honeysuckle immediately engage the olfactory senses.The palate echoes the nose, but also brings in mango, lychee and rose-petal with the light citrus and floral components wiping through the background. A rich mouthfeel is brought on with this warmer vintage as well as the lees in bottle. Serve well chilled. Pour immediately.

Leaning Post Riesling VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. The 2018 Riesling is the epitome of what makes bench Riesling great. It shows beautiful lemon, lime, and stone fruit aromas with a touch of honeysuckle followed but intense minerality. The palate replays the nose with some added honeydew melon and spice all balanced by crisp acidity with a fresh finish reminiscent of fallen leaves. The wine will age well for the next decade.

Leaning Post Sauvignon Blanc VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. At Leaning Post they like Sauvignon Blanc to reflect their unique terroir and this wine shows it in spades. They picked early to preserve the beautiful mango, passionfruit, and gooseberry aromatics that we all love about the grape. The palate has a fresh acidity with notes of kiwi, gooseberry, and passionfruit as well as a pleasant flinty finish.

Leaning Post Rosé VQA Niagara Peninsula 2020. The nose has vibrant red fruits such as, sour cherry, raspberry, watermelon with complimentary savoury notes with hints of floral orange blossom. The palate supports the nose with rich texture and a delicate finish. 

Leaning Post Gamay Wismer-Armbrust Vineyard VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. The depth of this wine was structured by the warm summer and wet autumn. This wine stays true to the Leaning Post style and terroir of Armbrust Vineyard demonstrates lots of earth, mushroom, and undergrowth on the nose which is complimented by blackberry and cherry fruit with some beautiful freshly picked lavender. In the mouth there is lots of beautiful beet, blackberry, kirsch, and cracked pepper. 

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.

Mineral & Crisp

At barely 30 years old, Stéphane Riffault is turning out Sancerre bottlings that are the envy of many producers twice his age. Les Chasseignes comes from vines just north of the village of Sury-en-Vaux, and is named for the shallow limestone soils that give the wine its tension and intense minerality.

This is textbook Sancerre - racy and bright but with a power and persistence that can surprise given its subtle character. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and barrels, it has inviting aromas of lemongrass accompanied by wet stone and wild yeast. The bright core of lychee and sweet yellow bell pepper is wrapped in flinty minerals. Refreshing, well structured and appealingly balanced!

Perfect with white meats and grilled fish.

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 is a classic Bordeaux blend: 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon & 5% Muscadelle. It's a floral, crisp and elegant wine that offers exotic fruit aromas: grapefruit, gooseberry and wild herbs that intermingle with ample citrus fruit on the palate. It has a generous weight, roundness and a perfect balance that let's you savour every drop.

Perfect to drink by itself or pair with seafood, chicken, fresh salads and cheese boards.

Keint-He Portage Pinot Noir Rosé VQA Prince Edward County 2019. Made from 100% estate Pinot Noir. With a little bit of French funk on the nose, this is a dry wine that still manages to be juicy. Intense flavours of strawberry and cotton candy. Food and patio friendly - enjoy with summer salads, grilled chicken and salmon.

Keint-He Voyageur Chardonnay, VQA Niagara Peninsula 2016. This classic Niagara Chardonnay has aromas of lime, green apple and blossoms with undertones of fresh baked bread and spice. Citrus is carried through to the palate with the crisp acidity which also lends itself to the metallic and mineral notes. This wine has a very long, creamy finish derived from the yeast contact and frequent bâtonnage.

Keint-He Chardonnay Greer Road Vineyard VQA Prince Edward County 2018. This single vineyard, unfined and unfiltered wine boasts a nose of pear, apple and mineral notes, all working in harmony with lightly toasted spices.

Freshly crushed ripe berries continue on the palate, with dried leaf, minerality and spice in the background.

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.

Earthy & Juicy

The French have a very beautiful expression for wines like this, they call it “vin de soif”, which essentially means a wine that is measured by the purity, honesty and, especially, by the joy and refreshment it provides. “La Pinada” is just that kind of wine, it showcases the fruit, freshness and balance of a genuine single varietal Bobal. The grapes are exclusively sourced from a single parcel called La Pinada planted in 1958, growing on alluvial and clay soils.

With a fresh and fruit-forward nose, the wine displays aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, blossom, and a hint of earthy minerality. On the palate it is juicy, focused and well balanced, with a crunchy acidity and some light drying tannins.

Enjoy this vin de soif with just about any dish.

Mineral & Citrus

The Bertholliers come from a long wine-making tradition; growers, owners and winemakers for several generations dating back to 1850. Today, brothers Denis and Didier own several parcels on the southernmost and steepest parts of the Savoie hills whose abrupt slopes, too difficult to work on, had been abandoned by their forefathers at the beginning of the 20th century. But this is the terrain where the grapes thrive.

Made from 50 year-old vines of Jacquère. Nose of white flowers and citrus fruit, white peach and lemon. Beautifully fresh, mouth-watering citrus and mineral palate with a certain salinity.

The perfect pairing for cured meats and rich fish dishes.

Juicy & Spiced

Keint-He’s approach to winemaking is as down-to-earth as it gets and their quality is second to none.

This Pinot Noir is a very versatile wine given it’s acidity and low tannin. Pinot Noir pairs particularly well with duck, chicken, pork, and mushrooms.

Creamy & Fresh

Bright lemony acidity on the palate, round mouthfeel, & refreshing. A clean, fresh, & distinctly Ontarian-style Chardonnay.

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.

Zesty & Mineral

Cantina Bolzano, based in the town of Bolzano, traces its roots to two of Alto Adige’s most historic cooperatives: Santa Magdalena, est. 1930 and Cantina Gries, est. 1908. After deciding to merge in 2001, Cantina Bolzano was created.

The village of Bolzano is located in the middle of a valley basin surrounded by hilly vineyards that grow from 200 meters above sea level up to 1000. This elegant wine comes from selected vineyards around Bolzano and really delivers with fresh, floral aromas and a nice acidity. Expect golden delicious apples, pear; and a light scent of peaches and pineapples on the nose and palate.

A wine like Pinot Blanc is best suited to foods with more subtle flavoring. It will match up well with soft cheeses, salads with cream dressings and flaky fish.
