In 2010, brother & sister duo Joana and António founded Maçanita Vinhos following an invitation from a local Douro family who had been inspired by the ambition and creativity of the sibling winemakers. While both contribute to the winery, the challenging Douro Valley has been Joana’s personal passion from the start. She even relocated with her children to the Porto area to be closer to the vineyards, allowing her to focus her renowned energy on growing her Douro career and nurturing Maçanita’s rising profile.

Os Canivéis Tinto hails from a collection of parcels in Carlão, Cima Corgo, with vineyards aged 80–92 years at 510 meters. Crafted from a blend of 11 traditional grape varieties, it reveals aromas of fresh fruit and dark chocolate. The palate is creamy on entry, framed by firm, enduring tannins and an elegant structure. With very limited production, Os Canivéis stands as a true Douro gem, showcasing the region’s artisanal winemaking traditions and meticulous attention to detail.

Pairs beautifully with dark meats, Asian cuisine, and spicy cheeses.

Sister’s Run is a bold, value-driven Australian wine brand founded by acclaimed winemaker Elena Brooks, whose nearly 30 vintages of global experience span celebrated projects including Dandelion Vineyards, Heirloom Vineyards, and Cien Y Pico in Spain. Crafting expressive, site-driven wines from regions such as Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Coonawarra, Elena has built an international reputation in a traditionally male-dominated industry while championing collaboration, mentorship, and greater inclusivity in wine. True to its playful motto — “for the boots worn in the vineyard and the heels worn to wine award dinners” — Sister’s Run balances approachability with serious craftsmanship, delivering regionally expressive wines with fine wine character at exceptional value.

The Old Testament vineyard is located in the heart of the Coonawarra. The resulting wine produced suggests ripe mulberry and blueberry aromatics with gentle notes of  shaved pencil and menthol on the nose. Soft red berry fruits begin to unfold on the palate, finishing with a spiced-liqueur like quality, carried by velvety tannins and perfectly judged acidity.

Heirloom Vineyards was founded in 2000 by Elena, a young winemaking student, and Zar, an eccentric wine judge, whose shared passion for wine—and their ensuing love story—became the foundation of the project. Through years of careful experimentation, they focused on cultivating the finest varietal clones under optimal conditions, guided by organic farming principles and a commitment to preserving old-world traditions for future generations. Today, Heirloom crafts wines from select South Australian vineyards, employing minimal intervention, highlighting provenance, purity of fruit, and expert winemaking to deliver benchmark-quality wines that offer exceptional value.

Sourced from hand-tended, old-vine Shiraz grown in the neighbouring vineyards of the McMurtrie Family in McLaren Vale, this wine opens with a layered bouquet of shaved white and liqueur chocolate, fresh herbs, fennel, and anise, complemented by ripe plums, dried fruits, and a symphony of freshly ground peppercorns—green, black, pink, and white. Subtle oak notes, reminiscent of molasses, linger in the background. On the palate, it begins velvet-like, then unfolds with a lush, plush texture and finely grained tannins. A long loop of flavours—from red and black currant to raisin, black olive, and tawny port—culminates in a dry, peppery, and savoury finish, delivering a full-bodied, mouth-filling, and enduring experience.

Complex & Powerful

Julien Bonneau, (Château Haut Grelot in the Blayais), and his friend Alexandre Lavigne, restaurateur in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, created in 2014 a range of wines, Grains d'Estuaire, from a 10 ha vineyard located in Saint-Bonnet-sur-Gironde, in the south of Charente-Maritime.

Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and produced at a yield of 40 hectoliters per hectare. The vines thrive in gravelly-sandy loam soils on the Agrières hillsides, near the estuary, which contribute to the wine’s distinctive character and structure. Vinification is carried out entirely in barrels, ensuring a meticulous expression of the grape and terroir. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 16 months in 225-liter barrels, allowing it to develop depth, complexity, and refined balance. On the nose, it reveals woody, vanilla, and toasty aromas complemented by the freshness of red fruits. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, with enveloping tannins and a long, aromatic finish.

Enjoy with red or game meats.

The Cortonesi family has been a cornerstone of the Montalcino region for decades. Established in the 1970s, their estate spans 138 acres in one of the area's most storied regions, with 19 acres dedicated to producing world-class Brunello. The family began commercially selling their wine in 1985, and today, third-generation winemaker Tommaso Cortonesi continues the tradition. Tommaso combines his long-standing family traditions with modern technologies to craft some of the finest expressions of Tuscan Sangiovese. 

Abundant in character, the Cortonesi Brunello di Montalcino La Mannella Riserva beautifully reflects the warm, sunny, and luminous 2019 growing season. Layers of dark plum, black cherry, and cassis are complemented by notes of sweet spice, tobacco, and balsamic herbs. Rich and generous yet remarkably focused, the palate balances concentration with freshness and precision. Firm, youthful tannins provide excellent structure and promise outstanding aging potential.
