“Orange” wine (skin-fermented white) is an ancient technique for making wine and we continue to explore its potential. Harvested on September 30, 2022, the grapes were destemmed, into concrete tanks where it went through a spontaneous fermentation. It remained in concrete and aged on skins for 25 days, then it was gently pressed into clay amphora (35%) and stainless steel (65%) for aging. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphite additions.

This Clockwork opens with vibrant aromas of elderflower honey, mandarin oranges, lemon curd, sweet Thai basil, and lemongrass. On the palate, it mirrors these notes while adding layers of honey, cream, and lemon, all carried by a rich, oily texture. A bright acidity, fine tannins, and a beautiful texture shape a dynamic finish that evolves as the wine warms. It pairs exceptionally well with briny or grilled seafood, such as oysters.

Delivery timeline:
We require one full case of each wine in order to build and fulfill 4 mixed cases. This process usually takes about 10-15 business days but may vary.

Cordero San Giorgio is a new beginning in Oltrepò Pavese for three siblings who grew up surrounded by their family’s vines at the legendary Vietti Estate in Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. The Oltrepò Pavese is a hilly triangle of land in Lombardy, embraced by Piedmont, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna. A territory dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the culture of wine for centuries: a land of both cultural and gastronomic encounter and exchange. 

This mixed case includes the following wines:

3 bottles x Cordero San Giorgio APSÛ Oltrepò Pavese DOC Chardonnay 2024.

Made from selected plots located in Santa Giuletta and Roca de' Giorgi, this Chardonnay ferments in stainless steel tanks and sees no malolactic fermentation. As fermentation finishes, half of the wine is racked into wooden barrels, where it ages for about six months.

The wine opens up as fresh and fragrant, with a bouquet of citrus notes, tropical fruit and white flowers. It is vibrant with a pleasant acidity balanced by the savoury and mineral finish.

3 bottles x Cordero San Giorgio Tiamat Pinot Nero dell’Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2023.

A Pinot Nero that is an expression of finesse. Elegant aromas and delicate on the palate.

Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute for emergencies - like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like! 

A classic Old World blend displaying lively primary aromatics, layered with subtle notes of fennel and tar that add lift and complexity. The palate is superbly balanced, with each varietal complementing the other to achieve both roundness and definition. Grenache leads with vibrant fruit, followed by the gentle pepper spice of Shiraz, all supported by the firm structure of Mourvèdre. The finish lingers gracefully with a hint of sweet oak spice.

Try this versatile red with equally expressive cuisines like curry pork burgers dressed with spicy ketchup or a rich cassoulet.

Soft & Peppery

Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer in his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques.

The Morgon Côte du Py is Stéphane Aviron’s most structured, earthy wine, that is drinkable now and can age wonderfully for as much as ten years. The grapes are sourced from the slopes of an 1150-foot inactive volcano that is regarded as one of the top terroirs in all of Beaujolais. Vines face due south on a well-pitched hillside of volcanic soils with schist and blue stone.

The nose is refined and captivating, offering aromas of ripe berries layered with earthy and mineral undertones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and balanced, showcasing vibrant crushed berry flavors that lead into a firm, well-defined finish. It pairs beautifully with red meats, hearty stews, French onion soup, soft cheeses, and dark chocolate.

Rich & Tannic

Fleurie is one of the top crus in Beaujolais producing wines of deep fruit and great structure. Stéphane Aviron’s Fleurie is sourced from a family owned hillside vineyard on the western side of the appellation, “La Mandone.” This famed vineyard features very steep slopes with granite soils that requires all work and harvesting to be done by hand. The vines here are very old, between 55 and 90 years in age. 

A true Burgundy in many ways. This Fleurie shows very similar characteristics to a fine Moulin à Vent with abundant ripe almost macerated fruit and rich, structured tannins. This is a truly age-worthy Beaujolais.

The Winery of Good Hope is more than just a winery - it's an approach. Along with making lively and approachable wines, this is a project that's fully accredited for environmental, ethical, and social upliftment practices. Wines are made in the prestigious wine-making region of Stellenbosch, in South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. 

Sourced from two mature Syrah vineyards, rooted in the decomposed granite soils of the Helderberg mountainside overlooking False Bay. These vineyards thrive in the cooling breezes of the famed Cape Doctor - the south-easterly wind that sweeps in from the nearby ocean. The rocky, gravelly terrain fosters balance and fine texture in the wines, which display restrained fruit, delicate spice, and subtle fynbos nuances.

This refreshing Cape Syrah opens with fragrant notes of rosemary and lavender layered over crushed black pepper and vibrant plum fruit. Elegant and softly textured yet carrying impressive intensity, it's medium-bodied with a lingering, tapering finish.

The Abreu Callado family’s winemaking legacy dates back to the late 19th century, rooted in Portugal’s Alentejo region and strengthened by visionary leadership and community spirit.

Today, Fundação Abreu Callado carries this heritage forward, producing high-quality wines that capture the unique terroir of Alentejo while honouring a deep commitment to the local community.

Brilliant ruby in colour, this wine offers inviting aromas of ripe red fruits, with vibrant notes of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it's fresh and beautifully balanced, with a harmonious interplay of fruit and acidity that makes it exceptionally food-friendly. Elegant yet approachable, making for a highly versatile and gastronomic wine.

Domaine du Bollenburg is an independent, family-run winery in the heart of Alsace, with roots dating back to 1887. It was in 1947 however, that the Clos came to the Meyer family, who refocused the estate on producing high-quality wines that honour and preserve Alsatian cultural identity. Situated on Bollenberg - the largest limestone hill in the canton of Rouffach - the vineyard spans 25 hectares, showcasing the unique terroir of the region. 

This Sylvaner opens with delicate botanical and mineral nuances, revealing aromas of dried chamomile, thyme leaves, and a subtle hint of blanched almonds. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, with the grape’s naturally crisp acidity balanced by soft notes of beeswax and a touch of salty brine. The finish is long and tangy, reminiscent of the elegant, savoury lift of a fine Fino Sherry.

A dry, food-friendly white that shines as an apéritif and pairs well with fish and delicate white meats.

Creamy & Zesty

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 vintage allowed Chardonnay to ripen very slowly and evenly, gaining full flavour while keeping the balance of fresh crisp acidity. Immediately on the nose there is a wave of pineapple, lemon-curd, lime- leaf, and apricot pith, followed immediately by sea salt and wet-stone minerality. The palate brings beautiful richness but still balance with white peach, spice, and lemon-meringue mingling with crème fraiche, flint and roasted almond. The finish is silky smooth and exceptionally long but is eventually overtaken by wet-stone and crisp acidity. A truly beautiful example of Niagara Chardonnay!

Pair this wine with meaty fish like halibut or cod. Shellfish including lobster, shrimp, crab and scallops work stunningly with this Chardonnay.
