Mixed Cases

Delivery timeline: It requires two cases of each wine in order for us to build and fulfill two mixed cases. This process usually takes about 7-10 business days but may vary.

It is not a party if there aren't bubbles on the table. We have curated this special mixed case featuring two rosé sparkling wines handcrafted by two very special producers that we love: Tornatore from Sicily, and Matthieu Barret from Cornas. Each mixed case includes 3 bottles of each wine.

Sparkling | Nerello Mascalese

A rising star in the Etna region, Tornatore is becoming one of the region's biggest and most respected wineries. Their vineyards are located at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level on the north side of this active volcano.

This sparkling wine is made form Nerello Mascalese grapes. It is fine and elegant on the nose, with delicate and continuous bubbles. The nose is fragrant and harmonious, with pleasant aromas of wild strawberry, roses and red geranium. Fresh and savoury on the palate, it is creamy and has a hint of red berries.

Pairing suggestion: this is a perfect sparkling wine to enjoy at aperitif time, with charcuterie, salmon tartare and pizza.

3 bottles x Matthieu Barret Ours Brut Pétillant Rosé Extra Brut 2019 (Rhone, France)
Sparkling | Gamay, Grenache

From legendary winemaker Matthieu Barret of Domaine de Coulet in Cornas, Barret brings a completely new rosé experience to the bottle here. Ours Brut is Matthieu Barret's beautiful sparkling wine made from organic and biodynamic Grenache and Gamay. Made with the méthode traditionnel, the Grenache was grown in the village of Roussas, in the Drôme; while the Gamay came from Eclassan, in the highlands of Ardéche.

With a beautiful and intense salmon red colour with orange hues in the glass, this ancestral has a fine and mesmerizing perlage. Tart, nutty and intensely spicy.  On the nose bitter oranges, grapefruit and blood oranges are loudly represented. Pomegranate and sour cherry are hardly inferior. Aromas of walnuts, hazelnuts and pecans give it a distinct note; and hints of orange blossom and orange zest give this ancestral softness and freshness. Ripe apples, caramelised quince and bread dough round it off.

Pairing suggestion: pair the Ours Brut with heirloom tomato salad with mint and feta, or with fried octopus with paprika-infused mayonnaise and boiled potatoes.

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.

Domaine de Biéville is located in the village of Viviers (8km away from Chablis), and was founded in 1970 by Jean-Jacques Moreau. The domaine boasts 45 hectares of vineyards, all in one piece, something that is quite unique in Burgundy. Jean-Jacques chose this specific location to plant such a big vineyard because of its extraordinary sun exposure South/South East, like some Premiers Crus and its altitude benefiting from a mild climat.

1 bottle x Mesquida Mora ACROLLAM Blanc 2021 (Mallorca, Spain)
White | Premsal blanc, giro ros
92 points by Robert Parker

“Acrollam” is “Mallorca” in reverse, because Barbara Mesquida likes to do her work in her own way, often “the other way round” from what is customary, escaping from the established canons.

Acrollam Blanc is a serious, textural, white wine with aromas of fresh plants, herbs, and spices, with moderate alcohol and a medium-bodied palate that is tasty with a salty twist, dry and long. It is a white wine produced with low-intervention, in limited quantities, built to improve with time in bottle; the result is one of the highest expressions of white wine Mallorca has to offer.

Pairing suggestion: pair Acrollam with cod with scallion-sesame butter.

1 bottle x Mesquida Mora Trispol 2019 (Mallorca, Spain)
Red | Cabernet Sauvignon, Callet, Gorgollasa, Mantonegro, Merlot, Monastrell

When Bàrbara split from her family winery in 2012 to begin her project, she said that, along with the vineyards inherited from her mother, all she needed was a roof and a floor.  Trispol means “floor” in Mallorquìn, and this red wine is one of two top cuvées produced by Mesquida Mora.

Trispol is a complexly structured red wine. Like all of the special cuvées of this artisanal winery, Trispol is produced with low-intervention in limited quantities and is designed to improve in bottle. Spicy red fruit with touches of vanilla and cocoa and light pyracinic notes producing a wine that is full-bodied, fresh, long and persistent in the mouth.

Pairing suggestion: pair this wine with date-and-soy-braised short ribs, or miso-mushroom risotto.

Delivery timeline: It requires three cases of each wine in order for us to build and fulfill six mixed cases. This process usually takes about 7-10 business days but may vary.

Joan Ramón Escoda has been shaking the pillars of winemaking in his home-country and abroad since the 90's. He is an absolute anarchist, a radical winemaker, a rock'n'roller and a grass-roots innovator; and his wines are everything but banal. Have a taste of his unique wines with this mixed case. It includes 2 bottles of each of the following wines:

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Mas del Gaio 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
White | Grenache Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada

Mas del Gaio is the top white from Celler Escoda-Sanahuja. An old-vine expression from rustic limestone vineyards next to the winery, blending Garnacha Blanca, Macabeu, and Parellada. Garnacha Blanca and Macabeu are fermented together. Once everything is combined, the wine is aged mostly in large amphora and old French barrels. Mas del Gaio has aromas of stone fruit, lemon verbena, and fuzzy peach skins, with a long, fleshy and salty finish. Fantastic acidity and viscosity from the lees aging. Tropical too, with subtle notes of passion fruit.

Pairing suggestion: Pair it with fish dishes and cured cheeses.

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Les Paradetes 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
Red | Carignan, Grenache, Sumoll

Sumoll, Garnatxa and Carignan come together in this complex and spicy blend. Les Paredetes ferments in stainless steel and ages for 14 months in neutral oak barrels. Expect lovely red fruit, fresh acidity, a slight smokey touch and a light finish armed with soft, tingly tannins.

Pairing suggestion: Pair it with roasted red meats and cured cheeses.

2 bottles x Celler Escoda Sanahuja Coll del Sabater 2021 (Catalonia, Spain)
Red | Cabernet Franc, Parellada

The main part of this wine is Cabernet Franc, a varitey which winemaker Joan Ramon Escoda daringly decided to complement it with a 20% of Parellada, a local white grape of great aromatic refinement. Harvested by hand and partially destemmed, the grapes were macerated and fermented together in clay amphorae using only indigenous yeasts. Then this natural red wine was aged for 7 months on lees in the amphorae. Slightly raw and pleasantly wild, this wine could need some aeration to unfurl. Some earthy and mineral notes, evolving into a fleshy red fruit nuanced by flowers, herbs and spice. This blend of Cabernet Franc and Parellada is remarkably original. Delicately warm, but also full of energy and confidence. Some succulent red fruit, a note of cocoa and bitter herbs, and a first-rate acidity make for a very fresh no added sulphites wine. Gentler and more engaging than ever, this wine from Escoda-Sanahuja has a long finish with a mineral and pithy aftertaste.

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.

Energie 2021 (Rhône, France)
Red | Syrah

From young vines of Syrah with a splash of Mourvèdre and tiny amounts Picpoul Noir, Vaccarèse, Muscardin, and Counoise, “Energie;” vinified and aged in a combination of cement and steel tanks for one year with no added sulfur. The long but gentle infusion-method of extraction gives this wine great clarity of line, with pure, ringing acidity and a tasteful spiciness that speaks more of the northern Rhône than the frequently coarse Syrah of these southerly zones; its name could hardly be more apt. Great to drink on it's own or to pair with light dinners.

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: enjoy it with seafood.

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.

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.
