Mixed Cases

The Canary Islands are a hidden and forgotten archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Morocco. Since the 15th century, conquers from all over Europe have settled down, or at least passed by this remote enclave. They brought with them their culture, and winemaking was a big part of it. The Islands represent one of the best-preserved vestiges of vines!

Thanks to their volcanic origin, these grapes have been preserved over centuries. Since 1990, Bodegas Viñátigo has worked tireless recuperating the almost extinct grape varieties of the Islands. We have curated this Mixed Case with 4 different single-grape wines for you to discover the incredible viticultural heritage of the Canary Islands.

This mixed case includes 2 bottles of each wine:

Viñátigo Marmajuelo 2019.The marine freshness translates into a beautiful acidity and a vibrant salinity in the wine. On the nose, tropical aromas of passion fruit, pineapple and banana leaves intermingle. On the palate it's fresh, with great texture.

Viñátigo Malvasía Aromática 2018. By stopping the fermentation when there is still a bit of residual sugar, Viñátigo makes this beautiful and aromatic off-dry wine. On the nose, it has beautiful aromas of grapefruit and citrus, fresh salty peaches, bitter orange peel and rose petal notes. On the palate, the vibrant acidity cuts through the subtle sweet sensation.

Viñátigo Tintilla 2018. Tintilla is bright and juicy, deeply coloured and infused with aromas of tobacco leaves, dark chocolate, blackberries and black pepper notes. On the palate it is soft and silky, with firm tannins.

Fresh & Fruity

Situated in a very fresh zone of Languedoc, in Argelliers and Murles, Mas des Agrunelles cultivate organic and biodynamic vines. The estate was founded by Frédéric Porro and his wife, Stéphanie Ponson, who met in 1999 while studying oenology in Montpellier. It all began with experimentation, trial and error- but they quickly moved from organic vines to a fully functioning biodynamique vineyard and winery. They are proud to produce natural wines of high quality. This mixed case includes 6 bottles of Nicot Blanc and 6 bottles of Nicot Rouge.

Nicot Blanc 2019. Blend of Marsanne and Grenache Blanc, this wine has a biodynamic structure with fruit and freshness on both the nose and the palate. The wine comes together in natural harmony to create a fruity, slightly yeasty wine that is both easy going and delicious to drink. Fantastic on it’s own, or with a cheese plate.

Nicot Rouge 2018. Blend of Grenache and Syrah, coming from a north-facing plot called Poujol and an east-facing terroir called Saules. The wine is aged in concrete tanks and ferments with indigenous yeasts. It's a soft and delicate red on the nose, with some subtle veggie notes and red fruity aromas, with a hint of rusticity. On the palate, the acidity is on point with tannins that are velvety and soft. Perfect to be enjoyed on it's on or with tapas.

This mixed case includes 2 bottles of each wine:

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 Chardonnay 'The Fifty' VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. This wine is the epitome of Chablis meets Ontario. The nose bursts with lemon zest, aniseed, green apple and toasty lees. Fresh lemon, lemon curd, licorice, and more bright green apple is all tied together with crisp acidity and a strong mineral note. This wine will age well for the next 5-8 years. Try with creamy cheeses, sole meunière, and roasted chicken.

Leaning Post Rosé VQA Niagara Peninsula 2019. Bright and refreshing with a pale colour and great fruit. The nose has watermelon, sour cherry, raspberry, and beautiful floral orange blossom with a fresh juicy palate to round it out. This bright, refreshing Rosé was built for warm summer days and good company!

Leaning Post 'The Fifty' Pinot Noir VQA Niagara Peninsula 2019. A blend of fruit from 5 different Vineyards from 3 different sub-appellations, this wine explodes out of the glass with wonderful raspberry, kirsch, earth and rose-petals on the nose, followed by tobacco leaf, herb and mushroom immediately behind it.

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. The finish is long and delectable. This wine will age well for the next 3-5 years. Try with brie, camembert, your favourite burger, or anything on your plate this Thanksgiving.

Leaning Post Cuvée Winona VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. This blended wine (89% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc) over-delivers massively for the price. The nose is pronounced with dried cranberries, lavender, licorice, cocoa, cedar, and blueberries that the palate replicates and follows with raspberry, vanilla, and rich tannins. It is perfectly drinkable now but will age well over the next 5-8 years. Great with burgers, cured meat, and hard cheese.

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

Two true Niagara Villages wines focused on a blend of organic, biodynamic and uncertified but sustainably farmed vineyards throughout the Peninsula with a focus on Quarry Road (Vinemount Ridge), Cherry Road (Twenty Mile Bench) & the Kocsis - Red Foot Vineyard (Lincoln Lakeshore). 

Mostly wild ferments with a 12 month élévage in 228 litre French oak barrels. A small portion of new oak, but mostly 1-3 year old barrels. 

The 2018 vintage in Niagara marks a full and warm growing season, with just the right amount of heat and rain, all at the right times. A vignerons dream, but a bankers nightmare as crops came in showing low yields with great quality. 

These Crew Sauvage 2018s have a remarkable balance of concentration and weight, while remaining fresh and lifted in their youth.

This mixed case includes 2 bottles of each wine:

Leaning Post Merlot Vin Nature Wismer-Homestead Vineyard VQA Twenty Mile Bench 2018. The Merlot Vin Nature 2018 is a truly deep and fascinating wine, it reminds us of walking through the pine and mossy dampness of a forest path by a lake in the Canadian Shield on a cool autumn evening, stopping to pick some wild-blueberries and noticing in the background a roaring fire.

Leaning Post Gamay Natural Wismer-Armbrust Vineyard VQA Twenty Mile Bench 2019. The depth of this wine was structured by the warm, but not hot summer and autumn. Leaning Post believes this is the best Gamay they have made to date! The terroir of Wismer-Armbrust Vineyard really shines through, with loads of garrigue, spice and leather, with intense blackberry, cherry and pepper on the nose. The mouth is complimentary showing mulberry, pomegranate, lilac, smoked sausage and fennel seed. The finish is fantastically long and smooth.

Leaning Post 'The Freak' Pinot Noir VQA Lincoln Lakeshore 2019. 100% whole-clusters in clay amphora with no sulphites added. This Pinot Noir was kept in amphora for 11 months. It has a very complex nose of sugar beets, black olives, damp moss, seaweed, is layered over bright bing-cherry, raspberry and nutmeg that pushes itself forward in the glass. The palate shows wonderful softness and suppleness, with dried autumn-leaf, strawberry, cumin, green olive and freshly-turned soil. Balanced acidity, collides with smooth tannins, leading to a very long and complex finish. This is definitely Pinot at its dirtiest! And we like it!

The Baud estate dates back to 1742, today the 9th generation manages the winery. Siblings Clementine and Bastien, both under 30, are making some of the best value wines in the area. Jura is that narrow valley in the remote hills between Burgundy and Switzerland, which millions of years ago was covered by an Ocean and today still bares many of the fossils from that time. If you kick a stone in a Jura vineyard, it will probably be a fossil.
