Organic, Biodynamic & Natural

Fragrant & Aromatic

The Puiggros family has been producing wines from their own vineyards in Odena since 1843 for friends and family, however their wines have only been available commercially since 2008. Working exclusively with Garnatxas, the family came to realize that their traditional techniques and special terroir were something worth sharing with the rest of the world.

Imprevisible is an orange wine made from Grenache Blanc and aged for five months in amphorae. This wine is very special because it embraces a more oxidative style, reminiscent of Vin Jaune from Jura. This is incredibly unique and is contrary to the reductive style seen in most skin contact wines. It’s truly stunning and gastronomic on both the nose and palate. Impresivisible has a gorgeous amber orange colour. On the nose, it has beautiful notes of plum, fig and citrus peel; clementine and grapefruit, intermingled with medicinal herbs, nuts and spices; almond blossom, eucalyptus, thyme and clove. On the palate, it is well structured and medium-bodied. It is nicely balanced, beautifully tannic, with a long lasting finish of dried fruits and nuts.⁠

It's a perfect pairing for cheese and charcuterie and maybe some finer, elegant vegetable dishes. 

Floral & Fresh

Unlike many winemakers, Frédéric Brouca is largely self-taught and took no formal courses on viticulture or winemaking.  His concept of growing grapes and winemaking focuses on reducing human intervention in the processes, and making it as natural as possible.

The Champs Pentus Blanc is a Roussanne dominant blend with Grenache Blanc, grown organically on hillside vineyards in the outskirts of the Faugères appellation. After being hand-harvested, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. A long and slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels (only 20% of the juice!), enhances the aromas and the flavour. 

Medium gold in color, on the nose the Champs Pentus Blanc is highly floral, with aromas of candied quince and beeswax. On the palate, it is light to medium bodied, but with lush texture and a honeyed aftertaste. It has a lovely fresh bitterness, apricot skin-like acidity and a playful and airy finish. 

This Roussanne pairs nicely with flavoured dishes: thai roast chicken thighs or spicy squash and basil pasta.

Creamy & Fresh

3XP (Trois-X-P) - Pearce | Predhomme | Pender - is a small-production Niagara Peninsula Chardonnay collaboration between négociants Nicholas Pearce & Will Predhomme with vigneron Paul Pender. This wild ferment Chardonnay is 100% certified organic & biodynamic and is produced with minimal intervention.

We strive to show the delicacy, tension, & purity of expression of Ontario-grown Chardonnay with this small-production collaboration.  Brilliant straw colour, youthful, light-intensity aromas of white peach, green apple, citrus, with delicate integrated subtle lees. Bright lemony acidity on the palate, round mouthfeel, & refreshing. A clean, fresh, & distinctly Ontarian-style Chardonnay.

Ideas for pairing 3XP? This rich Chardonnay calls for all shades of seafood and fish: spaghetti with clams and tons of parsley, halibut, crab cakes... or even pork tenderloin! It's also wonderful as an apéro wine.

Mellow & Textured

Two real taste enthusiasts, winemaker Julien Bonneau and Chef Alexandre Lavigne were eager to share their own range of wines and created Cuvée Emma made from vineyards located on the hillsides of St Bonnet sur Gironde in the south of the Charente Maritime, a sub-region near the Ocean, on the outskirts of Bordeaux.

Emma embodies the purity of a natural wine, Alexandre Lavigne and Julien Bonneau attach a great importance on sustainable vine cultivation were the balance of the plant and grape maturity are essential. Winemaking is naturally done without the use of sulphites. Made from Sauvignon Blanc, this white wine has aromas of caramel, peaches and dried fruits on the nose. On the palate, there is great texture and length. 

Enjoy with firm cheeses or fish in a beurre blanc.

Fruity & Earthy

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.

Hand-picked and hand sorted grapes from Leaning Post estate Senchuk Vineyard, placed with 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!

Creamy & Zesty

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Blanc ages for a year in French oak barrels, half of which are brand-new. This powerful Chardonnay delivers aromas of white flowers, yellow apple and lemon zest. The influence of the wood translates into a rich and creamy texture on the palate.

This wine was made to be savoured slowly. Pair it with escargots à la Bourguignonne or with sautéed frogs' legs. It will also taste amazing into the second day (if you don't finish the bottle...)

Tannic & Delicate

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Rouge ages for a year in French oak barrels. The reds are what are known as “winter wines” because they need to spend some time in bottle. High-coloured, it has a brilliant deep purple or what the Burgundians call “deep mid-red”. The bouquet comprises floral scents  of violet and peony, fruity hints of blackcurrant, Morello cherry and quince; and a special peppery note. With age this Fixin will acquire a heightened and rounded attack and solid structure. The fullness is remarkable and the texture delicate.

Powerful yet delicate, its tannic structure makes it a worthy partner for good cuts of meat such as braised pork, beef rib steak with parsley, or poultry stews including their Indian variants (curry, tandoori). However, the delicacy of its aromas and of its finish also makes it a candidate for more inventive combinations such as paella, tapas, or spring-rolls. As far as cheese is concerned, it suits the delicacy of a Chaource, the lusciousness of a Comté, or the strong flavours of an Époisses.

Floral & Citrusy

Fabulas is a collaboration between a group of farmers, friends and a fabulous winemaker. The vineyards of Fabulas winery are located in the municipality of Pretoro (602 m a.s.l.) in the Majella National Park. Here you can really feel the influence of the massif mountain that gives its name to the park, and even though only 35 km far away there is the sea its mitigation effect is almost absent.

The origin of the name is to be attributed to a wine that was originally produced in Malta. It was a valuable product traded by Venice merchants. The several grape varieties named Malvasia often only have in common the name, deriving from the Greek city of the Peloponnese Monenbasia which means “port with a single entrance”, a city that, by assonance with the Greek city name, was renamed by the Venetians “Malvasia”.

This Malvasía has delicate aromas of tropical fruit and a hint of jasmine flowers. On the palate it is fresh, savoury, intense and full-bodied. It goes well with seafood, medium-aged cheeses, structured first courses and white meats.

Bright & Crisp

Channing Daughters grow vines and create wines from over two-dozen grape varieties on a beautiful, breeze-filled 28-acre plot of land in Bridgehampton, on the South Fork of Long Island’s East End.

Full-Bodied & Smooth

Mas Carlot is situated in the south of the Rhône Valley, extending across 76 hectares of pebbly land southeast of Nîmes.

This special cuvée was inspired by the spirit of the winemaker's children, Blanche, Eugène, Olympe and Achille. This blend of old vines, 60% Mourvèdre and 40% Syrah, was aged for nine months both in tank and in oak barrels. Like the children, the charm of this wine is found in its complexity. Aromas of truffle, tobacco leaves, blackberry and blueberry with a touch of cherry on the palate. 

As the temperatures begin to cool, think about pairing this wine with rich, hearty dishes or roasted meats and vegetables.

Delicate & Floral

When Michel Muré settled in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he surely had little conception of the beautiful adventure that he was setting in motion for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré extended the property with the addition of the 12-hectare (25-acre) wholly owned Clos Saint Landelin, foreseeing already its potential for exceptional quality. He replanted the terraces, ideally situated with their sunny exposure and shelter from the rain.

Nowadays it is Alfred’s grandson René, together with his children Véronique and Thomas, the 11th and 12th generations of the family, who are responsible for running this exceptional, wholly-owned vineyard and its neighbouring terroirs, using biodynamic methods.

Located in Rouffach, the Clos Saint Landelin, fully owned by the Muré family, covers an area of 12 hectares\. It marks the southern end of the Grand Cru Vorbourg. Located at the exit of the valley, it is exposed to the south and benefits from a good amount of sunshine until late in the afternoon. The north and west winds ensure that the vines remain healthy until harvest time.

Pale yellow with green highlights. Very delicate nose with aromas of orange, lemon and peach. The palate is fresh and velvety, with a beautiful righteousness, the fruit flavours (citrus, apricot). The nose, rather flowery, goes to a fruity mouth: apricot, peach.

The minerality of the wine and its fine tannic texture make this wine very food friendly.

Dense & Brooding

Born in Aix-en-Provence, Matthieu Barret is a young and enthusiastic 7th generation vigneron. After he studied in Beaune, he joined his grandfather in Cornas in 1997. Today, he practices biodynamic viticulture with a focus on low yields and extraordinary quality. He describes his wines as being 100% grape – pure, clean, and low sulfites.

As dark as the wine is dressed, as deep and dark is also its scent. Smelling as well as seeing, one needs a while to get used to recognize contours in the darkness. This dense thicket of aromas conceals cooked plum jam, the scent of fresh Black Forest cherry pie, and the peppery spice of juniper berries and black truffle. And a single deep red rose blossoms behind a small fire-cleared patch of forest.

A wine that invites you to take a walk and discover the land from which Matthieu Barret's Syrah comes and which is inherent in it.
