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

Bianka and Daniel took over the Weingut Schmitt in 2012 as the fourth generation to lead the winery. They are based in Wonnegau in the south Rheinhessen, centered in Flörsheim-Dalsheim. All of the vineyards are in Flörsheim-Dalsheim and neighbor villages Monsheim and Kriegsheim. Bianka and Daniel have been working their 16 hectares biodynamically for over a decade and are one of only 80 producers in Germany to be Demeter certified. 

Every mixed case includes 3 bottles of each wine.

3 bottles x 2023 Freiheit Riesling. The Freiheit Riesling is a real surprise. Amidst countless conventional winegrowers in the hilly region of Rheinhessen, Bianka and Daniel Schmitt have taken a different path. The grapes were picked and selected by hand, the must was brought into the barrel immediately after pressing and left there to fend for itself. It was bottled unsulfured and unfiltered.

The result is incredibly lively, almost funky, with striking fruit. When freshly opened, it smells exotic of passion fruit, pineapple, but also gooseberries and ripe yellow pears.

3 bottles x Monsheimer Riesling 2022. This wine is made entirely from 100% Monsheim Riesling grapes, which were carefully harvested in the late harvest season at the end of October when the grapes are perfectly ripe and full of juicy flavour. A delightful expression of quality and craftsmanship from Bianka and Daniel, this wine is both refreshing and complex, making it a stellar choice for any occasion.

 3 bottles x Nieder-Flörsheimer Spätburgunder 2022. This lively Pinot Noir from Flörsheim-Dalsheim offers an enchanting bouquet that opens up beautifully with some aeration, revealing vibrant aromas of sour cherries and pomegranate intertwined with fragrant wild herbs and a hint of undergrowth. The palate is graced with velvety tannins and a delicate acidity that accentuates its slender body, creating an elegant balance and an inviting drinkability.

3 bottles x Freiheit Weiß 2023. The Freiheit Weiß is a blend of five different grapes. The grapes of Scheurebe and Huxelrebe macerate for about a week and half on the skins, while the weiß- and Grauburgunder, Riesling and Silvaner went directly to the press with whole cluster. 

In the glass, the wine has a light straw yellow. The nose shows gooseberries, bright flowers and ripe apple. On the palate it is fresh and light, with a beautiful texture.

This product is part of the LCBOs Brilliant Baettig Exclusive Online Offer - Quantities Limited. 

Francisco Baettig and Carlos de Carlos cut their teeth in the wine industry as part of the well known Errázuriz operation, where they worked together for many years. Inspired by their mutual love of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the talented enologist and savvy businessman branched out to create Vinos Baettig. Produced in small batches and sold as limited editions to selected buyers, their wines have swiftly become some of the most interesting & highly lauded among the emerging talents of Chile.

The grapes come from a combination of parcels at Viñedo Los Suizos, grown in the region of Malleco. This is a land of wild forests, beautiful lakes, active volcanoes and abundant rain in southern Chilean. 'Los Parientes' (the relatives) refers to the closeness of the different components within the same vineyard.

Displaying inviting floral scents of wildflowers and rose hips with tinges of tobacco and fragrant dried herbs, the savoury notes are layered nicely against soft fruit tones of  blueberries and sour cherries. Round and juicy on the palate, the fruitiness is tempered by bright acidity and earthy nuances. Fine-grained tannins add density and pleasing texture that accompanies the fruit into the finish. 

Roasted and grilled veggies will compliment the savoury side of this wine. Pair with duck fat roasted brussel sprouts or a veggie lovers pizza.

Nicolas Potel is an iconic producer and pioneer in the Burgundy winemaking scene. He grew up in a family dedicated to wine; and after gaining some experience internationally, he started his own project in the late 90's. The Maison Roche de Bellene offers a complete range of carefully cultivated and versatile wines, often made from old vines. All of the Maison wines are made with respect to sustainable and natural farming practices, with as little intervention as necessary to showcase their individual terroirs.

The vineyards of Savigny-lès-Beaune are among some of the oldest in the region, nestled between the city of Beaune and the famed Corton Hill. Sourced from naturally low-yielding, old vine parcels, this Pinot Noir is round and fruit driven, offering notes of cherry and strawberry, lifted by light floral aromas and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied with velvety tannins and a juicy, succulent core. A gentle earthy grip lingers on the finish, giving balance to the wine’s lively red fruit and understated structure.

A versatile food wine that pairs nicely with lighter grilled fare like veal cutlets or veggie skewers.

Villa Calcinaia is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, near the village of Greve-in-Chianti. This Tuscan estate has been home to the Capponi family since 1524. It is now in the hands of 37th-generation Conte Sebastiano Capponi, who has managed the estate since 1992.

The ripe and perfectly healthy grapes from each block are long fermented and then aged separately for 20 months in French oak 500 liters tonneaux and Slavonian oak 30 hl casks. After the cuvee is made the wine ages for another 4/6 months before its bottling.

The colour of Villa Calcinaia’s Chianti Classico Riserva is rich ruby, whilst the bouquet is mature in its fruit, well blended with the oak. The taste of the wine is soft, velvety. The structure is solid and the wood well integrated. The aftertaste is spicy and persistent.

Villa Calcinaia’s Riserva is for important occasions, with rich meat dishes, or just as an added enjoyment during a conversation.

The origin of Château Lamartine goes back to 1883, when Lise and Benjamin’s great grand father acquired a piece of land and started to farm grapes and sell wine in barrels. The winery holds the 'Haute Valeur Environnementale' certificate in sustainability, and are right now in their third year of organic conversion.

The Cahors AOP is right in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea. We could say that it’s the heart of the South West. Due to its geographic situation, the appellation has a particular microclimate, which is perfect for Malbec.

This is a rich wine with powerful tannins. It has ripe dark blue and black fruit notes with a touch of vanilla.  While the tannins are full the wine has a great acid backbone to maintain the structure.

This is a top value, structured and succulent red that is ready to sip alongside some salty, fatty protein.

Floral & Delicate

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 density, body, structure and balance of this wine is unparalleled. The nose shows beautiful sugar beet, bing cherry, rose petals and mushroom with a background of tarragon and basil and hints of peppery intensity. The palate follows the nose while adding mulberry, tobacco, and fresh-turned-earth and fallen leaves. A medium-full bodied wine with lots of fresh, young fruit and balanced acidity and tannin make this a wine that will age gracefully for at least 10 years.

In 2010, Joana and António founded Maçanita Vinhos after an invitation from a local Douro family who had read about these playful and ambitious sibling winemakers. Both siblings contribute to Maçanita Vinhos, but the challenging Douro Valley has been Joana’s passion project since the start, and Joana and her children even moved to the Porto area to be closer to the winery and vineyards. Setting down roots in the region has allowed her to focus her famous energy into expanding the rising star that is her Douro career.

This wine comes from a collection of parcels located in Carlão, Cima Corgo, with vineyards aged between 80 and 92 years, planted at an altitude of 510 meters. The soils of these vineyards are a transition between schist and granite, offering a unique terroir that reflects the diversity and richness of this Douro subregion.  

The composition of Os Canivéis includes a blend of 11 traditional varieties, with a manual harvest conducted in 18 kg boxes and a winemaking process that combines partial destemming with whole clusters. The wine undergoes a 40-day maceration and is aged for 18 months in neutral French oak barrels, allowing its freshness and authentic character to shine through.

With a light ruby-violet color, Os Canivéis Tinto presents aromas of fresh fruit and dark chocolate. On the palate, it offers a creamy entry with firm and prolonged tannins, displaying an elegant structure. Ideal for pairing with dark meats, Asian cuisine, and spicy cheeses.

With a very limited production, it is an enological gem from the Douro, reflecting the artisanal approach and dedication to the winemaking tradition of this region.

Douro, the first demarcated wine region in the world, was registered in 1756. However, such is the variety of terroirs and exposures in the Douro that one might say there are many Douros. This is why, between the years of 1935 and 1947 a system of grading was introduced classifying the vineyards in this region from A to F, being “A” vineyards the ones with best potential for production of Port Wines showing superior maturation of the grapes and generally located closer to the river where most of the concentration and power, which characterizes the Douro wines, is found. This is our letter A Douro wine. 

Deep ruby-violet color, showing a concentrated aroma of dark fruits combining with subtle herbal and floral notes. In the palate, concentrated ripe fruit contrast with powerful but well-rounded tannins ending in a persistent finish.

Château Haut Grelot, situated near the Gironde Estuary north of Bordeaux, has been dedicated to vineyard care and winemaking since 1920.

This classic Bordeaux blend features 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, cultivated in the sandy, and clayey soils of Côtes de Bordeaux, and aged for six months in stainless steel vats.

The wine is fruity, with lots of red berries and a lovely texture.

Villa Calcinaia is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, near the village of Greve-in-Chianti. This Tuscan estate has been home to the Capponi family since 1524. It is now in the hands of 37th-generation Conte Sebastiano Capponi, who has managed the estate since 1992.

Produced from the best blocks of old vines with the sunniest exposition in the estate, near Greve in Chianti. The perfectly ripened, healthy grapes from each block are long fermented and then aged separately for 20 months in French oak 500 litres tonneaux and Slavonian oak 30 hl casks. After the cuvée is made the wine ages for another 4-6 months before its bottling.

The colour of the Riserva is rich ruby, yet the bouquet is mature in its fruit and judicious with its well integrated oak nuances. The taste is soft and velvety on the palate, showing fine structure in harmonious balance with the ripe fruits and uplifting acidity. The after taste is tireless and spicy. 

This is a bottle for important occasions, served alongside rich meat dishes but it will also bring much added enjoyment during conversations with fellow revellers!

Rich & Elegant

Located along the edge of the Haut Medoc and at the very beginning of the Margaux appellation, Château Laronde-Desormes shows exceptional character beyond its simple “Bordeaux Supérieur” appellation. Harvested at extremely low yields, the resulting wine is full of finesse and elegance, with well-balanced bright fruit and a long, satisfying finish.  A concentrated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, it tastes more like one of its more costly Margaux neighbors than a humble Bordeaux rouge.

The wood-aged wine's fruit is developing along with ripe tannins. It has a touch of spice and black-currant flavors. It is an attractive wine, ready from 2025.
The Laronde Desormes is especially deep in color, hauntingly aromatic, and packed with blackberry and cassis fruit as well as plenty of ample ripe tannins.

Fine red Bordeaux like the Château Laronde Desormes is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with poultry, red meats, rich sauces, and game—think duck, pheasant, quail—or dishes like Sautéed Veal Medallions, Filet Mignon with shiitake mushrooms, or Chicken Fricassee. It also complements soft cow’s-milk cheeses (Gouda, Morbier, Muenster, Port Salut) and shines when served alongside simple, fresh, high-quality ingredients.

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.

Trousseau is by far the rarest grape variety in the Jura, planted in less than 8% of the total Jura vineyard, it has a biological relationship with the white grape Savagnin, being originally from this magical region. The vineyards are planted on rich red marl and gravel soils, along the Cotes du Jura appellation. On the nose, it has aromas of red fruits and leather, with a hint of sub-bois. Tannins are soft and silky, and the palate is very well-balanced.

Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with red meats such as game and venison.

This is a fresh, balanced rendition of a classic Douro red. Preserving the intrinsic bent toward the richness and power of the Douro, all while showcasing balance, minerality and elegance. Some of the vines tended at an altitude of 200m to 540 m altitude in schist soils, and others at 600m altitude in granitic soils elevation, both in Cima Corgo, Douro. This is a subregion that experiences extreme highs and lows from a temperature standpoint, with some of the greatest day-night temperature delta in Portugal. As such the fruit experiences extended hangtime.

Deep violet. On the nose, redolent of black and blue fruit tinged with violets and wet stone. On the palate, rich but balanced, with fresh acidity coupling the dark blueberry and plum fruit. Finishes long and spicy, with a big dose of flowers and minerals.

Lighthall Vineyards is a small, proud, low volume and high quality winery located in enchanting Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. All their wines are produced in a non-interventionist manner and fuelled by passion as hearty as our vines. They also make cheese, designed to pair with their wines.

A cooler vintage brings freshness to one of the county’s best varieties. Strawberry, red currant, candied cherry, and a savoury garrigue all burst from the glass. Tones of sumac, cedar, bittersweet chocolate and cinnamon bark bring a discerning finish to this elegant grape. The classic pairing of seared duck breast and mushroom risotto are a must-have.

Classically, a pan seared or confit duck breast with black pepper and wild mushroom risotto is delightful. We also recommend blue cheeses, gruyere, taleggio, jollof with smoked mackerel, grilled pork butt chop with a sumac compote, black truffles, miso chicken, grilled salmon, or tuna sashimi.

Cool-climate Merlot at its best. This wine is loaded with all things blue and moody: damson plums, violet, fig, blue-acai, and chocolate-covered blueberry. Rich oak tones of vanilla, chocolate, and marshmallow balance out the fruit intensity and leave a long yet distinguished finish.

Fatty, high protein foods are recommended to bind with the high tannin and balance the acidity. Roasted leg of lamb with Saskatoon berry compote, coffee-rubbed steak, seared duck breast, creole jambalaya, pork loin with roasted plums, and blue cheeses all go
great.

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.

This blended wine (61% Merlot, 39& Cabernet Franc) always over-delivers massively for the price. Blackberry, cassis, raspberry and mulberry instantly appear on the nose, with lilac, cracked white pepper, licorice and pancetta following closely behind. On the palate, it has a very broad and weighty mid-palate featuring plum, wild-blueberry, and strawberry layered over dark- chocolate and graphite with wisps of herbs-de-provence and black olive fading in and out.

The powerful but soft tannins make it satisfying to drink now with a good decant, but it will certainly age well over the next 5-8 years. Great with burgers, cured meat, and hard cheese.

Floral & Structured

In 1974, Valentino Migliorini, already a successful restaurateur, purchased a farmhouse in Monforte d'Alba and soon began innovating in winemaking. He created the first Langhe blend, Bricco Manzoni, in 1976, and was a pioneer in using small oak barrels for aging red wines and producing sparkling wine with the traditional method—introducing both to the Langhe region. By 1982, all his wines were aged in oak, and in 1999, he released the first 10-year reserve Barolo. His experimental approach and attention to detail helped establish Rocche dei Manzoni as a leading force in Piedmontese winemaking and paved the way for sparkling wine production in the area—decades ahead of others.

The wine presents a radiant, crystal-clear carmine red color, reflecting its youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it offers elegant and expressive aromas dominated by ripe cherry and delicate floral notes like violet, later unfolding into earthy nuances of rhubarb, gentian, and medicinal herbs, all supported by a refreshing liveliness. On the palate, it is ready to drink, with soft, delicate tannins, balanced alcohol, and a subtle balsamic note of mentholated talc. The finish is refined, featuring a gentle boisée touch and a distinctive toasted hazelnut note that adds depth and complexity.

The Rocche dei Manzoni Langhe Nebbiolo pairs well with rich, rustic dishes like truffle dishes, risottos, and slow-cooked meats such as roasted lamb or beef. Its firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and earthy aromas also make it an excellent match for aged cheeses, grilled vegetables, and dishes featuring mushrooms or tomatoes.

In 2013, husband & wife team Chris and Andrea Mullineux partnered with Analjit Singh (BAS) to establish Leeu Passant winery on the beautiful Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. The winery is dedicated to showcasing the South African landscape and climate, with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and community upliftment. By working with some of the Cape’s oldest and most exceptional vineyards, they honour the country’s rich winemaking and viticultural heritage.

Sourced from a historic parcel of dry-farmed bush vine Cinsault planted in 1900, rooted in deep sandy alluvial soils in Wellington. Recognized as South Africa’s oldest registered red wine vineyard, it continues to produce fruit of remarkable character and heritage.

This aromatic wine opens with an alluring, complex bouquet of roses, cranberries, cherries, warm spice, and a whisper of thyme. The palate is fresh and silky, layered with notes of orange peel, rhubarb, maraschino cherry, pink peppercorn, and clove. Fine tannins provide elegant structure, carrying the flavours through to a refined finish.

Garage Wine Co was quite literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo have chosen to revive old vineyards in marginalized Chilean communities. They work mostly in the regions of Maule and Itata where they make highly coveted wines.

Vigno stands for Viñadores de Carignan and is an association of producers whose goal is to create an appellation of origin for wines made from old Carignan vines that have been dry-farmed and bush-trained in the Maule Secano area.

The 2021 Vigno gives spice and mineral notes on the lifted nose, layered with vibrant red and blue fruit, gradually unfolding into hints of violet and rhubarb. The palate is concentrated yet lively, with energetic black raspberry, spice cake, and floral pastille flavours. A zesty, pleasantly bitter note of blood orange adds edge and tension through the finish. It glides to a smooth, sweet, and impressively long close, with lingering floral and spice tones and supple tannins lending structure and a gentle, persistent grip. 

Wines made from Carignan are ideal with richer poultry dishes such as turkey or duck, roasted pork, or even a meaty beef brisket.

Wild blue and red berries lead the way, layered with dried flowers, white pepper, grilled herbs, and a touch of graphite. This full-bodied Syrah is flavourful yet fluid, brimming with juicy blue fruit, floral lift, and finely woven baking spices. Silky and refined with a spicy, impressively long finish, it carries depth without ever feeling heavy. A beautifully effortless expression from old, dry-farmed vines - sensual, engaging, and irresistibly drinkable now, though a few years in the cellar will only enhance its charm.

A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

Connoisseurs of Etna wines recognize Contrada Calderara as a top cru, known for its unique soil of black pumice and basalt from ancient lava flows. Covered with large heat-retaining stones, this area, aptly named Calderara (or caldron), releases stored heat during cool nights, allowing the grapes to capture the soil's minerality, resulting in transparent and vibrant wines.

Intense aromas of morello cherry, pomegranate, and wild blackberry meld with subtle hints of baked earth and scrubland undergrowth on the nose. The palate reveals striking balance, alternating between firm tannins and sweet, red fruits that integrate perfectly with the oak. The mineral nuances of lava stone and saline quality that linger on the nose assert themselves boldly alongside the ripe fruit flavours. This wine displays great structure and promises longevity.

An ideal pairing for stewed red meats, grilled meats and mature cheeses.

Bideona’s village wine series is intended to showcase the differences in character among the great, historic wine villages of Rioja Alavesa. This series also highlights a senseless regulation of the Denominación de Origen, which allows the use of a village name by the location of the winery – the building – and not the vineyards. Despite having full traceability of each vineyard parcel, Bideona cannot legally use village names on the labels. As a clever workaround, they have substituted all village names with acronyms that they have registered as brands. Thus, ‘Laguardia’ becomes L4GD4. This Tempranillo field blend comes from old vineyards planted at 1,400 feet above sea level overlooking the Ebro Valley. Ripening tends to be the earliest among Bideona’s villages and the wines are the most elegant and perfumed in the village wine series. Laguardia is also the most approachable and gastronomic wine in this series, due to its lighter, velvety tannins and juiciness on the palate.

The grapes were hand harvested in small crates and then manually sorted on a sorting table before being de-stemmed. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were carried out in stainless-steel tanks via a mix of indigenous yeast and a house cultured yeast strain. Gentle pump-overs were done to maximize personality without high extraction of color or tannins. The wine was pressed off the skins and was sent to a mix of stainless-steel, concrete, new oak, and used oak for 12 months of aging. It was bottled with a coarse filtration and very gentle sulfur addition. No fining.
