Domaine Alzipratu’s vineyards are located on the island of Corsica. Located 90 km west of Italy, 170 km southeast of France and 11 km north of the island of Sardinia, the island is a territory of France, but many of the region's winemaking traditions and grape varieties are Italian in origin. It is here that Pierre Acquaviva cultivates, amid olive and almonds groves, the islands local varieties of Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Vermentino.

The Fiumeseccu Rouge is made from Mielluciu, Sciacarelli, Grenache and Syrah: capturing the atmosphere and essence of the Mediterranean forest. The blend of these red grapes makes a very savory, fresh wine with medium body and distinct herbal aromas. The floral aroma has undertones of black liquorice, tobacco, thyme and tarragon which carries through to the palate, combining with ripe black fruit flavours, pepper, spice and balanced acidity. 

Enjoy this red wine with all kinds of cheeses, cold cuts, full-flavored fish, chicken and duck. It is a great pairing with a spiced Pork Loin.

Juicy & Earthy

One of the most coveted, yet accessible natural wines in France. From legendary winemaker Matthieu Barret of Domaine de Coulet in Cornas. The Matthieu Barret labelled wines are from a leased organic and biodynamic vineyard in Visan, about an hour South of the Domaine. Petit Ours ('Little Bear') is Matthieu Barret's nickname.

It is 100% Syrah from clay and limestone soils. Expect fresh dark berries with hints of black pepper, lavender and smoky tones on the nose. On the palate it's vibrant, tight, refreshing and with gripping tannins.

Enjoy this wine with classic wine bar fare chicken liver mousse, duck confit and mushrooms or a dish of lentils with boudin. Savour the last sip with a blackberry and rhubarb butter tart.

Floral & Zesty

Provenence Rosé perfectly exemplifies the Mediterranean lifestyle and 'Joie de Vivre'. The idea is to offer a pure expression of Mediterranean Rosé based on the main local grapes: Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Rose petals and sweet English candy on the nose. Savory and round with notes of citrus on the finish.

Provenence Rosé goes as well with a spring day as it does with charcuterie and cheese boards, fresh salads, light pastas, or cold appetizers.

We have curated the perfect mixed case to enjoy in the coziness of your home after a long walk in the cold or skiing down a snowy slope. Each case includes three bottles of each wine.

Kellerei Bozen Pinot Bianco 2019. This elegant wine comes from selected vineyards around Bolzano and really delivers with fresh, floral aromas and a nice acidity. Expect golden delicious apples, pear; and a light scent of peaches and pineapples on the nose and palate. It will match up well with soft cheeses, salads with cream dressings and flaky fish.

Zuani Ribolla Gialla Sodevo 2018. This Ribolla Gialla is extremely floral, with hints of acacia flowers and jasmine on the nose. On the palate, it's elegant and fresh, with a pleasing acidity, a citrusy finish and beautiful creamy roundness. The acidity in the wine would be magic against deep fried seafood, lemon caper veal piccata, fresh salads or mussels in a white wine garlic sauce.

Bodega Marco Zunino Estancia Argentina Malbec 2018. This Malbec opens up with red fruits, black raspberry and tones of fresh leather. It's chewy and sumptuous on the palate, with firm tannins and a very well balanced acidity. Rich meats, stews and braises are a great match, or try leaner meats with fruity and hearty sauces such as pork tenderloin with prunes and red wine jus.

André Aubert Le Devoy Grignan-les-Adhémar 2018. Le Devoy checks in as a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan. It has terrific notes of forest floor, cracked pepper, flowers and darker berry fruits as well as medium-bodied richness, an elegant, supple texture and notable purity of fruit.

Dark & Powerful

Advocates of the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, the Viret family has chosen to employ a particular form of natural viticulture throughout their estate. Known as “cosmoculture®”, this is based on energy fields.  Everything is organized in such a way that both the vines and wines are able draw on their own natural defences. The work in the vineyards focuses on reorganizing the magnetic field and on the application of homeopathic and naturals preparations made from rocks and plants that are often found naturally within the vineyard.

This is one of the most exciting raw and natural wines ever produced. Un-fined. Unfiltered. Low sulphites. It's a beautiful, powerful blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged in concrete for 24 months, to preserve the natural fruit flavours. This blend shows powerful, ripe dark fruit, leather, black olives and an array of herbs and spices that linger well into the finish.

This can easily be enjoyed on its own, but will just as well accompany hearty stews, game & well-seasoned grilled meat or vegetables.

Rich & Spicy

Unlike many winemakers, Frederic 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.

This cuvée is from an isolated walled vineyard in the 'Sauveplane' lieu-dit, a plateau at the eastern limit of the Faugères appellation. It's made from twenty year old Mourvèdre vines and forty year old Syrah vines with both grapes co-fermented and aged for thirteen months in oak. A very natural beauty, the nose is loaded with black pepper, blue fruits and wild gamey notes. If you're a fan of dark yet elegant natural reds with finesse and charm, this wine over delivers.

We recommend pairing it with bold meals: think French bistrot-inspired dishes, such as lentils, black pepper linguini with sausage and dandelion, or even a classic chicken satay!

Rich & Smooth

A small family winery (Mike, Gale, Amanda, Angela and Matt) that produces Rhône-style red and white wines from two vineyard properties in the Walla Walla Valley. They produce wines only from varietals that they love and farm themselves. From their first vintage in 2007, the wines have been remarkable with a consistent complexity, depth of flavour, finish and distinctive terroir. Almost everything they do is by hand, planting each vine in the vineyards, trellising, pruning, dropping fruit and then picking and sorting the berries at harvest. 

The density and power of this wine is stunning. There is weight without feeling heavy, incredible complexity of blackberry cobbler, star anise, ripe plumb, saddle leather, Asian spice, oyster shell and wet gravel. For Contender fans, this is up there with the 2009 vintage where the 5% of Marsanne shows through giving it a viscous texture.

Pair this wine with succulent BBQ ribs, braised meats, venison or rich stews.

This product is part of the LCBO Vintages program. It may take approximately 3-4 weeks to be delivered.

Juicy & Spiced

Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, they specialize in producing site-specific, natural wines.

Black Rock 2016's nose shows complexity through interesting spice and fynbos aromas and a prominent dark fruit note. On the palate, the wine delights with generous concentration and refined, smooth texture. This vintage is driven by the spiciness from the old vine Syrah yet it is still delicate because of the warmth of fruit that comes from Cinsault and Carignan, which also adds a savoury element to the wine.

This Rhône-inspired blend will works particularly well with dishes featuring Mediterranean spices: red pepper, sage, rosemary, and olives. Think of roasted meats and veggies!
