Selection
Pietradolce 2022 Etna Bianco
This wine is pure volcanic poetry. Grown on the slopes of Mount Etna, Pietradolce Bianco is made from the Carricante grape that thrives in lava rock and seems to speak its language. It opens with lemon zest, crushed rocks, and a breeze of wild herbs, like standing on a windy cliff with the sea in the distance. The palate is electric: razor-sharp acidity wrapped in a sleek, mineral frame. It’s lean but full of intention, finishing with a smoky, saline snap that lingers like a secret. Perfect with fresh oysters, grilled swordfish, or late-night stargazing when the air smells like stone and sea.
Springfield 2019 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, 'Whole Berry' from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.
Mulderbosch 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Rose
Saint Desirat 2022 Ardeche Syrah
100% Syrah. Sustainably Farmed. Lots of characteristic Northern Rhone black pepper spice and savoury complexity. Sourced from vineyards just outside Saint-Joseph, hence the great price.
It's done in a juicy style, offering sappy spice-laced berry flavours on the palate. The spicy note recurs on the long, smooth finish. An exceptional value that is drinking superbly now.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Refosco
This fun, naturally made, Refosco is a vibrant and expressive take on one of Northeastern Italy’s most intriguing indigenous varietals. Originally hailing from the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, Refosco is known for its deep color, firm structure, and naturally high acidity. Ricco Bambino’s expression stays true to these roots while showcasing the unique terroir of the Okanagan Valley.
Ricco Bambino 2017 Bianco
Graceland 2024 Strawberry Stellenbosch
This wine is an exquisite blend of complexity and grace, boasting prominent fruit aromas reminiscent of blackberries, tart cherries, cassis, and subtle hints of strawberries.
Its structure is impeccably balanced, offering a rich, creamy body that envelopes the palate. Velvety in texture, it delivers a mouth-filling experience complemented by harmoniously integrated barrel nuances and undertones of dark chocolate.
The ripe tannins reflect the characteristic structure of Shiraz, culminating in a lingering finish that defines elegance reminiscent of Bordeaux-style wines.
Springfield 2020 Met Ancienne Chardonnay
The Springfield Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay is special because it was made using ancient techniques rarely used in the New World: The fermentation takes place spontaneously with wild yeast in a combination of new and used French oak barrels. There is no fining or filtration. Thus, a wine of distinctive and classical character, it will develop slowly and is made to last a lifetime. Nuances of lime, cointreau and oranges – a big wine with classical character.
