New & Noteworthy
What we are most excited about right now!
Domaine des Aubuisieres Vouvray Brut
$26.99
Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
The Chenin Blanc of Vouvray brings riper citrus and tree fruit to the bready flavours of Methode Traditionelle and racy, mineral acidity from the Loire Valley soils. A great bubbly with flavour, ripeness, and minerality - at a very approachable price. Buy a bottle and take it over to Peasant Cheese and they will be happy to recommend a cheese pairing!
Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz 2018
$59.99
Two Alices' are better than one! Alices vineyard and the Shiraz it grows takes its name a mother and an aunt of Greenock Creek's owners Annabelle and Michael Waugh: Annabelle's mom and Michael's favourite aunt. Alices Shiraz is one of the iconic big reds in Greenock Creek's portfolio and is also the winery's largest vineyard with a total area of 15 acres. The vines on the site were planted in 1997.
Durigutti Compuertas Cordisco
$29.99
Is this a heavy rose or a light red? You be the judge. Whatever you decide, we think you will find it delicious!
The Cordisco grape is better known as Montepulciano. The varietal, which originally heralds from Abruzzo in Italy was originally planted in 2021 as an experimental plot within the Durigutti brothers Compuertas vineyard. The wine was fermented in concrete eggs with native yeasts.

$149.99

Clos du Soleil Winemaker's Pinot Gris
$27.99
Exclusive to KWM!
This is a medium-bodied, balanced white that takes the best qualities of crisp BC Pinot Gris and adds a more oily, rich, complex and minerality-driven style that would expect from Alsacian bottlings of the varietal. This is a must-try for white wine lovers!
Part of Clos du Soliel's WInemaker's Series, this Pinot Gris comes from the winery's Whispered Secret Vineyard. The vineyard is located on the south side of the Similkameen Valley and maintains a cooler temperature overall versus other vineyards. Because of this, the Pinot Gris vines enjoy a slightly longer growing season while still maintaining the acidity needed. 527 cases of this wine were produced, with only 25 cases coming to Alberta - exclusively to KWM!
Shelter Point Rye KWM Cask #345
$119.99
Can't find Alberta Premium Cask Strength? This might just be better! Our third Shelter Point Rye KWM Cask has just arrived! This 100% Rye Whisky was distilled in 2009 at Calgary's legendary Alberta Distillers. After five years it was moved to Shelter Point Distillery on Vancouver Island, where it remained until being bottled for KWM. There are only 168 bottles of what might be our Shelter Point Rye KWM Cask... This time around, the cask is 12 Years old and 58.1%.
