Irrational Lucidity 4 West Coast Pale
$5.19
From the Producer
You’ve made it clear from the overwhelming support that our modern take on west coast hop forward beer is here to stay! The next iteration in our Lucidity series focuses on another one of our selected hops from this past harvest, Idaho 7. Our selected Idaho 7 oozes with dank resinous oils and reeks of uber dank flower, apricot, and clementine. We knew this hop had to be showcased immediately and decided to pair it with Mosaic and Nelson Amplifire to dial up the sensory experience beyond what is expected from a pale ale. Expect whaffs of dank berry and bright tangerine to overwhelm your senses
5.2% ABV
Malt: Pilsner
Hops: Mosaic, Idaho 7, & Nelson Amplifire
Yeast: American Ale
Moss Wood Amy's Red Blend 2023
$39.99
Amy's Red Blend from Moss Wood is a both customer and staff favourite at Kensington Wine Market. Vintage after vintage, this Bordeaux-style blend punches well above its price point. The 2023 vintage contains 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and 6% Petit Verdot.
Established in 1969, Moss Wood is an important, founding estate of the Margaret River wine region in the northern sub–region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia. Clare & Keith Mugford, as winemakers, viticulturalists & proprietors, have been making wine & tending the vineyard at Moss Wood since 1984 & 1979, respectively. Their exacting viticulture ensures the production of high-quality fruit, and they have created a stable of fine wines distinguished by their consistency over each vintage, along with their ability to age superbly.
They have put significant effort into developing an appropriate style for each of their wines, but Cabernet Sauvignon, their first wine, is still the primary focus. Naturally, they looked to the great wines of Bordeaux for inspiration and carefully examined the factors that have made Bordeaux the benchmark for Cabernet Sauvignon.
As they were making wine in Margaret River inspired by those of the Medoc, they felt it was important to consider the Bordeaux environment as opposed to Margaret River’s individualistic climate and terroir. Wine writer Jancis Robinson has called them the Chateau Latour of Australia, and, we might add, for a fraction of what Latour costs.
