Joan Miquel Canals is a winemaker who began his education at the University of Barcelona before receiving a PhD in 1997 from the Rovira i Virgili University, where he is a full professor at the Faculty of Oenology. He is a member and former president of the College of Oenologists and Oenologists of Catalonia, and an expert in the quality factors that influence the sensory perception of wines, particularly sparkling wines. Since 1983, he has produced base wines from the traditional varieties for cava in the Alt Penedès region.
He has been the winemaker for his family's cavas from the beginning, where he has developed the current product line in the framework of a philosophy of constant improvement with respect for nature and trying to minimize the human footprint in his wines. The Brut Nature is a blend of 45% Macabeu, 40% Xarel·lo, and 15% Parellada. It's a clear, brilliant pale gold colour with aromas of ripe fruits (baked apple, quince, peach syrup, backed by fine pastry and vanilla notes. Flavours of ripe green and stone fruits (apple and peach), and hazelnut follow; it's voluminous with good balance. There's a creamy mousse along with a fine, persistent finish.

Canals Nadal was started in 1986 by Antoni Canals Nadal when he decided to start making his own Cava together with his sons Albert and Joan Miquel and daughter Imma. They started a small production at the winery, where wines were previously sold and barrels were made by hand. Joan Miquel Nadal makes subtle, balanced “grower” Cava that display elegance and style.
These Cava are made from the typical indigenous Penedès varieties of Macabeu, Xarel-lo and Parellada. Grapes come from their own vines and selected other vine-growers. In 1997 Canals Nadal started to produce a line of still wines with the DO Penedès designation.
Kensington Wine Market is privileged to have Canals Nadal as an exclusive partner for more than a decade.

Blue Mountain is the wild and respected territory of which the Mavety family are blessed to be the guardians. As a family business with a strong connection to the South Okanagan site, the goal of Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars is to realize the potential of the individual sites of the land in which the grapes are grown. Overlooking and tending, the Mavety’s life work is an ongoing process of creating something simple yet powerful, to be expressed in the glass and enjoyed. The philosophy of Blue Mountain is to focus on the potential of each variety, continually improving its range across Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay Noir, and Traditionnelle Methode sparkling wine.
Blue Mountain’s strong focus on viticulture across the site allows for an increased representation of individual terroir when the grapes reach the winery.

This half-bottle of Italian bubbles is begging for seafood or sushi takeout! Light and fruity in style with notes of green apple, pear, citrus and a touch of minerality. This half-bottle of Prosecco from Val D'Oca doesn't need food to pair with, but it will work with plenty of different meals.

True Colours is a Cava which was originally created to support LGBTQ+ programs in Scandinavia. It is imported into Alberta by Redback Wine Imports, who has committed to donating $10 from every case sold to two great local programs: Calgary Pride and HIV Community Link.
Like most Cava, this sparkling wine is produced in Penedes, within the Catalonia region of Spain.
From Redback Wine Imports
True Colours was initially created for the Swedish market by Altia Sweden, in conjunction with the Cava producer Sumarrocca. It's a high-quality sparkling wine made in the metodo tradicional style (much like Champagne) from Xarello, Parellada and Macabeo, along with a small amount of Chardonnay. The palate shows a core of stone fruits, citrus and minerals with a toasty brioche finish.
"True Colours in Alberta is a partnership between Redback Wine Imports and Calgary Pride/HIV Community Link. We donate $10/case (750mL) and $5/case (200mL) to support the programs of these worthy organizations.

With the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in cancellation of many fundraising events and activities, these organizations need our help even more than usual to continue with their amazing work."
