Bussola Valpolicella TB Classico
$109.99
One of the best Valpolicellas you'll ever try, from one of our favourite producers! Medium-bodied and rich, it has notes of red berries and a long finish. Deliciously easy to drink. "Tommaso Bussola's wines have received a good deal of critical acclaim over the last few years, and with good reason. These are remarkable wines of the highest level," according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. "The estate produces two lines of wines. In theory the BG wines are more traditional in spirit while the TB wines are meant to be more modern. In reality the main difference comes down to vineyard selection, as the estate's best fruit is reserved for the TB range."
Quintarelli Bianco Secco
$108.99
A wonderful dry white wine from one of Italy's most famous winemakers! "The late, great Maestro del Veneto, Giuseppe Quintarelli, succeeded in establishing his mythical and legendary estate during an amazing sixty-year career. All of the tradition, love, heart, and soul of crafting one of the world’s finest wines continue at the Quintarelli home and winery in the hills north of Verona," according to Kermit Lynch. A blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Bianco, Chardonnay and Saorin, this beauty will pair well with fresh seafood, Italian style.

Pair with anything big and beefy — Argentine Asado, burgers, or spaghetti and meatballs.
Usseglio Chateauneuf Imperiale
$134.99
While up to 13 different grape varietals can be blended together in making Chateauneuf du Pape red wine, the Domaine Raymond Usseglio CNDP Cuvee Imperiale is composed almost entirely of very old vine Grenache (90-plus percent in most vintages). The grapes for this tremendous and age-worthy red are harvested from estate vines in the Chateauneuf du Papes holdings of the Domaine - most of which are more than a century old and were originally planted in 1902.
From The Winery
"La Cuvée Imperiale is from our oldest vines, most of them 100 years old (planted in 1901-1902.) Extremely low yields (16-18 h/h) guarantee a wine that is dense and profound. The ancient Grenache vines bring to this cuvee their finesse and elegance. Will age for dozens of years. To be carafed during the first years. Because it is bottled without any filtration, some sediment – natural and beneficial to the aging process – is possible."
Usseglio Les Claux Rouge
$36.99
"Les Claux" Rouge is Domaine Raymond Usseglio's entry-level CDR, a blend of 60% Grenache, 20 % Syrah, 20 % Mourvedre. The average age of the vines is 50 years and the wines are all biodynamic. Exclusive to KWM, you’ll have to search far and wide to find a better value!
The Usseglio family initially emigrated to Châteauneuf de Pape from Italy. Brothers Pierre and Raymond began the dynasty that we know today as one of the most revered producers in the region. Stéphane, Raymond’s son, has now taken over the Domaine and is pushing hard to reach the potential of the family’s holdings, some of the best of Châteauneuf.
Carlisle Alicante Bouschet
$74.99
In the last 20 years, Carlisle has bottled Alicante Bouschet only four times – 2004, 2013, 2016, and now, with this vintage, 2021. While the variety is one of their favourites for blending, providing ample colour and adding a bit of complexity, it can fall short as a complete wine, but in these particular vintages, every component is in place, a beautiful nose, delicious flavours, and a long finish. Aged in all neutral oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting Note: Black as a moonless night deep in a bamboo forest (trust us, that’s black!) Blackberries and boysenberries abound in the deep, concentrated aromas. A touch of dark earth as well. Medium-full to full-bodied with plenty of fresh blackberry, ample acidity and suave tannins. While there is plenty of fruit to this wine, it is by no means jammy thanks to its low pH and high TA. This will age well.
Carlisle Papa`s Block Syrah
$76.99
"Very dark purple-ruby. Nearly opaque. A heady, intoxicating nose of blackberry, smoked meats, and herbs. Smells deliciously savory. Quite smooth and silky on entry, flavors of blackberry and blueberry are intertwined with lavender, violets, and spice cake. Gentle tannins emerge on the long and persistent finish. Totally compelling and a wine of great beauty and harmony. Already drinking well due to its impeccable balance, enjoy from release through 2028" Winery
Rockford Semillon
$56.99
Robert O'Callaghan is a winemaking pioneer in Australia's Barossa Valley. His wines are so popular, most sell out at the winery before they have a chance to make it overseas. This wine faithfully reflects the contribution made by the Sibley and Kalleske families. Their skill and devotion to their soil helps give the Barossa its strength, stability and soul. Local Growers Semillon has the ability to age and is perfect slightly chilled with grilled seafood, fresh garden salads or with a roast Barossa chicken. A wine that invites itself to lunch.
Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache
$32.99
Glaetzer Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache in a modern way. The Shiraz brings backbone, flesh and body to the wine with the Grenache adding a soft, vibrant juiciness. The nose shows hints of red currant, clove and spice. On the palate look for fresh juiciness that combines with supple tannin and pronounced flavours of licorice and mulberry.
Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin's wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. Judith's Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol - the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.
