Rockford Alicante Bouchet
$52.99
This KWM exclusive is from Rockford Winery out of Australia's Barossa Valley. They are an iconic winery and most their wines are sold to a loyal following directly from the winery door. In other words, grab a bottle or two while you can. This Alicante Bouchet is a light and refreshing red that should be served chilled. It has a touch of sweetness but it's a delicious cherry bomb carrying notes of cranberry and citrus.
Producer Description
"The exception to the rule! Alicante is genetically linked to the hardy pioneer variety of Grenache, so it too is well-adapted to our warm Mediterranean climate. Because the flesh of this distinctive variety is bright red in colour, there's no need for the skins and juice to sit together to extract the colour and flavour before pressing. Alicante is a variety that ripens with full flavour at low sugar levels, making it an aromatic light red wine."

Dagueneau Rose Cote Charite
$34.99
This rose is made from 100% Pinot Noir picked from a .25 hectare plot in the Loire region of France. It is hand-harvested, then vinified and matured in steel tanks before bottling. It is an ample, fruity wine with a scintillating colour and delicious aromas reminiscent of crushed strawberries. A wine that wears the colours of summer!
The history of the domaine dates to the late Léontine Dagueneau. In the 1920s, as a widower, she bought two hectares of vines in the Loire River valley where she also grew vegetables and tended to her livestock, which consisted mainly of cattle and goats. She also made cheese alongside her wine, both of which were sought after for their quality and finesse. From here the torch has been handed down through four generations of winemakers, each of whom added their own mark on the winery and Dagueneau name.
Today, the name “Serge Dagueneau & Filles” is most often associated with the region of Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire region of France. This region is known for its high acid, dry, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blancs, but the rosé is a lovely summer tipple, all crushed wild strawberries with some grapefruit zest.
