St Antony Nierstein Riesling

$32.29

St. Antony is a top-shelf riesling producer, making high-quality wine since 1912. The ultra-modern winery they built sits on top of cellars that hold decades of premium riesling, a white grape that ages as well, if not better, than any first-growth Bordeaux or Burgundy (and for a lot less). These are dry wines, brimming with minerality and acidity, and three of the four we received are GG (Grosses Gewächs), the grand cru designation for dry German riesling. They are situated in the town of Nierstein, a charming village that is effectively the epicentre of wine in the Rheinhessen. Praised by critics and adored by riesling lovers, these are beautiful, mineral-driven wines that are delicious now and even better over time.

Terravista Fandango

$31.19

Terravista is situated in the Sub GI Area known as the Naramata Bench with over 50 wineries in the area as their neighbours.
Their Estate Vineyard, Lone Hand Ranch, is the home to the wine they call "FANDANGO". Spanish varietals, Albariño and Verdejo, typically grown in northwestern Spain and Portugal, were planted here in 2008. The southwestern slope of till sediments and stony soils of this vineyard above Naramata Road are optimal conditions for these aromatic whites with crisp acidity.

Benromach Contrasts: Virgin Oak 2013

$67.49

Bottled at 46%, this 10 year old Benromach Contrasts release was matured in virgin American oak. 

Producer Description

"In contrast to our typical maturation method at Benromach where we use first-fill Sherry and Bourbon casks, we have released a new expression within the Contrasts series, Virgin Oak. This release has matured in the best quality American Virgin Oak casks which have not previously held any other spirit."

"The oak selected is carefully air dried before being handcrafted into 250 litre hogsheads by coopers in Speyside. Once the casks are made, the oak is gently charred before being filled by our expert team with our signature subtly smoky spirit."

Pinea 17 Ribera del Duero

$97.59

Vicente Pliego and Hugo Del Pozzo, two childhood friends, turned their passion for wine culture into their life, with the firm intention of making a definitive wine. A wine called to be on a par with the greatest in the world and capable of reflecting thethe most authentic and elegant expression of Ribera del Duero. The vineyards grow in the northern part of Ribera del Duero. Located at an average altitude of 900 metres above sea level, our vines represent the perfect confluence of elements: unique soil, a demanding environment and an adverse climate. The vineyards are biodynamic, and sustainable viticulture practices are applied to mature vineyards (30 to 90+ years) planted in slightly varying soil types, with chalky sand and abundant limestone. Deeply structured rooting systems allow for vines to thrive under extreme temperatures without artificial irrigation. The result? A 100-percent Tempranillo wine aged in French and American oak that is said to rival the legendary Vega Sicilia.
