Pirramimma Petit Verdot
$28.04
A spicy, delicious, wonderful alternative to Shiraz, from a winery with roots dating back to 1892! The winery's early production involved the sale of bulk wine to the Australian and overseas market. Today, however, it's under the control of Alex and Geoffrey Johnston, who are committed to the production of high quality varietals. This Petit Verdot deserves every medal it has been awarded. Inky deep purple, well balanced oak and a good tannic core that helps to reign in the ripeness of the fruit.

Dumangin Le Rose 2012
$61.49
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650s, the Dumangins have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic, feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This non-vintage blend is made up of 47% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, and it accounts for almost 50% of their production. It is a truly delicious wine, pale salmon in colour with an enticing scent of strawberry. On the palate, it offers subtle notes of raspberry and citrus with some toasty brioche notes on the finish.

Baronia Sangria
$16.99
The Spanish figured out a thing or two about wine a long long time ago. From Valencia near the central Mediterranean coast, you can taste a tradition as old as the hills. Sangria. Serve it by the jug. That's what they do in Spain. It's red wine with oranges and lemon macerated together to create a very refreshing fruity Spanish wine punch. Just add ice and a few slices of lemon. It's great as is the price! A Spanish favourite!

A touch more professional gifting bag for corporate gifting.
Moss Wood Semillon 2023
$36.54
Semillon is a quirky white grape that is primarily known for use in Bordeaux white wine, where it is blended with Sauvignon Blanc. This bottle from Moss Wood and other 100% Semillon wines drink quite nicely when young, but also quietly have tremendous aging potential. Whether you buy a bottle to drink now, or pick up a few to cellar, you will be happy with your purchase.
More than 45 years ago, back in 1977 was the first year that Moss Wood produced a Semillon for commercial use. It was made with no barrel treatment and upon the first year of production was a major head turner. To this day, Moss Wood sticks to only stainless still fermentation for their Semillon.
Burrowing Owl Meritage
$62.04
One of Canada's finest wines! The Burrowing Owl winery and vineyard lie within one of Canada's most unique ecosystems, near the north end of Osoyoos Lake, and is one of the most highly rated grape-growing locations in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, and for that matter Canada. Here is the winemaking team's tasting note: "Vibrant and complex nose with everything from ripe raspberry, cassis, blackberry and prune plum through to dried sage brush, orange zest, clove, black olive, marzipan, dusty vanillin oak and malt. The palate is dry, rich and full bodied with crisp acidity and firm, medium-plus ripe tannins. The structure for aging is framed by plenty of dark chocolate, cocoa, cassis, black plum, black cherry, spiced berry compote, citrus peel and a touch of fig, raisin and leather. Drinking well now, it also shows the concentration to open up and evolve over a decade. Pair with rosemary and garlic studded leg of lamb or lamb tagine".
