Keltis Zan White
$38.99
The Zan White is a blend of rumeni plavec, muscat, traminec, žametna črnina, pinot blanc, riesling, and kraljevina. This field blend is only 10.5% and offers an aromatic experience. It's dry on the palate, with notes of grilled pineapple, guava, yellow melon and a squeeze of lemon. This one will go down easy, trust us. Abi recently enjoyed a bottle with some salt & vinegar kettle chips and highly recommends the pairing!
Keltis is one of the leading producers within Bizeljsko, focusing on native varietals with a low-intervention approach. For over 250 years, the Kelhar family has been tending to the fertile hills around Bizeljsko and in 1989, Marijan Kehlar started to spend more time in the winery than the family farm, creating wines for his new label, Keltis. Since then, Marijan has handed over the reins to his son, Miha, who has continued on the family legacy, producing some of the most interesting and delicious natural wines in Slovenia. They follow a biodynamic calendar, and work with wines is done at the time of the full moon, when the wine is at its peak and can fully express its potential.
Domaine des Aubuisieres Vouvray Brut
$26.99
Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
The Chenin Blanc of Vouvray brings riper citrus and tree fruit to the bready flavours of Methode Traditionelle and racy, mineral acidity from the Loire Valley soils. A great bubbly with flavour, ripeness, and minerality - at a very approachable price. Buy a bottle and take it over to Peasant Cheese and they will be happy to recommend a cheese pairing!
Charles Baker Riesling Can
$10.99
Just in time for warmer weather, Charles Baker Riesling now comes in cans! Take this single serving wine with you to the lake, the beach or just to the back deck.
Winemaker's notes: Vivid youthful nose Riesling nose of white peach, lemon, Empire apple, and a hint of melba toast. As it warms in the glass, the classic Ontario limestone you expect with a Charles Baker wine wafts up from the glass with a little beeswax in tow. Lovely poise on the palate at this age, with youthful acids set against textbook juicy Riesling fruit. More citrus on the palate at present, all lemony-mandarin over apple and the promise of papaya. Delicious now, it will be so much fun to see what this sexy Riesling gains with age!
Three Sisters Rose
$31.99
We are really excited about these wines, because one of the "Three Sisters", Rebecca Mikulic (nee Lawrence) used to work here at KWM. That and the wines are also delicious! Rebecca and her husband winemaker Matthew Mikulic grow grapes throughout the Okanagan, and have a winery on the Naramata Bench. This 100% Pinot Noir Rose was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Producer Description

Blasted Church Pinot Noir
$36.99

Blasted Church was the first winery to add Skaha Bench to its front label and we're proud to carry every last remaining bottle in Canada! This Pinot is everything you love about elegant Pinot Noir from the Pacific Northwest. Crunchy cranberry, earthy, black raspberry and mouthwatering acidity balanced by a hint of tannin structure. A remarkable wine from a remarkable region.

Chateau Tracy Les Marnes
$32.99
A stunning light red wine from Menetou-Salon in the Loire Valley. Elegance is an understatement, but don't let the light style fool you -- there is plenty of complexity packed into this little gem. Balanced flavours of fruit and minerality, soft tannin expression, refreshing acidity. You'll get strawberry, rasbperry and cranberry notes along with a lovely saline quality through to the finish.
Enjoy on its own, slightly chilled. Also makes a great pairing with grilled or baked salmon, angel-hair pasta topped with a light tomato-basil sauce, or turkey dinner with homemade cranberry sauce.
Winemaker's Cut Syrah
$49.99
A classic, cool climate Syrah with rich, dark fruit, fresh acidity, ripe tannins and balanced alcohol. It has the peppery notes you love in Australia Shiraz and the hint of smoke you love about Rhone Valley Syrah.

Scoring 91 Points from Wine Align, don't miss out of this gem from South of Oliver, BC.
