Mayu Carmenere Gran Reserva
$21.99
Originally from France's Bordeaux region, carmenere has become Chile's flagship red wine grape. Mayu Carménère Gran Reserva is made from 100% carmenere, a delicious red with plush black fruit on the palate with notes of pipe tobacco and espresso on the finish. The grapes are from the warmest part of the Elqui Valley located at the entrance of Vicuña at an altitude of 650m (2130 feet). The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and partially aged in new oak barrels. Best paired with hearty meat dishes and mature cheeses.
Mayu Sauvignon Blanc
$19.99
This is one terrific buy! Viña Mayu was established in 2005, branching off from the Elqui Valley’s first fine wine producer that started up in 1998. Mauro Olivier was one of the pioneers, planting vines for fine wine production and sourcing grapes from different vineyards in the valley. He started working in his family's vineyards at a young age and spent some time working in Pisco production (the national Chilean spirit, made from white wine). In 2000, he planted the first Carménère and Syrah vines in the valley. Five years later, in 2005, he decided it was time to embark on his own wine project, creating the Mayu label. Mayu is an ancient INCA name for the Milky Way, literally meaning "creek of stars." Mayu's Sauvignon Blanc is an intensely aromatic dry white wine with ripe gooseberry, citrus and apple fruit flavours with crisp acidity. It's best served with white fish and shellfish, and can also be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. This Sauvignon Blanc shows an opulent character, nice fruit expression, length and complexity.
Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin
$29.99
Much like the Loire region in France, Chenin Blanc tends to thrive in parts of South Africa and as such it is widely planted, yielding some excellent results. This 100% Chenin Blanc (or Steen as it is sometimes called locally) comes from the Swartland region. It is produced by the Mullineux family and it is fermented in both tanks and used French oak barrels to create a balanced wine with both silkiness and acidity. Great value in a crisp summer white.
Try pairing this versatile Chenin Blanc with Gruyère cheese, veal parmigiana, Chinese take-out, smoked salmon, or even turkey dinner.
Val d'Oca Prosecco Millesimato Brut
$34.99
Val d’Oca is one of the oldest, leading producers of Prosecco. Their sparkling wines are made with the Glera grape which is cultivated and vinified in the hills of Valdobbiadene. The mountainous vineyards of Valdobbiadene are the main source of Italy's best Prosecco, and its designation of origin is not only controlled but also guaranteed. It's pale yellow in colour with upfront citrus and floral aromas followed by stone fruit and citrus on the palate.
Coca i Fito Jade
$41.99
Spain's Montsant region is home to Coca i Fitó, a winery located in the municipality of El Masroig, in the southernmost part of the region, with nearly 30 hectares of vineyards sprawling across various municipalities, with brothers Tony and Miquel Coca i Fitó crafting wines full of soul and identity from these distinct terroirs. Garnacha is king in these parts, and the rugged terroir of Montsant allows the grapes to reach their full potential, much as they can in areas like Châteauneuf-Du-Pape. They also grow a fair bit of carinyena (aka carignan) and syrah, another commonality with Châteauneuf-Du-Pape.
Poggio al Sole Ponente
$61.99
Poggio al Sole is known for its excellent Chianti Classico, so Johannes Davaz was initially reluctant to plant Bordeaux varietals on his hill in Tuscany. But he can't argue with the results: the Poggio al Sole Ponente. This IGT Rosso Toscana (Super Tuscan) is made from 1/3 each of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Look for intense aromas and overall freshness. The taste is warm with notes of ripe fruits. Round and complex with ripe tannins, it shows hints of spice and minerality. Perfect to pair with Florentine Steak. Organic and vegan friendly!
Tedeschi Pinot Grigio
$28.99
Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition, produced almost exclusively from grapes grown on hillsides. Since 1630, their family has believed in the extraordinary potential of local wine production, enhancing its value in a modern key with innovative production and environmental management methods, with the end result of creating wines that can evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land.
