Tedeschi Valpolicella
$28.99
Valpolicella is the famous wine growing region in the north of Italy. Generally three grapes are used in the production of Valpolicella: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The grapes are harvested by hand at the beginning of October and, after fermentation, rest in large oak barrels for a year. The resulting wine is very fresh with clear notes of cherry and currants. This wine is the perfect 1, 2 punch for Pizza or pasta. Complete your Italian meal with this bright beauty.
Poggio al Sole Chianti Classico
$32.29
A charming Chianti Classico from an excellent producer, and a Kensington Wine Market exclusive! Giovanni Davaz owns fifteen precious hectares of vineyards in Tavernelle Val di Pesa where he grows very fine Sangiovese, muscular Cabernet Sauvignon, and dense, powerful Syrah. Generous use of small barrels in vinification barely tame the exuberant, broad fruit quality of his wines, and the firm, large-scaled tannic structure in them makes them suitable for extended aging. Ripe and rich fruit gives this wine lush notes of sweet cherries and leather. Very food friendly, especially with herb-roasted chicken. Organic and vegan friendly! Made from 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo.
Lamura Pinot Grigio
$19.99
Always in the running for our best-selling white, especially in the summer, and as of 2021 it's certified organic! Its straw yellow in colour, with some copper reflections that revoke the typical colour of the grape. This wine has an intense bouquet of fruits such as apple, melon and citrus, matched well with more delicate mineral aromas. Fresh and zesty, it pairs well with seafood and fish.
Sicily has a history of wine-making that dates back to ancient times. Blessed with consistently bright sunshine and reliably moderate rainfall, Sicily’s classic Mediterranean climate is ideally suited to the production of organic wine grapes.
Terminus Meldor
$29.99
Ana & Carlos Gonzales (of Bodegas Terminus) met in high school and have been together ever since. Their only time apart was when Carlos decided to undertake his university studies in Oenology in Tarragona rather than his homeland of Rioja, while Ana studied Oenology right in Rioja. Both winemakers work for or have worked for some of the top brands you can find in Spain, but they always wanted to have a project of their own. When they found the right partners and the right vineyard sites in Rioja Alavesa, they knew that the time had come to focus their knowledge and passion on making their own wines. This is a small production Rioja full of personality that conveys care, craftsmanship and quality! A great Tempranillo from the heart of Rioja, it's a smooth, rich wine with notes of summer berries, spice and toffee. Aged for 4 months in barrel, this wine is fuller in style, with soft, yet firm tannins. Serve with hearty dishes such as beef stew, vegetarian chilli, and hearty soups.
A KWM Exclusive!
Paolo Leo Pinot Grigio
$26.99
Although Pinot Grigio is more common in Northern regions such as Veneto and Friuli, there is something to be said about producers growing Pinot Grigio in the South. With the right soil, proper care, and a knowledgeable (and talented) winemaker, Pinot Grigio from Puglia can be a fresh and fruity summer sip. Perfect to be served as an aperitif or complement to summer seafood dishes.
Tedeschi San Rocco Ripasso
$39.99
Tedeschi boasts a deep bond with the Valpolicella region that has kept it on the path of quality and tradition, produced 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 are able to evoke emotion and render homage to the magnificent land
Ripasso wine is made using an ancient winemaking technique called "ripasso." (Some call it the poor man's Amarone!) The young Valpolicella wine is fermented with the unpressed but drained skins and lees left over from making Amarone. This adds flavour and intensity, though Ripasso normally has a lighter taste than Amarone wines, which makes it easier to combine with food, and is often less expensive. Fruity, well-balanced and very well structured. Best food matches are: red meat, game and cheeses.
Canneto Vino Nobile Montepulciano 2019

A step up in complexity from its ready-to-drink Rosso Di Montepulciano sibling, this elegant organic red wine (made of 90% Sangiovese, 5% each Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon) drinks like a baby Brunello thanks to 18 months spent in French oak.
Castello D`Alba White
$28.99
This white wine from the Douro is made with Rabigato, Gouveio, and Viosinho grapes; all of which are local to Portugal and the Douro Valley. The vines are dry farmed and the grapes are harvested by hand with vinification and aging before taking place in stainless-steel vats.
Le Clos des Cazaux Vacqueyras Templiers
$48.99
Le Clos des Cazaux estate has been a family property focused on viticulture for five generations since Gabriel Archimbaud, an ancestor, was one of the first to produce wines from Vacqueyras in 1947. It is now owned and operated by brothers Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. They farm 35 hectares, 20 in Vacqueyras and another 15 in Gigondas. They own mostly low-yielding hillside vineyards, fashioning high-quality white wines, rosés, and red blends. Their Gigondas vineyards are situated in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail massif range that has been in the family since the 1950s. This very special terroir benefits from the solar power of the southern slope, balanced by the cool nights at higher altitudes, mostly on clay soils. The reds are blended primarily from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. however, they include lesser-known grapes such as Aubun, Counoise, Cinsault, Muscardin and Carignan. The white wines mainly employ old-vine Clairette, complemented by Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and a little Viognier.
