La Palma Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
$17.99
Exclusive to KWM - This estate at Peumo in the Cachapoal valley is one of the oldest in Chile. Established in 1824, it has been continually owned and operated by the Ossa family. The region enjoys a cooling effect from the Pacific that helps preserve freshness and natural acidity. Vina La Rosa's Estate Grown La Palma Cabernet Sauvignon is a crowd-pleaser of red wine both for its flavour and its price. It is hard to find a Cabernet Sauvignon that shows so well for so little cost! Medium to full-bodied in style, it's fruit-forward with light tannins and no oak used in maturation. It can stand up to your steak, but it will pair nicely with a burger, pork ribs, or roast chicken.
Chateau Siran
$131.99
Although its location, its terroir and its reputation largely deserved to be included in the 1855 classification, the Toulouse-Lautrec family, owners of Siran, legitimists and faithful to their family tradition, had declined the invitation to be included in this “Bonapartist classification”. At one time classified Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel alongside the châteaux Phélan-Ségur, Haut-Marbuzet, Chasse-Spleen, Château Siran is now charting its own unique and singular path on the road to excellence. There have been ownership changes as one would expect from a winery that is 165 years old. In 2007, Édouard Miailhe took over the reins of the estate from his parents ( who also own Châteaux Palmer, Pichon-Lalande and Ormes de Pez). He has undertaken very important investments to restructure and modernize the vineyard, the vat room, the arrival of the harvest, the aging cellar, the tasting rooms, the shop and the cellar. These considerable efforts allow Siran today to fully assume its place as one of the assimilated Classified Growths of 1855.

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino
$124.99
Hardly any other Tuscan winery is as closely related to the founding fathers of Brunello di Montalcino as the small business of Simonetta Valiani and her husband Nicolò Magnelli. Le Chiuse is located south of Montalcino between the villages of Montosoli and Canalicchi and belonged to the aristocratic Biondi-Santi family from the 18th century onwards, whose Sangiovese wine made history in 1888 as the very first Brunello di Montalcino.
Strictly speaking, Simonetta is the niece of Franco Biondi-Santi, the last representative of this Tuscan wine dynasty, who had a special knack for single-varietal Sangiovese wines. In his opinion, the vineyards of Le Chiuse were among the best situated in the whole of Montalcino, which is why he had leased Simonetta's vineyards for the production of his legendary and long-lived Brunello Riserva wines for many years.
Moraine Estate Pinot Noir
$37.99
Moraine Winery is a family-owned winery and vineyard overlooking Okanagan lake minutes away from the city of Penticton. From its shelf-like location above striking clay bluffs, Moraine peers over the landscape and water. These glaciated white clay cliffs comprise the breathtaking Naramata Bench and inspire the winery’s land-formed name.
The winery owners are the husband-wife team of Oleg & Svetlana. In 1995, the couple moved to Canada from Europe to give their family a better quality of life. They first moved to the city of Edmonton where they lived for 15 years. They were charmed by the beauty of the Okanagan and vineyards which made them relocate from Alberta in 2009. The couple believes that wine offers one of life’s most simple, enjoyable, and accessible pleasures; and this philosophy spurred their leap into the wine industry.
L'Orme de Rauzan Gassies
$54.99
Property of the Quie family, Chateau Rauzan-Gassies is on 30 hectares of vines in the Margaux appellation and 30 hectares in the Haut-Medox appellation. It is this famous terroir of Haut-Medox where l'Orme de Rauzan-Gassies comes from. This story began in 1936, when Paul Quie offered Chateau Bel_Orme as a wedding gift to his wife, Lucienne, and continued a few years later, when they purchased together Chateau Rauzan-Gassies. Since then, the Orme residence has been the new generation's family home, revisiting with l'Orme de Rauzan-Gassies, the finesse of a great wine, charming and fruity.
Mayu Pinot Noir Gran Reserva
$27.99
400 kilometres north of Santiago, Chile, sits the Elqui Valley, effectively a high-altitude desert (the Atacama Desert) in the Coquimbo Region. The vineyards extend from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes, and the arid region relies on the Elqui River for irrigation, which is essential if grapes are to flourish here. At 2000 metres above sea level, it draws a parallel to the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina, on the other side of the Andes.
The soils are composed mainly of clay, silt and chalk, and the hot, clear days and cool nights offer near-perfect growing conditions. It's also one of the darkest places on earth to stargaze, and as such, it's a World UNESCO Heritage Site, drawing both wine lovers and stargazers alike. Viña Mayu was established in 2005 as a separate winery from the Elqui Valley’s first fine wine producer, which was founded in 1998.
Mauro Olivier was one of the pioneers planting vines for fine wine production, sourcing the grapes from the different parts of the valley. He started working on his family vineyards for table grape production at a young age, and years later, he began 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, he decided it was time to embark on his own wine project, under the Mayu label. Mayu is an ancient INCA name for the Milky Way, meaning "creek of stars."
