A. Margaine Rose de Saignee
$147.99
The Champagnes from father-daughter duo Arnaud & Mathilde Margaine are a KWM exclusive, and they are exceptional. With vineyards based in Montagne de Reims, they specialize in Chardonnay (90%) although they also have a small plot of Pinot Noir. This small estate (7 hectares) was started by Arnaud's father (Bernard) in the 1950s and is organically farmed. The vines average 35 years of age and the Chardonnay is produced from a clone unique to the area.
Carlisle Papa`s Block Syrah
$76.99
"Very dark purple-ruby. Nearly opaque. A heady, intoxicating nose of blackberry, smoked meats, and herbs. Smells deliciously savory. Quite smooth and silky on entry, flavors of blackberry and blueberry are intertwined with lavender, violets, and spice cake. Gentle tannins emerge on the long and persistent finish. Totally compelling and a wine of great beauty and harmony. Already drinking well due to its impeccable balance, enjoy from release through 2028" Winery
Croix des Pins Ventoux Blanc
$27.99
This white wine is a blend of Rolle (Vermentino), Marsanne, Grenache, Roussanne, and Clairette. It is part of Les 3 Villages line, from grapes
Carlisle Radiant Ridge Mourvedre
$76.99
100% Mourvèdre. Harvested in late October. 80% destemmed and 20% whole-cluster. 14% new and 86% neutral French oak.
A new wine from Carlisle! While the Mourvèdre harvests are typically blended with Syrah to create their "The Integral" blend, the 2018 vintage of Mourvèdre demanded a single-varietal release. This is a ferocious, mysterious Mourvèdre with shocking presence and more than a nod to Southern French examples.
This wine is tremendously cellar-worthy. Enjoy 2025 through 2040.
Siegel Cabernet Reserva
$22.99
Alberto Siegel and his father founded Viña Siegel (now Siegel Family Wines) in 1980. They started planting vineyards in Colchagua and building the winery in Santa Cruz. When Don Germán died in 1998, Alberto became the owner, together with his family. Initially, Viña Siegel only sold bulk wines to the biggest Chilean wineries, like Concha y Toro, San Pedro and Santa Rita. In 1997, Alberto decided to enter the bottled wine business and made the necessary investments to go ahead with this project.
Marie Courtin Presence
$159.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! The champagnes from Marie-Courtin are truly something special. An ultra-fine, elegant style with amazing freshness. Delicate and racy, yet absolutely unique in style thanks in part to biodynamic viticulture. All her grapes are grown in a single plot of 2.5 hectares, which is also the total size of the domain that Dominique Moreau founded in 2000. Because all her wines come from a single vineyard, she has decided to emphasize the differences in champagnes through vinification. There are wines matured in barrique, amphorae, enamel tanks and one without sulfur. All come from the 2.5 hectares of single vineyard on the Kimmeridge marl soil of the Soden, on the Côte des Bar. Winemaker Dominique Moreau, who named the estate after her grandmother, is a master of purism. Her champagnes are delicate and elegant, yet with underlying power and a high degree of drinking pleasure.
Présence Sans Soufre is a blend of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay that deftly balances richness with energy. Orchard fruit, mint, citrus and floral notes are wonderfully pure and delineated throughout. Today, the Présence comes across as the most gracious wine in the range. You will not want to miss this utterly exquisite, dazzling Champagne from Dominique Moreau. Zero dosage.
Rockford Grenache Mataro Shiraz
$74.99
A soft, spicy blend that captures the rustic heartbeat of the Barossa. Moppa Springs is a place where green vines grow on one side of the fence and ripened wheat on the other. This country can be tough on grapes and vines but in this case, the Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro give their best.
Kay Brothers Basket Pressed Shiraz
$44.99
For well over a century, Shiraz has played the main role in producing wines of outstanding quality, depth and longevity at Kay Brothers. The Basket Press Shiraz continues this tradition. The vineyards sourced for this wine have a predominantly eastern exposure. The soil varies from sandy loam at the top of the hill to heavier loam and clay as it transcends down the hill toward the creek. The dry climate forces the vine roots, ranging from 9 - 18 years, to delve into the complex underlying geology consisting of quartz and ironstone gravels, weathered and calcareous sandstone, siltstone and limestone.
Barone Valforte Pecorino Abruzzo DOC
$23.99
Made from the Pecorino grape - not from Pecorino Romano cheese - though they definitely pair well together. This Pecorino from Tenute Barone di Valforte is made from grapes grown in the vineyards within the Abruzzo Pecorino D.O.C.
