From the Producer
The 2022 Glow was produced from 100% Naramata grown Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir comes from two vineyards, along the bench; “This is It” and our Partridge vineyard, which is close to Naramata Village. The fruit from these vineyards were picked a three weeks apart and underwent a 3-4 day cold soak. This is it vineyard was picked and was done fermenting by the time partridge vineyard was picked. The Partridge vineyard Pinot Noir was fermented with indigenous yeast and was blended right after fermentation was complete.

Cirelli Orange
$37.99
A stone’s throw away from the Adriatic coast is the entirely organic Cirelli estate, run by Francesco Cirelli and his wife, Michela, who in addition to making wine, farms olives, garlic, spelt, wheat, barley, figs, and geese – an entire, self-sustaining ecosystem. Carrying on their days surrounded by rolling hills, the grapes also enjoy a maritime influence that helps preserve natural balance and fresh acidity in the baked Abruzzo sun. The citric and aromatic trebbiano grapes are destemmed before one month of maceration, pulling glossy tannins. Gold in colour, with hay bale, a bundle of wildflowers, linseed, green pear, white nectarine, raw almond, coriander seed & silky fresh lemony acid.
Rudolf Rabl St. Laurent Red
$32.99
Want to try a grape that's not well-known in Canada? Check out this beautiful red wine from Rabl, a well-known Austrian producer; this one is made from the little-known red grape, St Laurent. A bright, clean, fresh red wine that's light- to medium-bodied, with great acidity. Very food-friendly, too!
Burrowing Owl Meritage
$72.99
One of Canada's finest wines! The Burrowing Owl winery and vineyard lie within one of Canada's most unique ecosystems, near the north end of Osoyoos Lake, and is one of the most highly rated grape-growing locations in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, and for that matter Canada. Here is the winemaking team's tasting note: "Vibrant and complex nose with everything from ripe raspberry, cassis, blackberry and prune plum through to dried sage brush, orange zest, clove, black olive, marzipan, dusty vanillin oak and malt. The palate is dry, rich and full bodied with crisp acidity and firm, medium-plus ripe tannins. The structure for aging is framed by plenty of dark chocolate, cocoa, cassis, black plum, black cherry, spiced berry compote, citrus peel and a touch of fig, raisin and leather. Drinking well now, it also shows the concentration to open up and evolve over a decade. Pair with rosemary and garlic studded leg of lamb or lamb tagine".
Durigutti Bonarda
$22.99
Hector and Pablo Durigutti were born in Mendoza, the cradle of Argentinian wine and were raised together. Their childhood and their home were always connected to a sensorial world, with aromas, ingredients and flavours that, over time, motivated them to choose the path to become enologists. As adults, they would find these familiar memories and similar passions. In 2002 they dedicated their efforts to the creation of a small family winey. Today the brothers have evolved to form a new generation of winemakers, leading an evolutionary change in Argentina’s viticulture. Their range includes the value-driven Abeja wines and the upper-tier Las Compuertas offerings produced from the oldest vineyard sites.
Great value and a Kensington Wine Market exclusive! Brought to Argentina in the 19th century by Italian immigrants, Bonarda is the most widely planted red grape variety in Argentina. Also known as Charbono, Corbeau or Douce Noire, the grape was historically grown in the Savoie region in the French Alps. DNA analysis has proven that the Argentina Bonarda is in fact not related to the Italian grape Bonarda di Chieri and Bonarda del Monferrato from Piedmont. The grape produces a light, fruity wine that is sometimes served chilled. The Durigutti brothers, Hector and Pablo, have made an exceptional example of this little-known variety.
Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano Docg
$63.99
A favourite of wine critics across North America! "I can’t think of too many wines from Carmignano I would rather drink than these fabulous wines from the Vannucci family," says the team at Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. "Piaggia is another winery that has been on a tear of late. Softer, gentler extractions and longer aging in oak are some of the evolutions in the approach at Piaggia over the last few year." A Super-Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this big red is bold and vibrant, with notes of spice, dark fruit and a hint of herbs.
Glen Carlou Grand Classique
$29.99
This little South African gem is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc. There's lots going on here! Look for ripe and concentrated sweet cranberry, cherry and cocoa flavours. A rich and well-balanced red with fine tannins, it's a great food wine that pairs well with lamb cutlets or a great steak. This is Glen Carlou’s flagship red Bordeaux blend – you will be rewarded by cellaring this wine for up to 10 years.
Moon Curser Border Vines
$41.99
The 2022 vintage of Moon Curser's Border Vines is made of 35% Petit Verdot, 33% merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16% Cab Franc.
