Road 13 Sparkling
$51.99
Here's a sparkling wine that well.......sparkles! Loads of citrus fruits showcasing grapefruit, lemon rind, lime zest and quince. Completing the layers of flavours on the palate is shortbread crumbs, honeysuckle, toasted almond and yeasty bakery notes from the two years of lees contact. Chenin Blanc is legendary for its racy acidity yet this one is also beautifully balanced with great length.

Benjamin Bridge Brut
$72.99
A gorgeous sparkling wine from Canada's own Benjamin Bridge! This Nova Scotia-based winery is making some world-class bubbles, and winning awards all around the world. See what the fuss is about. And Forbes magazine picked this 2008 beauty as one of only three sparkling wines it recommended for its Thanksgiving wines this year: "Yes, Nova Scotia. The Gaspereau Valley on the Bay of Fundy, to be exact. I poured this wine for a group of friends the other night, and it was the winner by far even before they knew it was from Nova Scotia. Learning that, and the novelty of its origin, meant they liked it even more…"
JL Denois Brut Rose
$34.99
Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Southwest France is the coolest climate and highest elevation appellation in the Languedoc: Limoux. There, outside the lofty Medieval village of Roquetaillade, lives Limoux's most famous vigneron, Jean-Louis Denois, the gentleman responsible for bringing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to this ideal terroir in the 80’s. His eponymous domaine, founded after he sold his first Limoux project Domaine de l’Aigle to Gerard Bertrand twenty years back, includes 15 hectares of vines at 400-500 meters above sea level on limestone and clay soils. Denois quickly rose to prominence in France for offering incredible bubbles at incredible prices. His crémants used the finest techniques and clones of Champagne without the same price tag, earning the regard of leading Champagne experts like Jancis Robinson who deemed the wines “a little fruitier, more opulent, and less obviously lees-aged than the best champagnes but infinitely better than cheap champagne” by the turn of the millennium. The wines have only continued on their path to terroir singularity and deliciousness over these last twenty years.
Domaine Evremond Classic Cuvee
$112.99
Domaine Evremond launched at Westminster Abbey in 2015, making English Sparkling Wine history. A unique partnership between Champagne Taittinger and their British friends, Hatch Mansfield, this marked the first time that a Champagne house had invested in the United Kingdom with the ambition of producing a top quality sparkling wine. Domaine Evremond takes its name from Charles de Saint-Évremond (1613-1703), a Frenchman and the first true ambassador for the wines of Champagne, who fuelled its popularity in England at the court of Charles II. A poet, epicurean and literary critic, he was buried in Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. The Taittinger family, passionate historians, have always been inspired by the Evremond story and named their own historic venture in his memory. From the beginning, the search for a suitable site was focussed on Kent with its reputation as ‘The Garden of England’. Known as one of the warmest, driest counties in England, combined with its free draining chalk soils, the regional profile mirrors that of Champagne.
El Maestro Sierra Fino
$47.99
The passing time and its core idea of quality over quantity have made El Maestro Sierra wines into little works of art; wines of extreme age and quality, and recognized all over the world.

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.
