Fatalone Primitivo Riserva 2017
$54.99This wonderfully balanced and mature, authentic primitivo boasts great intensity of tobacco spice, sweet blackberries, chewy tannins and gentle oak underpinned by energetic acidity rarely seen in wines from this part of the world.
In the 7th Edition of the the World Atlas of Wine (Jancis Robinson & Hugh Johnson) Fatalone’s Primitivo Riserva is listed as one of the top 4 wines from Southern Italy and the most notable winery of the DOC Gioia del Colle.
Lavau Envyfol GSM Pays d’Oc 2020
$22.9945% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre.
Delicious ripe fruits on the nose accent the full-bodied mouth. The supple tannins provides a quintessential “GSM” character. A delicious pick for any time of the year!
Ch. de Hureau Saumur-Champigny Tuffe 2019
$41.99An utterly charming Saumur-Champigny that comes from a selection of vines planted on limestone tuffe soils. Ripe, juicy and bursting with velvety redcurrant and bramble fruit, gentle acidity on the palate and notes of sweet earth, smoke and cherry towards the finish.
Sacchetto Prosecco Brut
$27.99Fresh citrus with hints of honey and white flowers on the nose. The flavour is fresh and clean, with ripe citrus, lemon and green apple. The finish is light, refreshing and deliciously crisp.
Antonio Scala Ciro Classico
$36.99A superb single-vineyard Ciró Rosso made from 100% Gaglioppo grown in sandy clay soils, fermented in stainless steel and aged in concrete for a year. It has an enticing nose of red fruits, orange peel, scrub-brush, baking spices, and a deeper, cherry kirsch sweetness.
Antonio Scala Ciro Blanco 2021
$33.99100% Greco, from a 2 hectare vineyard located in Cirò (Crotone district). Spicy, fresh aromas of peach, quince and honeysuckle hold much allure. The palate is white spice, salty, fresh and focused. This is an irresistible example of the native Greco grape.
“I think greco bianco (unrelated to Campania’s greco di Tufo) is potentially one of Italy’s best native grape varieties.” – Ian d’Agata
Montezemolo Monfalleto Barolo 2019
$112.99The Nebbiolo that comes off this property is some of the best in La Morra. Even in challenging vintages the Monfalletto terroir yields Nebbiolo that is both powerful and supple. Insiders know that this is one of the best terroirs in Barolo. The 2019 vintage is perhaps its best yet, with stellar ratings across the board – it captures the true essence of the Langhe region.
“The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore. With 53,000 bottles released, this is the estate’s most representative Barolo.”

Champalou Vouvray Sec 2019
$44.99A delicate straw yellow in colour. Aromas of green apples and quince. Dry, supple and elegant on the palate with further green fruit notes. The crisp finish makes this an ideal food wine. Try with a wild rice salad, escalopes of pork with a fennel and green bean salad or with a simple grilled trout.
Chateau d’Aydie Madiran 2016
$59.99Deep, intense ruby red. Fine, elegant and complex on the nose, with a blend of black fruit and coffee aromas. It starts off rich and follows through with a mature consistency and silky tannins. Fine, precise woody mouth aromas. An exceptional Madiran, powerful and complex, with unusual potential. This wine can very easily be kept for 7 to 10 years.
Champalou Vouvray Fondraux
$47.99100% Chenin Blanc. A hint of residual sweetness which gives concentration and fullness to the palate. White flowers dominate the nose which helps out its freshness and minerality. Pairs perfectly with seafood and cold dishes.
Serge Mathieu 2009 Brut Millesime
$124.99It has structure, power and length, and bears the mark of its Pinot Noir. It clearly shows all the work that has been carried out in the vineyards since only very ripe and small grapes can produce such density and structure in a Champagne. 8.6 grams dosage.
Entirely made from Pinot Noir… clear, fresh and straight fruit of yellow skinned apples and Williams pears along with citrus flavors and some stony notes on the nose. This is remarkably elegant and delicate with a mineral backbone and an excellent grippy finish.
