Our Wines

A fresh modern approach to winemaking has swept over Australia and gone are the overly produced, doctored wines of yesterday. This medium bodied red has hints of blueberry and an undeniable undertone of Australia's quintessential component: eucalyptus. Try with your favorite vegetarian dish.

The idea for this wine was inspired by discovering some old vine Garnacha in the western part of Catalonia. Perched high above the coast the region is dramatic. This ruby red is laced with cherry Sweetart notes and a liveliness that lends well to pairing with a creamy carbonara.

One of the oldest and most historic wineries in Spain, Guerra was founded in 1879.

Pair with calamari or goat cheese.

South Africa's very own grape: Pinotage! Once notoriously known for a flavor profile few outside that country enjoyed, today its international style is embraced everywhere. With dark fruit and smokey aromas, it pairs well with most items off the grill as well as cured meats like prosciutto.

This cheerful red from the south of France is as easy and smooth to drink as it's color suggests. With notes of cherry it behaves in many ways like Beaujolais a bit to it's north.

There is vinho verde and then there is THIS vinho verde. A cut above the rest and it should come as no surprise since three centuries of the same family has made this wine.

As one of the top estates in the Languedoc (if not southern France) the owner, Gerard Bru, spares no expense.

Place • Coteaux du Languedoc, France
FYI • The Cot. du Langedoc is a remarkable 80 miles long.

"Red ruby color. Red fruit aromas strawberry, raspberry, cherry with a few notes of almond and mild spices. Silky and lively in the mouth. A pleasant and easy-drinking wine, to accompany every day meals, casual and friendly moments. Perfectly matches with Mediterranean food."
