A consistent favourite in the extensive Telmo Rodriguez portfolio, and one of the best-value wines in a country not short on bargains. This 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is intense, sinewy and dark but with a seam of brightness that makes it effortlessly drinkable.

Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years.

Mencia

 

The influence of the Atlantic Ocean is on full display, with its moderating influence playing its part in bringing balance to this wine. While it is ripe and full bodied, much like its white counterpart, this is vibrant and focussed, with no shortage of complexity and minerality.

Telmo’s red wine, once again from Galicia, is a red that shows the character of the stony hills and the Atlantic Ocean. This is a red wine made of 100% Mencia, a Spanish varietal found scattered through the country’s northwest. The vineyards are organically farmed, and the fruit is fermented again in stainless steel in order to maintain freshness, and using indigenous yeasts. 

 

95 Points, Decanter

Telmo Rodríguez’s journey through Spain reviving and recuperating vineyards has led him to work with 43 different varieties. Although established in Rioja, he has also put Málaga back on the map and worked with Garnacha in the Sierra de Gredos, as well as establishing wineries in other regions. This Mencía is fermented and aged in stainless steel, revealing the variety’s purity. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Forward, juicy aromas. Distinctly individual profile, with dense, succulent fruit and a long, ripe finish. Beth Willard: Pretty nose with tomato vine, sour cherry, floral. Very crunchy, green freshness and just the right amount of grippy tannin. Highly drinkable. David Williams: Lovely, pure, graceful and fragrant – full of violet and raspberry juice, racy and succulent with silky tannins and a twist of bergamot and blood orange tang, beetroot earthiness. Almost Pinot-esque

This is one of the most significant Valpolicella Superiore in the area and is obtained from the grapes of the Sant’Urbano vineyard.

This bright yellow wine with pale greenish highlights is made from a careful selection of bunches of grapes. The bouquet conveys hints of citrus fruits, crusty bread and fleshy yellow fruit such as apricots. The taste is fruity and fresh, well-structured, with a well-balanced acidity and minerality.

 

Among the green hills of Western Sicily, a few kilometres from the ancient Norman town of Monreale, the Di Lorenzo family cultivates one of the native Sicilian grapes par excellence, Grillo. The grapes are hand-picked and then delicately destemmed and crushed. The cooled and softly pressed must is transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 13°C. After 30-40 days of slow fermentation, the resulting wine is racked and kept on lees for at least a month to enhance its volume and structure. The wine is aged in steel for four months followed by two months’ bottle-ageing.

The idea of this cuvee came up as a result of small harvests in 2016 and 2017. Because the frost destroyed about 80% of crops, Vincent had asked some friends to help create this new blend, vinified in his cellar, in order to offer it to his loyal customers. 

The wine is lightly racked overnight, fermented for 12 days with indigenous yeasts, and aged on its lees until bottling. It is yellow-green in colour, with fruity aromas and notes of citrus. It's light in alcohol and pairs well with seafood and vegetable starters. 

The colour of this wine is clear and bright and it exudes fresh and fruity aromas of kiwi, green apple and citrus. The acidity is clean and refreshing. It tastes like the ocean and is especially suitable for all kinds of seafood, especially shellfish.

Basa is made from Verdejo and Viura grapes in the Rueda DO, about two hours northwest of Madrid. The name comes from the 40-year-old 'baso' or bush-trained vines that are planted on limestone-rich soils at over 700-meters elevation on a plateau along the Duero River.

Organically farmed, this wine has complex notes of white flower, slate, and petrol. The palate reveals candied ginger, pineapple, and pear. Well-balanced Rieslings such as this one are well suited for foods with some acidity such as an apple glazed pork belly, or any dish with a bit of spice like Pad Thai.

 

Tawse Grower's Blend Cab Franc - 2020

Made from select Cabernet Franc vineyards in Niagara. The Grower’s Blend Cab Franc from the 2020 vintage is ripe, rich and smooth due to the near-perfect growing conditions. Barrel aged for 16 months, this wine shows notes of blueberry, blackberry,cigar box. A prime example of of how well Cabernet Franc does as a single varietal in Ontario.

 

Bachelder Gamay Wiley - 2022

A pure mid-cherry colour that leads to a graceful pomegranate, sour-cherry and cherry-pit nose and offers a fuller mouthfeel with a muted fruit and a rusty, iron-tinged edge so typical of Bench wines. Make no mistake: there is great volume developing here. The “cérises vanillées” ride on a great wave of orange zest and grenadine-like fruit that almost obscures the liquorice-all-sorts complexity.

 

Bachelder Villages Pinot - 2020

Elegant, immense and lightly astringent. A great, corrupt nose of red and black fruit shines – currently with cloves and spice behind and already turning agreeably tertière! Lovely and rose-petaled, and rich in the mouth. The striking acidity and the glycerine-silkiness simply surprise! The finish is long, and only slightly (but ripely) tannic. Shockingly good now, yet so ageable over half a decade! Here, right here, is a wine that will be largely drunk TOO YOUNG -  but still has much, so much to give, to reveal! If you want to age a truly great Pinot Noir that doesn’t cost $$$, this is the one!

 

The Long Way Home Chardonnay - 2022

A classic expression of Chardonnay grown in the cool-climate of the Beamsville Bench. Made from a single vineyard with minimal intervention, this is a blend of cool, skin fermented and whole bunch pressed, barrel fermented fruit, aged for 10 months in French oak. The wine shows fresh aromatics, balanced natural acidity and a fine, creamy texture.

 

Benjamin Bridge Brut - NV

In the glass, a pale golden colour with a straw hue. On the nose, the wine displays suggestions of smoke and lemon rind with strong sea minerals undertones. The palate is luscious, but with good intensity and vibrancy. Hints of green apples and dried cranberries are magnified by the wine’s bright structure, unfolding in a lengthy mineral finish.

 

 

Each case contains 2 bottle of each:

 

 

Poggio al Tesoro Il Seggio, Tuscany - 2022

 

Intense ruby red in color. The nose offers nice fresh and crunchy fruit, enriched with mineral and spicy notes. The palate is medium bodied with red berry notes. The tannins are elegant, silky, enveloping and very soft. The finish is precise, clean and lively.

 

Chateau Bernadotte Bordeaux - 2016

 

A focused and refined young wine with lovely tannins, impressive depth of fruit and a juicy finish. Medium body. Well-crafted already. Best from here in a long time. This latest vintage, with its rich tannins and dense flavours, has concentration as well as attractive black-fruit lusciousness.

 

Blankbottle Brave, Stellenbosch - 2021

 

Grown in the Helderberg Vineyard - right next to Somerset West. Decomposed granitic soil down the mountain at 190 meters above sea level protected against the South Easter. The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were destemmed to open top fermenters. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation and stayed on the skins for as long as possible. Pressed into French oak small barrels - 40% new oak, 18 months in barrel, blended and bottled.

Incredible acidic cut will make this fantastic at the table and a great candidate for short term aging.

 

The wines of Domaine Christophe all display classic Chablis notes of shells and green apples on the nose, along with a pretty, underlying hint of white flower and lemon. It's the kind of bright nose that gives the drinker an intimation of the acidity and tension that will follow on the palate, which is indeed nervy but also generous with an appealing balance of flavours offset by a rocky, shell-y harmony. The wine finishes with the sort of mouth-coating minerality and mouth-watering citrusy acidity that makes Chablis a favourite amongst lovers of wines that truly reflect their terroir.

Winemaker Notes

The originality of our cuvée Mozaik is an assembly of Cabernet franc from two great terroirs and subsoil of Anjou: schist of Anjou “black” and limestone of Anjou “white”. The grapevines are cultivated in organic farming which has been converted to biodynamic farming. In order to get a gentle extraction of aromas and tannins, grape maceration is soft and smooth. The fermentation takes place in tanks and the aging has been done in neutral French oaks. A drop of sulfur is added before bottling to preserve the purity of our wines.

A garnet red color,. The bouquet is mixed with aromas of red fruit and black fruit. The mouth-feel is structured with beautiful acidity and a little tannic.

The 2019 Pegaso Zeta was produced with old vine Garnacha on granite and schist soils; it fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak and stainless steel vats and amphorae, and it matured in a combination of 500- and 600-liter barrels, amphorae and stainless steel for 12 months. It's aromatic and expressive, with red fruit and herbs and unnoticeable oak. It's round and juicy, powerful and balanced with some grainy tannins.

Fully saturated red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, blackberry, spices, violet and grilled nuts. Sweet and silky but also juicy and lively, thanks to harmonious acidity keeping the nicely concentrated flavors vibrant. This boasts excellent balance; not at all made in a jammy style, this finishes very clean, steely, and classically dry (about 3 g/L rs), with a very typical underlying note of graphite. A blend of 70% Corvina and Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara all grown at roughly 400 meters asl but the vines are specifically located where the hill changes direction, such that the grapes bask in a fresher, windier, and more sunlit area . There the grapes ripen because of the light and not of the heat, which is important because while the grapes need to be concentrated, they also need to have enough acidity. The wine ages three and a half to four years in oak and then one year in bottle. Drinking window: 2027-2038.

Savagnin blanc is mostly grown in the Jura. It is most famous as the only grape allowed in the vin jaunes of Château-Chalon and L'Étoile, similar to fino sherry with a covering of flor but not fortified and without the use of the solera system.

100% Savagnin aged for 4 years in barrel without being topped up before bottling. This is a “baby Vin Jaune” according to Jean Francois. Powerful aromatics and richness.

Caves Jean Bourdy is one of the oldest domaines in the Jura. Created in the late 1400’s, the Domaine is now run by brothers Jean-Phillipe and Jean-François, the 15th generation of winemakers at this estate. The Bourdys grow their vines on 10 hectares of land, including a half hectare in Chateau Chalon AOC. Caves Jean Bourdy makes wine the old fashioned way, using old barrels—some as much as 80 years old—for fermentation and aging of the wines. The Domaine was certified biodynamic in 2006, and the combination of some of the best terroir in the Jura and careful and patient winemaking results in wines that thoroughly express the land on which it is grown.

Pinot Noir

Characteristic Calvert florals lead the nose with violets and dark rose petals dominating. The warmer 2022 vintage attempts to outplay the vineyard character, but as we have come to learn with this vineyard, Calvertness is rarely, if ever, outclassed. The deep silt soils and naturally moderated vine vigour provides intensity and detailed, elegant tannins. Fine and regal: a classic Calvert.

94+ Points, Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)

This wine hits a massive stride. Forthright tannins accompany powerful fruit and fine acidity to make an impact. There’s pomegranate and cherry, violets, rosehips and capers, with green olive tapenade and even a hint of bone broth. Once again, the acidity in conjunction with the tannins combine to bring on a cool finish...

The nose of the 2020 Falcoeira A Capilla comes through as the ripest of the reds from 2020, despite being bottled at 13.5% alcohol. It has notes of ripe berries, touches of soy sauce and iodine and a juicy and tasty palate, rich with deep flavors, and a long-lasting finish.

This is the most grown up Cornish Point yet. It has all the classic components (vibrantly fruited, voluptuous and rounded mouthfeel...), but with a structural complexity we have rarely seen before. Indulgent but serious tannins demand a thoughtful conversation in this 15th rendition. Baritones and altos all in harmony leading to a crescendo of a finish.

Green tinged and straw coloured with floral, citrus (clementine and lemon) stone fruit, yellow apple and ripe pear on the nose. The palate is medium bodied, charset="utf-8"flinty and packed with fresh acidity, lemon zest and light toast. Balanced, structured and a layered, creamy texture give way to a lingering, spicy finish. 

 

Chardonnay is grown in many regions around the world due to its versatility in style andadaptability to various climates, but its true character can only shine in the right terroir. The Beamsville Bench sub-appellation is one of those, with the soils a mix of gravel, sand, silt, and clay layered in dolomitic limestone, the result of continuous erosion of the Niagara Escarpment and years of glacial activity. In the cool climate of the Bench, Chardonnay`s potential for greatness shows, resulting in elegant wines with fresh natural acidity and

PINOT NOIR

This plot, nestled 270 meters on the hill of Corton, faces the rising sun. The 70-year-old vines take root in poor calcareous soil, with light and very draining soil. This climate and its demanding terroir pushes the plant to its limits and encourages it to give the best of itself: a wine that offers a real presence, a beautiful intensity while retaining its finesse and elegance. When young, Rognet-et-Corton exudes notes of spicy fruit, blackcurrant and kirsch. As it ages, it develops aromas of undergrowth, truffles and leather. It is what one expects from the excellence of a red Grand Cru from Burgundy: the incarnation of the seductive Pinot Noir. This great charmer likes to be desired and is best enjoyed between 4 and 15 years.

Pinot Noir

The vivacious fruit and spices are present as always, but are perhaps lighter in tone and more exotic. The palate has a savoury tone, which sits surprisingly well with the usual Cornish Point indulgences: luxurious fruit and exotic woods like Sandalwood, even Lebanon Cedar. The tannins are beautifully balanced and integrated, ever present, but never interfering; just contributing to the overall stature.

95 Points, The Real Review

Savoury and dried herbs evident on the aroma with floral, violet, dark cherry and berry, grape stems and spicy oak. Made using 25% whole clusters in the fermentation, which might explain a firm tannic structure that makes the wine slightly closed at this stage but suggests a promising future.
