Counterpoint Pinot Grigio – Australia
This Southern Australia wine is made with 100% wild yeast fermentation which adds layers of flavour and richness to this Pinot Grigio. Medium bodied showcasing flavours of red apples, poached pears with hints of cinnamon and spice.
Pair this wine with light pasta dishes and risottos.
Cono Sur Bicicleta Rosé – Chile
Made from Pinot Noir grapes, a perfect deck and patio sipper. A dry Rosé from Chile, that has a rounded palate with aromas and flavours of cherry, strawberry, citrus, flowers and herbs.
Pair this wine with salmon, vegetarian risotto dishes and charcuterie.
Decero Malbec – Argentina
Displays intense violet aromas over a core of red fruits with notes of cherries and raspberries. A medium-bodied, very well-balanced wine with fresh acidity.
This wine pairs well with steak, lamb and cheddar cheese.
Carpineto Dogajolo – Italy
A young Super-Tuscan wine from Tuscany, it is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. A medium to full bodied wine with integrated tannins that is balanced superbly with red berries and black-fruit notes along with coffee and spice notes that provide a long finish on the palate.
Pair this wine with pizza, red meat pasta sauces and osso bucco pot roasts.
Uko Select Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon – Argentina
Nothing sells in Alberta like Cabernet Sauvignon. We like our full-bodied, rich and flavourful wines here, and the Uko Cabernet Sauvignon falls right into line. Loaded with blackberry, cassis, black cherry, vanilla, and sweet baking spice, this is a great glass, whether just by itself or with a hearty dish.
Pair this wine with BBQ’d ribs, grilled steak and root vegetables or hard cheese.
Senorio de la Antigua Mencia – Spain
Earthy with dark-fruity aromas on the nose, this medium-bodied red is vibrant with dark plum, blackberry, blueberry flavours finishing spicy and so fresh on the palate.
Pair this wine with roast pork, chacuterie and sharp cheese.
