2010 Vivace Pinot Grigio
$25.00
A very expressive nose that takes on stone fruits with layers of honey, fig and fruit cocktail. The soft and oily palate opens into bright citrus, apple and tropical fruit notes onto a long asian pear finish.
John Schreiner:
"...this is a Pinot Grigio that nails the Italian style precisely. The wine is light and fruity with aromas and flavours of citrus and fresh pears. The hint of residual sweetness, balanced by good acidity, adds to the charm."
2010 Leggiero UnOaked Chardonnay
$25.00 The best Italian Chardonnay hails from the cool climate region of Alto Adige. Almost always made in an un-oaked fashion, it is a wine that expresses the pure minerality of Chardonnay with beautiful acidity and soft fruit flavours. The 2010 Leggiero offers up a balance of apple, lemon rind, melon and natural minerality. The palate is crisp with a great burst of citrus and apricot on the mid-palate that plays into a long finish.
90 Points John Schreiner "...begins with appealing aromas of flowers, apples and bananas. On the palate, the citrus and apple flavours have a clean, crisp, and laser-sharp focus. The finish lingers." 2010 LaStellina Rosato$25.00 LaStellina is an offdry Rosato with personality and elegance. A soft pink hue and bright aromas of rhubarb and strawberry compote greet your senses. Soft notes of maraschino cherry and pomegranate play into a rich and round palate with mouth coating appeal. The palate welcomes a range of red berry flavours with cinnamon spice and anise on the finish. This style of rosato will compliment any hot summer day on the patio. Limit 6 bottles per order - $20.00 (500ml) Inspired by the famous Moscato d'Asti of Piedmont in Italy, our version expresses an intense and complex array of aromatics complimenting this grape's true varietal expression. The light effervesce adds to the texture of this wine while showcasing the tangy lemon lime flavours and beautiful ripe peach and papaya. The flavours carry into stone fruit and hard candy flavours on the finish. With under 10% Alc./Vol. this is a perfect aperitif, dessert or brunch wine.
90 Points John Schreiner "...a blend of three Muscat varieties. Light in alcohol at 9% and finished with slight effervescence, this wine begins with attractive floral aromas and has spicy fruit flavours, with a refreshing tang on the finish." 2008 LaStella LaSophiaLimitted Availability
A rare release as Cabernet Sauvignon does not make a monumental wine every vintage. A great nose of cassis and cigar box intermixed with pain grille and a melange of red and black currants. On the palate there is a great weight, firm and present tannins with a balanced level of acidity. We are very excited to follow the development of this wine!
92 Points David Lawrason
"...tiny production of only two barrels, but noteworthy for its quality and archtypical cabernet character... It has a very lifted, powerhouse nose. It's chock full of wonderful blackcurrant, leather, and nutty notes. The palate is full, rich and sleek with great tension and length..."
