From Salta, to Mendoza and across to Maipo Valley and Casablanca we have been searching the Southern Hemisphere for quality grapes and juices. We are excited to announce a great line up of stars available to you this summer season.
Salta is home to the highest vineyards in the world where Torrontéshas found its optimal growing conditions. Much like in Chile's Casablanca Valley where you will find great Chardonnays and world class Sauvignon Blanc. Any of these mouth watering whites will have you sipping your summer nights away!
For a nice red to accompany all your summer BBQ moments we're giving a warm welcome to our newest arrival -Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza, Argentina. Of course there is much more to choose from, but we're giving our newest addition to the team front row!
Do you ever wonder what we actually do when we go overseas in the search for grapes? It's definitely not the same as searching for great wines, although we make sure to include a lot of wine tasting in our agenda! To buy great quality fruit our winemakers must envision the potential, visualize the end product and decide from tasting a fruit not yet fully mature if it has what they are looking for. Learn about our Grape Expectations and enjoy some photos from one of our trips to Argentina, share your thoughts, questions and give us a like if you enjoy them!

Life Beyond Malbec
Don't panic! Of course we've got some Malbec in stock for you, who can deny it's our staple and from the demand, yours as well! There is no need for "either - or" when you can make a bit of room in your cellar and get acquainted with other great varietals grown in Argentina.
While we have always offered Cabernet Sauvignon form Chile, this year we've also added one from Mendoza, Argentina. It matures a little later than Malbec, and due to its thicker skin you can produce wines with deep colours, strong flavours and with lots of ageing potential. Why choose between one or the other when we've got prices that will allow you to stock up on both!
In addition to these two giant reds from Argentina, we've replenished our stock of Torrontés for those hot summer days. The great thing about Torrontés is that it is easily paired with international cuisine -Thai, Asian, Indian, you name it! Its floral accents, balanced acidity and abundant bouquet also make it a great wine to enjoy on its own.
Placing your order at VDG is easy and fun! Avoid weekly stops at your liquor store and stock up with one stop - you'll be saving time and money all through the summer! All of these available for $109/20 ltrs. (26 bottles) that's under $4.50 a bottle!!! What are you waiting for? Place your order today!
A Chilean Summer
Home to a lengthy coastline down the western seaboard of South America with the Atacama desert to the North and cool Patagonia to the South, Chile offers a very diverse climate. Its wine growing valleys are mainly found in a small central belt of the country where grapes can find a more moderate climate to grow in.
Ten years ago we imported our first grapes from Chile, and with years of unparalleled quality and consistency we continue our now long-term relationship with the country and its talented grape growers.
We have always been big fans of the infamous long lost Carménère. Once mistaken for Merlot but now carries its name and characteristics with great pride. Some love it for its more rustic qualities and vibrant spicy notes, while others at VDG love it for its unbeatable price of $170/ 20ltrs (26 bottles).
If you're a white wine lover, Casablanca Valley produces some of the best Chilean Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and we've got plenty in stock for you! A crisp Sauvignon Blanc with citrus and tropical notes and a buttery, slightly oaked Chardonnay at a very affordable price of $109/20ltrs - under $4.50/bottle! Both dangerously delicious and easy to drink wines that will have you sipping away on the dock or as you entertain your friends at home. Place your order today!
