A Mix of Our Red & White Wines

From one of Austria's longest-standing, and most well-regarded red producers, the Community opens with a nose that's first a touch smoky, but blossoms into a fruit basket of red and black raspberries, cherries, and plums, descending to a palate that reflects the same fruit, bringing those together with rich, pure notes of wet earth.

A great, earthy red to pair with game like duck or lamb, the Community will also play very well against roasted beets or mushrooms.

This Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a classic representation of its terroir, and even smells a bit like the nearby Atlantic. Aromas of zesty citrus, freshly-cut grass, and sea air greet the nose. On the palate, it shines with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of crisp green apple and grapefruit. A quintessential example of Touraine Sauvignon Blanc, refreshing and true to its heritage.

The zestiness of this wine makes it a great partner for seafood - enjoy it beside a tuna or swordfish steak with rosemary, a salmon tartare, or a plate of lemony grilled vegetables.

A great example of a red blend made in a way that makes the wine greater than the sum of its parts, this 50/50 Cinsault and Merlot utilizes the bright, hedonistic fruitiness of Cinsault, and combines it with the body, and length and body of Merlot. Opening with a charming touch of fresh herbs, star anise, ripe strawberry, and a bit of graphite, the palate is full and generous, with the same soft red fruits, and a lengthy, supple finish.

A full-fruited red like this will benefit from some fattier cuts of meat - a pork chop with a red wine and mushroom sauce, chicken thighs in an herby butter, or richer veggies like cabbage, beets, or eggplant.

South Africa's wine landscape is defined by Rhône-inspired red wines, and crisp Chenin Blanc. The Wupperthal opens with attractive notes of yellow flowers, wet stone, and fresh chamomile honey, moving to a textured and tense palate with full citrus fruit, and an electric mineral finish.

An ideal aperitif, the Wupperthal will also do very well beside a variety of fare from a citrusy shrimp ceviche, to a poached cod filet in olive oil, or even something a bit richer like marinated and grilled chicken kabob.

Bertrand and Vincent Marchesseau are two men of ideas - the Utopie is the culmination of years of work to have a more environmentally-friendly wine package. It's a lighter bottle, without a wasteful capsule, and saves ink by cutting into the label itself. Lucky for them, the wine is a Utopia in itself! A softer, more supple example of Cabernet Franc, it opens with notes of purple flowers, and fresh red fruit, while the palate is soft and generous with just a kiss of tannin, and memorable finish.

A lighter Cabernet Franc like the Utopie will be excellent beside light cheeses, roasted vegetables, or even a more substantial seafood preparation like salmon or tuna crudo.

Vincent Caillé of Le Fay d'Homme is a true master of the Melon grape, having worked and lived with it for most of his life. The Hyme de Melon showcases the Burgundian minerality and ripe citrus that only the best Muscadet exhibits, moving to a crisp palate with the same layers of lemon and mineral, with a bright, glassy finish.

The classic pairing with Muscadet is a plate of raw oysters, and the Hymne de Melon will certainly sing beside half-shells, although, the wine is broad enough to stand up to other cooked seafood preparations like grilled lobster with chili butter, or scallops simply seared with butter and fresh herbs.
