From Bergerac in France this is a red-fruit and white floral driven juicy and bright rosé perfect for an aperitif or with light bites.

Refreshing, complex, balanced and pure. After three years in oak the wine is bottled and we get to enjoy a fragrant nose with aromas of mellow fruit and hints of honey and oak. A perfectly balanced cocktail with tonic over ice finished with a squeeze of citrus and your favourite herb.

The Friulano grape, a hallmark of the Friuli region, is known for producing wines with complex aromas and flavors. The Friulano "San Pietro" from I Clivi is no exception. This wine offers a wonderful bouquet of almond, wildflowers, and citrus zest, with an undercurrent of minerality. The palate is fresh and structured, making it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, or even a cheese platter.

Hailing from Rioja Alta this Demeter certified red is a bright and energetic light red that is great as is or chilled for a hot day. Indigenous yeast, natural wine-making and oak-free elevage let the fruit shine.

The independent family-owned company Niepoort has been in business for over 150 years. Its "Dialogo" range offers casual cuvées to be enjoyed with friends during a good meal. The illustration on the label tells various stories on the different editions, reinforcing this pleasant aspect. A blend of Touriga Franca 40%, Touriga Nacional 30%, Tinta Roriz 20% and Tinta Amarela 10%, Diálogo is a pleasant, easy drinking red wine, but with complexity, mineral notes and great depth, found in the classic Douro wines. The wine has an intense hue, concentrated revealing violet tones when swirled. Earl Grey notes combine with black berries, hints of graphite and a subtle minty character which lends the wine complexity and freshness. The palate is wonderfully round and elegant, with pronounced acidity. Pairs well with white meats, pasta and vegetarian dishes.

Gamay is the grape of Beaujolais, but it also grows incredibly well in Niagara, which is at the same latitude as Burgundy in France. The Malivoire Small Lot Gamay was named one of Canada’s top Gamay wines by Wine Align. On the nose, it has scents of fresh cherries, strawberries and a suggestion of white pepper. The palate finds the wine fleshy and a medium weight, with flavours of ripe Niagara cherries and raspberries.

This Viognier hails from Australia's oldest family-owned winery — Yalumba was established in 1849. It shows all the unique characteristics of this exotic variety, without being too rich on the palate. Bright straw in colour with green hues, it has aromas of orange blossom with fresh ginger, hints of honeysuckle and white flowers. Fresh apricot, white tea, dried figs and fennel lead to a creamy mid-palate with a silky, textural finish. Enjoy with French onion soup or scalloped potatoes.

In honour of Chianti Day on September 8, this is a lovely Chianti Classico DOCG — Collazzi I Bastioni combines the elegance and pleasantness of Sangiovese (80%) with the roundness and complexity of small parts of Merlot (18%) and Malvasia Nera (2%).

A few kilometers away from the cellar, at San Casciano in Chianti Classico, the mature Sangivoese vines, along with the smaller sections of Merlot and Malvasia Nera, are combined to create “Bastioni”. The grapes are harvested by hand from 7 hectares registered in the D.O.C.G. list, with stone-rich and well-draining soils. The grapes are fermented in controlled temperature vats, and later refined for 12 months in barriques that give the wine elegance and sapidity.“Bastioni” imposes itself due to a unique personality: bouquet notes of red fruit and cherry, with thick, ripe tannins that give complexity and character to this wine.

Luis Pato (which is Portuguese for ‘duck’) is the best-known producer in the Bairrada region. He’s widely regarded as the modernizer who brought a struggling region back to life, and he’s also a champion of the local red grape, Baga. While it’s true that Baga can produce rather tannic, fruitless wines that are tough and somewhat joyless, Pato has shown that Baga deserves a bit more respect than it’s often given. This wine is produced from Baga (60%) and Touriga Nacional (40%) grape varieties, made to enhance the primary flavours of the blend and the chocolate characteristics of Baga. Black fruit and bitter chocolate, good acidity and lively, fine tannins, with a slightly smoky note due to time in barrels.

One of Argentina's most acclaimed wineries, El Enemigo has rocketed to superstardom in just a few short vintages. El Enemigo is a joint venture of two big names in Argentine wine — Catena's winemaker Alejandro Vigil and Dr. Catena's younger daughter, Adrianna. These two were drawn together by a passion for creating more approachable and mineral-driven wines that are expressive of the nuances of Mendoza’s special terroirs. This Chardonnay is unique in that it was aged for nine months in 500-liter barrels, partially in flor — flor is a thin layer of yeast that forms on the surface of wines after alcoholic fermentation, and protects the wine from oxidation during aging. It’s most commonly found in sherry production! The aromas deliver cedar, hazelnut, hints of white fruit, a touch of yeast and a whiff of sherry. Dry in the mouth, with a terse, velvety texture that nonetheless remains compact. The backdrop is full of cedar and flor flavors with hints of salinity and a prolix aftertaste.

The Kamptal region of Austria lies just outside Vienna. Follow the River Kamp to Langenlois and you will soon find the family run Hiedler Winery with the 5th generation in the process of taking over the reins. This rosé is made from Austria’s indigenous Zweigelt grape, but also has an unusual hint of the northern-most Sangiovese grown in Europe. The Hiedler family always loved Italian wines and planted Sangiovese grapes along the way! This makes the wine unique in Austria, not only in terms of taste. Light-hearted, like the first hopeful days of spring, this rosé is refreshing, juicy and full of red fruits, berry, and apple aromatics. Enjoy on its own, or with a spicy Cubano sandwich. This wine is also available as part of this month's Case Club!

Cheer up from all the rain with this solid red wine blend from Sandhill Wines in Canada's Okanagan! A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera, it has a deep garnet colour with a lovely bouquet of dark plum and black cherry fruit. These aromas mingle with notes of leather, baking spices, earth, mushroom, and smoky oak, plus a warm savoury note. This medium to full-bodied wine has silky tannins, great texture and food-friendly acidity. Blue plum and cherry fruit notes unfold on the palate, complemented by notes of sweet spice and earth. Dark cherry, blackberry, coffee, chocolate and Chai spice notes linger beautifully on the finish. Serve with grilled red meats or rosemary lamb chops!

This is a unique rosé from Austria, organically and biodynamically farmed. A blend of 50% Rösler, 40% Syrah & 10% St. Laurent — the Rösler was fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in barrels, the Syrah spent time in barrels and the St. Laurent was made with a unique solera system (different vintages put together year after year). The blend is aged on lees with full malolactic fermentation, unfiltered and no added sulphur. This is a fresh and summery rosé with aromas of sour cherries, flint, pomegranate & sage. A great intro to natural wine!

Indigenous World Winery is Canada’s only 100% Indigenous-owned winery, blending traditional Syilx culture with modern style. This vintage of Hee-Hee-Tel-Kin is a combination of Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay. On the nose is a bouquet of fresh cut flowers and fuji apples, followed by ripe orchard fruit on the palate. Pair it with whatever makes your mouth water, stomach rumble, or just drink it on its own, we won’t tell anyone.

The word Saomì comes from “sagome”, the place name of this territory that fragmented into small parcels and lapped by the Teva stream. The Teva stream, whose source is in the Cartizze area, transports the gravel deposits downstream, which brings a unique quality to the soil where the Glera grapes for this wine grow. This Brut Prosecco has 8 g/l residual sugar with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it’s fruity with notes of rennet apple and Mediterranean spices, vanilla and acacia. It is a well-balanced, fresh wine with fruity aromas enhanced by a good liveliness. Ideal at the start of a meal, or paired with fresh pasta and vegetable dishes. You can also enjoy this wine as part of July's case club!
