Vintages New Release Collection – May 23, 2026

Champagne is my absolute favourite beverage, and Grower Champagnes like this one give you a sense of place that can sometimes be missing from other bottlings. This wine has a gorgeous pale garnet colour, a spicy wildberry nose, a zesty mousse and a savoury mouthfeel. Lovely. - Sean O.

Slate-driven minerality is just the opening salvo for this tasty wine, which then fires off juicy stone fruit and layer after layer of tropical zest. All hand picked fruit, six months’ total lees ageing, and a wonderful crisp lemon finish make this wine a quaffable option to say the least. - Ginny

Thoughtful winemaking by an Argentine-Canadian team produces a precisely engineered, visionary reflection of modern Mendoza Malbec. What makes it so modern? Soft, dreamy fruit freshness – and virtually no oak. - Genna
