With a label like this and a name like “Mr. Chile”, this was a no brainer for July wine club. This blend of Pais (75%), Cinsault (17%) and Carignan (8%) is a perfect summer red. The southern region of Itata Valley boasts high altitude, coastal vineyard sites where the fruit is refreshing and balanced. Notes of spiced red plum, raspberry, cherry cola and floral blackberries. Vibrant and zingy! Chill this red down and enjoy with your summer BBQ.
The wines of Eastern Europe continue to delight us with their high quality, yet affordable selections. Just to keep things interesting, we’ve replaced the white category with this delicious rosé for July. “Pomalo” has no literal translation in the Croatian language, but loosely means “relax, have fun, slow down, no worries”. Embody this feeling with this 100% Frankovka (aka Blaufrankisch) rosé whose ripe mixed red berry notes and subtle floral accents will have you relaxed and smiling in no time. Pair with a strawberry walnut salad with goat cheese.
In line with the chillable red theme for the warm months, this Mediterranean number undergoes a light maceration to give a dark rosé meets light red style. A fun complement to our Chilean selection, this wine is also made with the grape varietals Cinsault and Carignan complete with beautiful red crunchy fruit, candied beets and a little spice. This is a fun side project of winemakers Nicolas and Karine who since 2000 have been committed to organic and biodynamic farming practices in order to provide extraordinary expressions of their unique terroir.
