Pago Aylés "L" 2017

Our favorite rosé is back. With the video on our Facebook page announcing its return, the inventory is rapidly decreasing. Don't wait.

New wines from Bodegas Bhilar

Aside from the 2016 vintage of Shanela, the oh-so-amazing Albariño (D.O. Rías Baixas), we have a few more gems:

• Lágrimas de Garnacha 2016, only 17 cases left given it's a wine of exceptional quality for less than 20$.

• For the first time in Canada: Thousand Mils (Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia)

• Another premier: Phinca Hapa Blanca 2016. Our website will be updated shortly with the information about this amazing wine made from a prolonged skin contact (yes, an orange wine!).

• Finally, the last 15 cases of Terca 2010. This is the last vintage of the Viura/Malvasia sourced from the La Revilla plot. Planted in 1924, the vines produce minutes amounts of concentrated grapes. The 2011 was kept in old barrels for 6 years and is now bottled under the "La Revilla" label, at a premium considering the huge additional costs to make this new wine. Special order only, in cases of 6 at 130$/bottle.
