Native to the Americas, Blackberries are bursting with intense fruit flavours. Often used to describe Cabernet Sauvignon, blackberry aromas are deep and richly fruity. This, along with lingering tannins and a gorgeous deep purple hue make it an excellent foil for the broad richness of Port. Bright berry notes lift up this wine, making it a superb foil for intense cheeses, roasted nuts and especially chocolate desserts.
Food pairings: Delicious on its own or with any dessert, or serve with toasted nuts or shortbread.

Like many wine regions of the world, Beaujolais in France has always made vin de l’année, a young wine to celebrate the end of harvest season. Fresh and juicy, these wines are a bold purple-pink colour and bursting with an amazing array of fruit aromas, while their low tannin levels make them extremely drinkable when young.

The Okanagan Valley lies in the rain shadow of British Columbia’s Coastal mountains. The region’s very low annual average rainfall means that part of the valley is a true desert! In this climate grapes ripen to perfect intensity, with notes of honey, apricot, and spice. Winexpert’s Okanagan Peach Icewine style has deep floral notes, stone fruit and perfect sweetness, balanced with the sun-ripened perfume of a luscious peach.
Food pairings: Can be enjoyed all on its own, it’s an excellent accompaniment to earthy or salty cheeses like Danish blue or Tilsit, or spicy snacks like tapas or flavourful Asian dishes.

A Red Meritage is a blend of two or more of the red "noble" Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and the rarer St. Macaire, Gros Verdot and Carmenère. If the blend includes any other grape variety, it is, by definition, not a Meritage. Also, to qualify as a Meritage, no single grape variety can make up more than 90% of the blend.

Winexpert’s 3 Continents Meritage combines Petit Verdot from Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon from California and Merlot from Chile to make a unique, globe-spanning vision of the quality a wine of the best varieties can truly possess.

The 3 Continents Meritage will only be available in small quantities for a limited time, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to stock your cellar with this fabulous wine.

Aromas of bright black cherries and blackcurrant with soft notes of licorice, hints of cedar and herbs accented by a touch of mocha and vanilla complement rich flavours of chocolate dipped black fruit and notes of sweet oak. Structured, ripe tannins are followed by a long, fruit-driven finish.

British Columbia is at the forefront of new, New-World Chardonnays, with a crisp, bright style that’s perfectly balanced for food or casual sipping. Pale yellow, with fresh mineral and citrus flavours, notes of pear, white peach, green apple and fine acidity lead to a long, creamy finish with notes of honey.

This wine can be left unoaked, for the cutting edge of the New World style of racy drinkability, or gently oaked to add notes of vanilla, smoke and butterscotch, along with a lengthened structure and sophisticated finish.
