Welschriesling, Moravia, Czech Republic

A plushy, mineral white for lovers of sea glass collections & conch salad. GW’s newest import, welcome Martin Vajcner! Situated near the otherworldly Thaytal National Park, their eight certified organic vineyards spread across 5.2 hectares of the Znojmo wine region. Martin spends most of his time outside, his wines living proof that the cliché, “everything is done in the vineyard” will forever ring true. We fell in love with this project visiting the region last year and are beyond thrilled to bring it to you for the first time. The 30 year old citric and elegant welschriesling, a specialty in the area, is grown on subsoils of paleozoic quartz as well as granite and gneiss that bring out a melting austerity. Fermented and matured in Moravian amphorae and French oak barrels, this white is textured and alive as Pinocchio! Candy necklace damp with saliva, chalky mineral base-tone that sits with you, broken shells, lemon sucker, leesy but not baked, lightly twiggy, Sichuan-y tingles & licking a diamond ring. Enjoy while relaxing to an 11 hour youtube video titled “Soothing Waves of the Sea”.

Rotburger & Pinot Noir, Moravia, Czech Republic

Maybe it was plucked straight from a wondrous cave holding the world’s most precious treasures, maybe it’s pinot! GW’s newest import, meet Martin Vajcner! Situated near the otherworldly Thaytal National Park, their eight certified organic vineyards spread across 5.2 hectares of the ancient Znojmo wine region. We were lucky to visit last year and fell head over heels with these boundary pushing, absolutely DELICIOUS wines and are thrilled to bring them to Ontario for the very first time. FUN FACT! Martin’s incredibly long winemaking lineage dates back to the earlwy 1600’s when his kin were known as the “Weinschnitts”, or “vine-cutters” in English! The lightly spiced rotburger and tender pinot noir are macerated for 12 months in locally sourced terracotta qvevri before maturing in French oak, giving us grandma’s tablecloth tannins, ironed out by clay and time. Fuchsia toned, rich n’ inky, warm and dusty spices, liquorice root syrup, cranberry puree, winter savoury, twigs & hot asphalt steam. Enjoy while pregaming your next black tie event, this baby deserves an O-ccasion.
