Cabernet Franc, Loire Valley, France
Winemakers Eméline Calvez and Sébastien Bobinet hit a home run yet again with their precise and expressive Loire cab franc. A parcel-based wine, coming from their oldest (70 year old!) organically tended vines, grown on the typical clay-limestone soils of the region. This wine only exists in very good vintages, otherwise the grapes are blended with those of ‘Amatéüs Bobi’. ‘Echalier' grapes are 100% destemmed, see a 35 day maceration & are only bottled after 2 years of ageing to make sure the wine has time for some R&R gaining complexity and integration. Dense, velvety undergrowth, drying hay bale + stables, pits of capsicum, sandy wet Earth, wild raspberry acidity, purple pencil crayon & voluminous cherry clouds. Try with Salt Spring Island goat cheese & fresh herbs.

We don't know if you've heard this, but Canada is a truly WILD place to import wine. Each province is it's own country with super strict rules. For ages, so much of the very best natural wine never made it into the province. That is changing in such an exciting way. We started our own import company to bring you some of our very favourite wines from around the world at the sharpest prices - this allows us to travel, fall in love with a wine, and bring right to your doorstep without a middle person. Put simply, as the importer, we shave one layer off the supply chain. We offer these sweet wholesale discounts when you bundle. From 1, 3 to 6 packs you'll find serious savings. The GWI sticker - Grape Witch Imports - means not only that we strongly stand behind the producer, it also means you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. It also allows us to source many wines just for the shop - you'll find Ontario exclusives marked GWIE - Grape Witch Import Exclusive.
