País, Itata Valley, Chile
An earthy, smoky and zero-zero, honest-as-they-come, vintage in a bottle. Brand new-to-Ontario producer from Grapes Witch Imports, welcome La Basilona! Beginning in 2021, Basile l’Archimandrite’s delightful project is all about creating delicious, terroir-centric wines from the fruit of only the happiest n’ healthiest vines in Chile’s Itata Valley. ‘Circo Pobre’ is made from 200-year-old (!!!) país grown on poor, sandy granitic soils, which saw three months of skin-contact in neutral steel tank before being pressed for an additional nine months, also in tank, getting ready for opening night. FUN FACT! A light smoke taint is present due to a fire nearby the vineyard, but really feels truly in place in the context of this rough n’ rich red, giving a Pacina 'Toscana Rosso’-esque vibe we’re INTO! FUN FACT! “Circo Pobre” means “poor circus”, and is a reference to having to do everything at the winery oneself, cultivate the vineyard, make the wine, bottle it, sell it, plus the paperwork! Macademia nut butter, rubber tree in a monkey filled jungle, fermenting cacao beans, cinnamon bark, chalk & craggy black rock tannins, like the shores of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. Pour alongside fire-charred veggies, seaweeds, elk or duck.

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. Are you a licensee or producer looking to join our imports roster? Send us an email at hello@grapewitchimports.com
