Making its debut in Ontario for the very first time, is this rare, single-vineyard red from Martha Stoumen, a leader of California’s natural winemaking movement. Farmed from the meticulously kept Ricetti Vineyard in Mendocino County with vines dating back to 1948, this old vine Carignan gets a brand new lease on life as a decorated member of the Academy with a lifetime achievement award. Brava! A triple threat of Burgundian depth, Italian sizzle and classic, California pedigree, made possible by Martha’s deft work in the cellar, highlighting this wine’s effortlessly modern proposition of bright, spicy fruit and delicately floral tannins. Made only every couple of years in limited quantities so save it for those worth inviting back. Whole cluster fermented in tank, aged for 24 month in neutral French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. Brambly red fruit, cherry pit, black forest cake, cinnamon heart, dried rose bouquet, five spice, silk lining, loving the smell of gasoline & loving yourself all over again. Pair with cigarettes in bed and Ambrose Slade’s If This World Were Mine.

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
