La Crescent, Vermont, USA
A flagship reserve orange, full of woodsy bitters and mineral might. The warmest of welcomes to one of the most rich and intriguing projects in all of North America, La Garagista! Owner and winemaker Deirdre Heekin oversees her thriving kingdom with a particular affinity for hybrid grapes, native to North America, and an uncompromising visionary view on land stewardship. ‘Vinu Jancu’ is an old Sicilian term for a white wine made like a red, also known as ORANGE! Made from the aromatic and fruit forward la crescent (a descendent of muscat de Hambourg) grown on clay and limestone on the cool edge of Lake Champlain. The reserve began in 2018, with the wine being cycled through an amphora (crafted by a ceramicist in Montreal) made from local Champlain Sea clays, the very same clays the vines are rooted in! Iron, peach blossom, bitterly spiced astringency, burnt hazelnut praline, home-made raisins & a log pile. They recommend trying with Ligurian rabbit fricassee with olives and rosemary.

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
