Perelada Finca Malaveïna – Empordà, Spain
A distinguished red from the Empordà region of Catalonia, Perelada Finca Malaveïna comes from a 19-hectare vineyard in Garriguella, planted on distinctive red clay slopes with gravelly stones. The blend brings together Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Garnacha, creating a wine with depth and plenty of personality.
Its long maturation in French oak contributes layers of spice and toast alongside aromas of dark fruit. On the palate, it is round, fleshy, structured, and supported by fresh acidity and polished tannins. The result is a full-bodied Spanish red with a lingering finish and excellent aging potential.
Perfect for: Grilled meats, lamb, roasted dishes, aged cheeses, and hearty Spanish-inspired meals.
Bohórquez Ribera del Duero Crianza – Spain
From one of Spain’s most recognized red-wine regions, Bohórquez Crianza showcases the character of Ribera del Duero with an expressive and fruit-forward style. The wine is associated with vineyards around Pesquera del Duero and the Valderramiro area, where limestone-rich soils contribute to the elegant, mineral character of Bohórquez wines.
Cardela brings together Tempranillo with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, creating a layered profile of ripe red and dark fruit, subtle spice, herbs, and oak-derived nuances. Its Crianza style adds structure and depth while maintaining an approachable fruit character. A great choice for those who enjoy Spanish reds that balance richness with freshness.
Perfect for: Roast beef, grilled pork, lamb, tapas, charcuterie, and Manchego-style cheeses.
Castillo Perelada Gran Claustro – Empordà, Spain
A wine with a fascinating history, Gran Claustro was inspired by a special cava selected by Perelada for a banquet during U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s visit to Spain in 1959. Today, Gran Claustro remains associated with the historic cellars of the Perelada estate.
The Gran Claustro style combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with extended bottle aging that allows the wine to develop greater complexity. Expect a delicate appearance, fine and persistent bubbles, aromas of toasted fruit and mineral notes, and a creamy, mature palate with a balanced finish.
It is a sparkling wine that moves comfortably from celebrations to the dining table.
Perfect for: Oysters, seafood, fried appetizers, poultry, creamy dishes, and celebratory toasts.
Sileni Grand Reserve Straits Sauvignon Blanc – Marlborough, New Zealand
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is famous for its vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity, and Sileni Grand Reserve Straits Sauvignon Blanc offers a more structured expression of Marlborough’s signature style.
The wine is sourced from different soil types across Marlborough, with gravelly soils contributing tropical character, clay loams bringing citrus notes, and deeper silty soils enhancing aromatic intensity. Selected parcels are harvested at full ripeness, then cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and fruit purity.
In the glass, expect expressive gooseberry, passionfruit, citrus, tropical fruit, and fresh herbal notes, followed by a rich yet crisp palate and a long, refreshing finish.
Perfect for: Oysters, prawns, grilled fish, salads, goat cheese, sushi, and light poultry dishes.
Marcel Martin Pouilly-Fumé AOC La Rochetais – Loire Valley, France
From the Loire Valley, Marcel Martin Pouilly-Fumé La Rochetais is a classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it showcases the grape’s characteristic freshness alongside the mineral qualities associated with Pouilly-Fumé.
Look for a bright and aromatic profile with citrus, floral and herbaceous notes, complemented by crisp acidity and a distinctive mineral character. It is an elegant alternative for Sauvignon Blanc lovers who enjoy a more refined and terroir-driven style.
Perfect for: Fresh seafood, shellfish, goat cheese, poultry, salads, and delicate vegetable dishes.
Champagne Mailly Grand Cru Brut Réserve – Champagne, France
For moments that call for something special, Champagne Mailly Grand Cru Brut Réserve brings the prestige of Grand Cru Champagne to the table. Produced from grapes sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru village of Mailly-Champagne, the cuvée traditionally features a Pinot Noir-dominant blend complemented by Chardonnay.
The Pinot Noir gives the Champagne structure and depth, while Chardonnay contributes finesse and freshness. Its profile combines vibrant fruit and citrus characteristics with delicate toast, pastry, and mineral nuances developed through bottle aging.
Elegant enough for celebrations yet versatile enough for a meal, this is a bottle designed to make an occasion feel a little more memorable.

Messias 10 Year Old Tawny Port – Douro, Portugal
Slow down and savor something different with Messias 10 Year Old Tawny Port, an aged fortified wine from Portugal’s Douro Valley. A blend of traditional Portuguese varieties including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, this Tawny develops its character through oxidative aging in wood.
Its beautiful amber-orange color hints at what awaits in the glass: aromas of dried fruit and raisins followed by a sweet, full-bodied palate balanced by refreshing acidity. The combination of richness, sweetness, and acidity gives it a long and persistent finish.
Serve it slightly chilled for an elegant after-dinner experience.
Perfect for: Blue cheese, aged cheeses, dried fruits, nuts, crème brûlée, chocolate desserts, and leisurely after-dinner sipping.
Martínez Lacuesta Tempranillo Blanco – Rioja, Spain
White Rioja takes an unexpected turn with Martínez Lacuesta Tempranillo Blanco, a wine made entirely from the white mutation of Spain’s famous Tempranillo grape. The variety first appeared in Rioja in 1988, giving producers a unique grape with which to create expressive white wines.
The grapes come from vineyards around Haro in Rioja Alta, where nutrient-poor, stony soils contribute to the wine’s varietal character. Fermentation and aging on the lees help build texture and complexity while retaining freshness.
Expect aromas of ripe white fruit, apple, pear, citrus, lemon peel, and stone fruit, followed by a creamy yet fresh palate and balanced finish. It is an intriguing bottle for anyone looking to explore a different side of Rioja.
Perfect for: Seafood, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, tapas, and soft cheeses.
Pétalos – Bierzo, Spain
From Bierzo in northwestern Spain, Pétalos showcases the expressive character of Mencía, a grape closely associated with the region. Produced under the Álvaro Palacios name, the wine is known for combining vibrant fruit with a distinctly mineral expression.
Its style offers a refreshing contrast to heavier Spanish reds. Expect lively dark and red fruit, subtle spice, floral touches, and a mineral edge, supported by a supple structure and elegant finish.
Pétalos is particularly appealing for wine drinkers who enjoy reds with character and depth without feeling overly heavy.
Perfect for: Charcuterie, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, smoked foods, rice dishes, fish, and semi-aged cheeses.
Château Haut-Terrasson Bordeaux White – Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux is perhaps best known for its reds, but Château Haut-Terrasson Bordeaux White offers a softer and sweeter side of the region. This Bordeaux Blanc Moelleux is predominantly made from Sémillon, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc, and comes from clay-limestone slopes and gravelly soils in the Entre-deux-Mers area.
The wine retains a touch of natural residual sweetness, balanced by freshness. Aromas of white flowers, peach, and apricot lead into a light, harmonious palate that makes the wine especially approachable.
Its combination of gentle sweetness and freshness makes it a versatile choice—not only for dessert, but also for aperitifs and dishes with a touch of spice.
