Pinot Noir Shiraz

Australia’s sun-scorched vineyards, heat isn’t a season – it’s a force of nature. It doesn’t relent, and neither does Ember. Long summers forge Pinot Noir and Shiraz into something bold, concentrated, and alive with intensity. Dark fruit, warm spice, a finish that holds like a coal long after the flame has passed. This is a wine that doesn’t just warm the glass, it stays with you.

REGION: Australia| ALCOHOL: 13.8%

Release Date: November 2026

Tasting Notes:
Ripe plum and strawberry on the nose, layered with warm spice and a whisper of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy fruit, soft tannins, and a long, deeply satisfying finish.

Oak: Medium| Body: Medium| Sweetness: Dry

Food Pairings:
Pinot Noir Shiraz is built for bold, comforting flavours. Try it with spiced lamb meatballs in a rich tomato sauce or a simple board of aged cheddar and fig preserves.

 

Cabernet Franc

In Niagara’s lake-cooled vineyards, cool air and shifting temperatures preserve what warmth would soften. The Great Lakes hold the cold long into spring and carry it through the vines all summer. Cabernet Franc finds its finest expression here, delicate in structure, precise in character, and shaped by airflow into something aromatic, fresh, and beautifully defined. Aria doesn’t demand your attention. It earns every note, quietly and elegantly, with every sip.

REGION: Canada| ALCOHOL: 13.5%

Release Date: January 2027

Tasting Notes:
Bright raspberry and black cherry on the nose with a delicate hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied and precise on the palate, with fresh acidity, gentle tannins, and a finish as cool and clear as the air that shaped it.

Oak: Medium| Body: Medium| Sweetness: Dry

Food Pairings:
Cabernet Franc finds its match in fresh, herb-forward cooking. Serve alongside herb-crusted pork chops with lemon-dressed green beans or a light pasta with olive oil and fresh herbs.

Pinot Grigio Sauvignon Blanc

Italy’s alpine valleys are carved by water – cool, precise, and shaped with quiet intention. That same force lives in every glass of Acqua. Pinot Grigio brings clean fruit and subtle texture; Sauvignon Blanc adds the lift and brightness of open air. Together they move like a stream in full flow: fluid, fresh, and alive in the glass. The kind of wine that doesn’t just refresh, it restores.

REGION: Italy| ALCOHOL: 12.8%

Release Date: February 2027

 Tasting Notes:
Aromas of crisp green apple, fresh melon, and zesty citrus with a delicate mineral thread. Bright and clean on the palate with lively acidity and a smooth, flowing finish.

 Oak: Unoaked| Body: Light| Sweetness: Dry

 Food Pairings:
Pinot Grigio Sauvignon Blanc thrives alongside fresh, simple flavours. Serve with fresh caprese salad skewers or creamy goat cheese crostini with a drizzle of honey.

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

France’s soils run deep, layered, complex, and rich with the quiet history of centuries of great winemaking. Cabernet Sauvignon draws structure and precision from that foundation; Merlot adds roundness and balance, softening without diminishing. Terre is a wine drawn from the earth itself, restrained where others are bold, precise where others are expressive, and grounded in a depth of place that only France can offer.

 REGION: France| ALCOHOL: 13.4%

 Release Date: March 2027

 Tasting Notes:
Dark plum and ripe cherry on the nose, with a warm undercurrent of mocha and subtle oak. Medium-bodied and well-structured on the palate, with smooth tannins and a finish that settles deep and stays.

 Oak: Medium| Body: Medium| Sweetness: Dry

 Food Pairings:
Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot belongs at the heart of an unhurried meal. Serve alongside a classic French onion soup with a good crusty baguette or a slow-braised beef and mushroom ragù.

Tempranillo Bobal

From sunrise to sunset, Spain’s vineyards bask in a warmth that is relentless and abundant. Tempranillo thrives in it, building savoury depth and richness with every long, unhurried day. Bobal tempers that intensity, adding colour, freshness, and lift that keeps the wine balanced and alive. Together they produce Sol — warm, ripe, and radiating the effortless generosity that only a long Spanish summer can produce.

REGION: Spain| ALCOHOL: 14%

Release Date: April 2027

Tasting Notes:
Rich blackberry and ripe prune on the nose, warm with baking spice and a hint of toasted oak. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate, with balanced tannins and a finish that glows long after the last sip.

Oak: Medium| Body: Full| Sweetness: Dry

Food Pairings:
Tempranillo Bobal thrives alongside warm, rustic flavours. Try it with a hearty chickpea and chorizo stew or slow-roasted chicken thighs with smoked paprika.
