Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan "La Vie" Rosé NEW
Germany

Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

A selection of vineyards and three red varieties are chosen for this aromatic and vibrant rosé. The grapes are chilled immediately after harvest to avoid oxidation and ripeness. This wine initially drinks very fruit-forward before mellowing to an almost savory finish. A robust rosé for the colder months and a beautiful dark pink hue for Valentine's Day.


Vaiven Blanc de Noir 
Spain

100% Tempranillo
This is a memorable new take on Tempranillo, the nobel grape of Spain. What started as a whim in a spare tank and has turned into one of our most popular wines.

Bright yellow color with pearly iridescence at first sight. Red berry and passion fruit notes. Medium bodied and balanced, with a refreshing acidity.
This is a great wine for people who usually drink reds and want to get into whites, and its fuller body is nice this time of year. Biodynamic agriculture.


Les Garrigues Côtes du Rhône
France

60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault

Named after the beautifully aromatic underbrush and scrub found all over the South of France, Les Garrigues is a delicious Cotes-du-Rhone bottled exclusively for Skurnik Wines. It is produced by a single, small domaine in the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation, and bottled according to our preferences. A blend of predominantly Grenache, Les Garrigues is always balanced, with juicy ripe fruit—never over-ripe, over-done, or overly alcoholic (a trait that sometimes mars wines entry level wines from this appellation). This is an honestly made, textured Côtes du Rhône that is wallet friendly. Fermented and aged in 50% cement, 50% stainless steel



JoMa Halligalli NEW
Austria

100% Zweigelt
Natural wine with little intervention--unfined and unfiltered, so appropriate for vegans. Fruit-forward and supple, this is an unusual, but very approachable example of the variety. 


Ixsir Altitudes Red NEW
Lebanon

35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Caladoc, 22% Syrah, 17% Tempranillo 

The name IXSIR derives from “Iksir”, the original Arabic word for “Elixir”, a word common to many languages, defining the purest form of all substances, a secret potion that grants eternal youth and love. The vision behind IXSIR is to reveal the best terroirs of Lebanon, some forgotten long since. Cultivated with respect to sustainable agriculture, IXSIR’s vineyards are spread in the mountains of Lebanon on clay-calcareous and limestone soil, from Batroun to Jezzine, benefiting from the unique microclimates Lebanon has to offer.
IXSIR’s vineyards culminate at an altitude of 1,800m, making them one of the highest in the Northern Hemisphere.

Fresh aroma of black and red fruits with a touch of oak. Smooth, delicate character that blends overtones of blackcurrant and blackberry. 
Open/decant 1 hour before serving.

​Saveurs du Temps Cabernet Cabernet Sauvignon
ItalyFrance

100% Cabernet Sauvignon
   Close to the Mediterranean sea and the Roman city of Nîmes, the vines are situated on a very healthy terroir thanks to dry, warm weather and a soil covered with rolled pebbles.  The 2,700 hectares of sustainably-farmed vineyard extend in a complete circle around the city of Nimes, the unique vineyards supply a diversity of exposures and microclimates. All of the principal Mediterranean grapes are grown and vinified in their state-of-the-art cellars, along with international favorites like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.  The Saveurs du Temps range is a selection of their best parcels to get fresh, fruity and smooth wines whilst keeping a strong identity.

Bold red cherries and red licorice on the nose. Flavors of black pepper and chocolate with subtle notes of baking spice and grippy tannins.
**Open 30 minutes before enjoying**
