Discover wine’s possibilities

"Nothing ever seems impossible in spring, you know." —L.M. Montgomery

Nature plays by no rules but her own, and in spring she abandons all thoughts of reason or decorum, for the world is new again and we are alive, alive, alive. This month, our selections reflect the chaotic jubilation of the season, embracing eclecticism and offering some perennial favourites alongside new and exciting cuveés. The fleeting nature of spring's first blossoms reminds us to enjoy life at the pace it is gifted. Wine belongs on the table with good company and we invite you, too, to abandon all sense and rules to celebrate every moment, small or large, with a bottle fit for every occasion. Hedonism, we decree, is en vogue this spring.
