The Winter Winescapes curated collection perfectly captures the flavors and emotions of this wonderful season. Each wine in this selection has been carefully chosen to evoke the essence of winter, providing a perfect complement to the hearty meals and cold-weather activities often enjoyed during this time of year.
Consider our Egri Bikaver from Hungary, also known as the "Bull's Blood of Eger." This legendary Hungarian red wine symbolizes strength and courage, originating from the story of Hungarian defenders during the Siege of Eger in 1552. With its powerful character and full-bodied nature, it pairs excellently with a bowl of goulash, a traditional Hungarian meat stew that's perfect for warming up in colder weather.
Alternatively, after a long day on the slopes, why not switch up your "aprés-ski" routine and unwind with our Vranec? This wine, with its robust flavor profile and structured composition, is a favorite for fireside relaxation, soothing your tired muscles one sip at a time. Whether you're embracing the chill or seeking warmth and comfort, the bottles in this collection deliver satisfaction and solace with every sip.

Vinalia x Marof, Belo
Slovenia, 2018
This is a white wine for all seasons. Refreshing and zingy enough to cool you down in the warmer months, this Laški Rizling also demonstrates enough ripeness and richness to satisfy when then temperatures drop.

Vinalia x Merayo, Godello
Spain, 2022
Tactile and savory, this Godello from the prestigious Bierzo region demonstrates the tremendous complexity of the best Spanish white wines.

Vinalia x Stobi, Vranec
North Macedonia, 2016
A powerful, ageworthy red, this Vranec lives up to its name’s translation of “black stallion.” Hearty, rich, with a lingering pillar of tannic strength, the wine tastes of grilled plums, blackberry liqueur, and soft baking spices. A hearty wine that is just at home curled up by the fireplace as it is next to the grill.

Vinalia x Domaine Poiron-Dabin, Les Clefs du Secret
France, 2020
A quintessential summertime wine, this is the rare red that with a little bit of a chill can help cool you off in the warmer months. Fresh raspberry and red currant flavors mix with violet and earthier tones. And while the smallest part of the blend, the Cabernet Franc packs a punch with its signature white pepper notes.
-
Vinalia x Bodegas Verum, Cencibel Roble
Spain, 2020
Tasting of red cherries and macerated strawberries, this Cencibel also shows a classic Spanish savoriness—sagebrush, dry earth, olive pit. The aging in tinajas contributes a stony minerality and freshness to this youthful expression of Spain’s most famous grape.
-
Vinalia x Tóth Ferenc, Egri Bikavér Selection
Hungary, 2018
Robust and virile, this Bikavér lives up to its translation, “bull’s blood.” Aged nearly two years in oak barrels, this structured red blend seduces with its brambly notes of cranberry, blackberry, and roasted plum. Woody, earthy tones of dried tobacco, autumn leaves, and graphite provide the wine with a distinctive heartiness to warm the soul in the year’s colder months.

MAROF
Among the most celebrated wineries in Eastern Slovenia, Marof is also perhaps the most ambitious in the Prekmurje region and its Goričko subzone. The winery is a collaboration between founder Stanko Polanič, who dreamed of demonstrating the tremendous potential of this long overlooked region, and Uroš Valcl, who grew up in his mother’s vineyard and joined Marof in 2009 for its third vintage. Valcl and Polanič steward their land with a gentle hand, seeking minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar, where they focus on both native Slovenian and international grape varieties.

TÓTH FERENC
Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2023, Tóth Ferenc Winery is a testament to the unwavering passion and dedication of its founders, Tóth Ferenc (affectionately known as Uncle Feri) and his wife. Their journey from ordinary jobs to esteemed winegrowers began in the early 80s, culminating in the establishment of the Áfrika Vineyard. Feri stood at the forefront in the 2000s, advocating for the cultivation of rare grape varieties like Kadarka and Leányka in the Eger region. The next generation, represented by Ferenc’s daughter Katalin and son-in-law Zoltán, joined hands in 2005, helping to extend the winery’s cave system, modernize the tasting room, and increase vineyard holdings in Eger’s prime sites.

DOMAINE POIRON-DABIN
With nearly two centuries of winegrowing under their belt, the Poiron-Dabin family’s roots in the Loire Valley run deep. The family’s history as vignerons is documented as early as 1858, though it remains likely that their experience in the area extends back further. The modern winery traces its origins to the marriage of Jean Poiron to Thérèse Dabin in 1962. Jean and Thérèse each retired around the turn of the millennium, passing the baton to their two sons, who continue to steward the estate today.
