Metrovino

Metrovino Independent wine shop offering friendly, approachable, and unpretentious service. Let our professional staff guide you in your search.

The way we look at it is we can offer more than simply an extensive array of hand-picked wine selections. Sure, we're more than able to make these wines part of your life by helping you select them for your next meal or occasion, but we can animate them by giving you their story. Indeed, it is many stories; place, people, grapes, history and so much more all play some part in your future enjoyment

of a wine. When a wine is fully alive in our minds, the flavours that cross our palate seem to be just that much more vivid. Our wine selection includes many hard-to-find small producers and intriguing, obscure wine regions. Stop by our Calgary wine store, taste one of our featured wines, share your opinions and we'll bring the wines to life and into your life

Craig is pleased that the Sainy Verny range is back in stock!

We have the much-loved 'Les Volcans' label in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We also have the '809', an intriguing example of Chardonnay Musqué, an aromatic mutation of the grape we know and love. 💛

Al sure does love having his photo taken...

Salvajes de Gredos is a new project from friends Marc Isart and Miguel Santiago. The pair are elaborating wines from Sierra de Gredos, a mountainous region west of Madrid featuring high altitude vineyards along the Alberche river valley. Far from the Mediterranean ocean, these vineyards are often difficult to access — broken into tiny parcels that preclude much mechanical vineyard work, everything here is done either by hand or by horse. Many of these old-vine parcels were forgotten prior to a winemaking revolution that started in the early 2000s. Did you notice the vines growing amongst boulders in the last image?

Marc himself was present for the start of the recovery of these vineyards, having been involved with high-profile wineries in the region as well as making wines in other parts of Spain prior to starting this project with Miguel in 2023. A talented winemaker with a focus on biodynamically-farmed, terroir-driven wines, we are so glad to welcome his newest wines to our shelves at Metrovino!

We also carry Marc's 'La MaldiciĂłn', a tasty little Tinto Fino (AKA Tempranillo) from .

Thank you to Sarah for snapping the vineyard photos earlier this year, and for teaching the Metro team about this awesome project.

Nobody lacks self-discipline like us at Metrovino. We make valiant attempts at restraint, but you’d never know it given the fact that we import 80+ disparate German Riesling labels each vintage. Despite its amorphous parameters, every year we encounter phenomenal wines in our travels that don’t fit neatly into our bloated “portfolio”. When a brief encounter with such a wine makes clear that a future without it would be impoverished, empty and meaningless, we import said wine for reasons of emotion — regardless of its lack of glass-pour potential at restaurants or inherent appeal to trophy hunters. (Yes, these wines often dwell in that strange financial purgatory that's beyond most restaurants’ BTG budgets, yet affordable enough to be regarded with suspicion by the many who assume that exceptional quality only correlates with lavish spending).

Consider this a plight to celebrate beauty in the world, and to encourage more of it. The last thing that we want to do, dear reader, is to dismiss a significant winegrowing achievement with apathy, in turn denying you a singular drinking experience. So without further ado, here’s our third offer in the “Leave No Beautiful Riesling Behind” series.

2023 Wagner-Stempel Riesling 'Porphyr'
$40 (reg. $49)

Wagner-Stempel's liquid postcard from Siefersheim is named "Porphyr" after the volcanic soil. The vast majority of their Riesling vines are planted in two historically-celebrated Grand Cru vineyards, namely Heerkretz and Höllberg, and the Porphyr bottling is a declassification from these sites.

It's abundantly complex, the aromas functioning like an angelic chorus of disparate but intricately-connected notes that unfold in beguiling unison. In fact, this exudes what I've come to know as the very definition of Porphyr — a combination of purity, breathtaking definition and scintillating depths of aroma and flavour that have everything to do with intricacy but very little to do with delicacy. It’s simultaneously elegant and intense.

Read the entire article and order Porphyr in the link in bio.
