This wine made by our winemaking team Spencer Mayer and(Winemaker of the Year recipient) Derek Barnett, in the last three vintages, has won Gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships and 90 points at the National Wine Awards of Canada.

Made with Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for a Bordeaux-style cuvée sparkling wine, It is dry with round fruit making it way too easy to drink. We decided to call it “Bubble” because that is what we naturally call a sparkling wine when referring to it with familiar affection.

Estate Grown and the only two acres of Malbec in Prince Edward County, people thought we were crazy to plant it. After all the Malbec from South America, many had forgotten Malbec was originally a cool climate varietal which gained fame amongst oenophiles when grown in the Cahors region of France. It is only natural these vines have proven to be a delicious cool-climate expression of this old-world grape varietal.

Quintus is the final stepping stone in our quest to make our “Holy Grail” wine; Sextus. Made in only five previous vintages, Quintus combines the five classic “First Growth” grape varieties to gain fascinating complexity. There are only 5 true Bordeaux First Growth producers, considered to be among the very best in the world. However, the prices on the current releases hover over $1,000.00 a bottle. Our late co-founder, Richard Karlo set out to prove that Ontario’s terroir could create similar magic for an affordable price. So we sought out the best fruit and value. With his remarkable blending skills, our Winemaker, Derek Barnett, has married the classic noble grape varieties, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon into the sixth vintage of Quintus in Karlo’s history, the 2020.

White port is rarely seen outside of Portugal, which is why we decided to make some ourselves. This wine comes from a single vine in our vineyard that went through “spontaneous mutation” from Frontenac Noir to become Frontenac Gris and then mutated again to become Frontenac Blanc. We had our viticulturalist take clippings from one vine and graft them onto root stock so by the next spring we had enough vines to plant the first one acre commercial planting of Frontenac Blanc in Ontario. With Frontenac’s intense taste profile, high brix of sugar and high acid, it lends itself to making a beautiful fortified wine that is fruit-forward, beautifully balanced and leaves the palate clean.

Traditionally a gentleman’s drink, a port-style is classically paired with fresh figs, walnuts and a fine cigar. Our barn was built in 1805, so, if you’re visiting our 93 acre estate, you can smoke your cigars down at our drystone bridge. We love it with dark chocolate so also pair it with hunk along with salted nuts, walnut brownies or German Chocolate Molten Lava cake with raspberry sorbet.

Van Alstine is named after the first to hold a deed on the land, Peter Van Alstine who was an officer in the British Loyalist Military. He resettled his regiment of 250 men and their families and first set up an economy for the area by building the mills at Lake on the Mountain.

This was his summer land.

VanAlstine was a Mariner, and port-style wine is a mariners wine.

Not sure what to get but you know it has to be Karlo? Why not give a gift card? The value can be used towards the purchase of wine, an experience or a Karlo Estates show in our Speakeasy.

This is our favourite corkscrew. It’s the corkscrew our Founder, Richard Karlo wanted for the winery. It was his favourite too.

This special corkscrew is made by Pull Tap, which is considered one of the best corkscrew producers in the world.

These are hand made in Spain.

What makes it different is the handle or “lever” is one solid piece of hand cast antique copper alloy, so it’s built to last – When you pick it up, you can just tell it’s a quality tool and you can feel it’s substantial weight.

On this Pull Tap, the screw itself, also known as an “auger’ or “worm” is bigger, so it more easily grips the cork and doesn’t pull out, and it’s made with titanium, so it will not break. The blade or “foil cutter” is also harder to keep its edge sharp. The “boot-lever” is a “two-step” so you can open a bottle like a pro. It also includes a bottle cap remover.

This is the last corkscrew you will ever need to buy. You can keep it for the rest of your life. There are only 214 of them in the world, which we bought to engrave with our logo. It’s a gift and a collector’s item to pass down from generation to generation.

Features

• Antique Copper alloy cast lever handle

• Larger, titanium auger screw that will not break

• Sharper foil cutter knife

• Handmade in Spain

• Only 214 in existence

Karlo Estates’ SEXTUS has been described as a Unicorn by wine critics. To understand why, please watch our three minute video here to learn what four of Canada’s wine journalists had to say about Karlo’s SEXTUS.

Thanks to the vision of co-founder, The Late Richard Karlo (d: 2014), who planted the only Malbec in Prince Edward County and the only Carménère in Eastern Canada, Karlo Estates was the first winery in approximately 150 years to produce a wine blended from all six of the benchmark red varieties specified in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux since the rediscovery of a grape variety thought to be extinct; Carménère. The 2018 Karlo Estates SEXTUS was the first blend of all these six grape varieties since a root louse called “phyloxera” ravaged the vineyards of Europe between 1858 and 1870. Celebrated Executive Winemaker, Derek Barnett and Winemaker, Spencer Mayer fulfilled Richard Karlo’s dream posthumously with the production of the coveted 2018 vintage SEXTUS.

However, Karlo was not able to produce SEXTUS in the 2019 vintage because of the challenges in producing great vintages of all six varieties, but thankfully, in 2020, Karlo produced the delicious Second Vintage. Both these SEXTUS vintages sold out shortly after release.

Many purchasers of Karlo’s 2018 and 2020 SEXTUS vintages expressed interest in buying futures of SEXTUS lll . To that end, Karlo announced the availability of SEXTUS ill to be released as futures. Because of this, we are now almost sold out even though the wine has just been released as of March 14th, 2026.

Sextus is great value when you consider a 2022 Chateau Haut-Brion first growth 3 Bordeaux blend sold on the LCBO website for $1649.00 per bottle.

Triumvirate, an ancient Roman term referring to three emperors ruling together for balanced government, is a blend of three “Noble” Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This “Meritage” is a “right bank” Bordeaux-style blend as it leads with Merlot. Triumvirate is made in the old-world style with a cork and all the acids and tannins in place to give it the bones to lie down in your cellar easily. This wine will only get smoother and more complex and is perfect for impressing the red wine lover on your list. Originally made in the years we could not make our five Bordeaux blend, Quintus, this wine has quickly become a staple in our portfolio.

The previous vintage was named one of the “3 Most Outstanding Red Wines of the Year” by VineRoutes Magazine. Our winemakers agree that this vintage is even better.

This wine is named after Little Bug, a cat born in our barn. She is half tortoise shell, half calico and is the product of two twins to create one cat called a “chimera”. Like her, this wine is a blend ~ Vidal, Frontenac Blanc and Frontenac Gris, which are hybrid grapes. An aromatic nose of cantaloupe, wilflower and honey, dried peaches, yellow apples and orange blossoms. Tropical notes on the palate with texture and a hint of sweetness for balance with refreshing citrus on the finish. 

Each year Little Bug (the cat) hosts a photo competition. Post a picture of her on social media with #LittleBugPEC and every New Year’s, our team votes for the best picture to win one of our “Rare Finds” wines, worthy of collecting or as a unique treat.

This wine is named after the Queen of our tasting rooms, Little Bug, a Chimera cat who was born in the barn, her favorite place to be. A Chimera is an individual derived from the many parents it was conceived from.

Other than explaining our mascot kitty being nicknamed, “The Hybrid” because of her complex DNA as a Chimera, what is The Little Bug Red? It's county bargain blended by the venerable Derek Barnett and Spencer Mayer to bring out the best of French-American hybrid Lucie Kuhlmann, 2021 Malbec and property-grown 2022 Frontenac Noir varieties. The nose is greeted by rustic wild blackberries, a hint of oak, then on the palate, creamy vanilla, balanced with an appetizingly crisp finish.

As the most photographed cat in the County, each year Little Bug hosts a photo competition. Post a picture of Little Bug on social media with the hashtag “ #LittleBugPEC “ and every New Years Eve, our team votes for the best picture to win one of our “Rare Finds” wines, ranging in price up to $500 a bottle and worth collecting or as a unique treat.
