Dry Red Wine

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.
