Made in the Alsatian style (read: dry), this powerful Riesling features white peach, bergamot, lime, grapefruit, white flowers and minerals. Really lovely juice which can either be drunk or aged for 8 to 10 years.
One of BC’s most enduring wines (and at one time the Okanagan’s biggest selling white) yields varietally precise character, with upfront notes of rose petal, spice, tropical and stone fruit before a lush palate wrapped in gentle acidity and ginger hints.
This inaugural release delivers aromas of orchard fruit, citrus and tropical notes leading to a juicy, fruit forward entry, quite full-bodied, off-dry lemon lime palate with a hint of honey with a lengthy citrus edged finish.
Medium ruby with a bouquet of raspberry, rhubarb, cassis, cinnamon and vanilla. The palate chimes in with the same, alongside black pepper and cocoa. Very good length with a juicy edge.
Deep ruby colour; cedary, blackcurrant and plum bouquet with spicy oak notes; medium-bodied, dry, firmly structured, juicy, black fruit flavours with fresh acidity and ripe, mellow tannins. A gorgeous wine. (Full disclosure: this wine was voted Best Red Wine in show at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London. Our panel gave it a unanimous gold medal when we judged it blind in May.
From a stellar vintage, a worthy commemorative wine to mark the 50th anniversary of vinifera planted on this site, among the Okanagan’s very first, by pioneering Joe Busnardo. A blend of mainly Cabernet Franc (54%) and Merlot (32%) with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec aged 3 years in French and American oak. Vibrant red and black fruit up front, vanilla, fennel and spice notes before a structured, full-bodied palate with plush fruit entry, mulberry, raspberry and black cherry with herbal hints, firm but well integrated tannins and juicy, lingering acidity.
This blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in 100% French oak (25% new) for 20 months and is bottled un-fined and unfiltered. Such richness and depth on the nose, with layers of plums, cherries, cassis, black currants and spice. This is a well-structured red on the palate with fine-grained tannins and a rich broth of primarily darker fruits and elegant wood spice notes.
