The estate-grown Chasselas was their first vinifera varietal wine, and this light, refreshing, off-dry patio sipper has grown to 17,500 cases. Brightly aromatic and mouthwatering, punctuated by white flowers, pink grapefruit, honeysuckle and the crunch of a freshly-picked McIntosh apple. Drink up!
Ruby colour. Small red and black fruits, kirsch. Quite concentrated and tight but ripe fruity taste. Good grip from the tannins, not too much oak, overall well balanced. Made each year from selected lots from the co-op members, this is a reliable name at a good price.
Pale yellow. Clean nose of white peach, pear and apricot with a subtle mineral touch. Nicely balanced, its fruity taste has medium weight on the tongue. Drink now. Chicken vol-au-vent would be a great match.
A white blend of Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay and Kerner with gorgeous aromatics of lush tropical fruits, peach and pineapple. There is a touch of sweetness on the palate to go with ripe, rich layers of tropical fruits that are zesty and vibrant through the finish.
A Traditional Method fizz combining 70% Chardonnay with 30% Pinot Noir showing mellow citrus and subtle berry scents with rich lemon citrus flavour leading on the palate. Red berry and vanilla flavours emerge on mid-palate with a lick of caramel on the finish.
Pale yellow. Fresh nose of citrus with a mineral hint. Sweetish attack from the oak, even if the wine is technically dry. Full-flavoured with a smooth texture. The lengthy finish has a nice acid lift.
From some of the Okanagan’s oldest vinifera plantings, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot yields aromas of dark berry fruits and leather, followed by a broad, medium-bodied palate, with good weight and focused fruit (ripe but not extracted), with vibrant dark berry and spicy notes, supple tannins and a lengthy, gently peppery finish.
