Varietal Wines
With some of the best fruit in the south Okanagan, we let the grapes express themselves. The philosophy behind our varietal tier has always been 'best of grape'. A 100% pure expression of each varietal from our Estate vineyards which provide the grapes to craft wines that reflect both place and time.
SILVER - 2020 Chardonnay du Monde competition
Our 2020 Pinot Gris is one of our most luscious and vibrant to date, bursting with fresh lively aromas of citrus mixed with tropical fruit. The grapes once harvested, were
de-stemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation with native and cultured yeasts in a cool environment releases and preserves the fresh fruit flavours. This wine is dry and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood or light meat dishes. Perfect for spring meals and grilled veggies this summer.
Our 2019 Merlot vintage is fresh and elegant with a vibrant natural acidity along with ripe flavours and texture from our Diamond Back Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench. Fermented using natural yeasts in a controlled environment preserves the fruit flavours. The wine is put into a variety of French, Hungarian and American Oak barrels where it aged for 12 months prior to bottling.
Our 2020 Gewürztraminer was harvested from our Diamond Back Vineyard (Black Sage Bench) & Hidden Terrace Vineyards in Oliver, BC. The grapes were harvested on a cool morning to preserve the quality and freshness of the fruit. Fermentation is temperature controlled to maintain the delicate aromas and flavours. This wine has lovely aromas of lychee fruit, orange blossom, tropical fruit and a hint of spice. Made in a dry style, this vintage of gewürztraminer is refreshing with more lychee fruit, citrus, tropical fruit and candied ginger on the palate. Serve chilled this summer on the patio or pair with any Asian-inspired dishes.
The golden hue of our Chardonnay shows the barrel fermentation components and gentle ageing of this wine. The nose is full of spice, clove and nutmeg before fresh nectarine and lemon zest giving it a delicate lift. The palate is rich but still very bright and refreshing with golden apple crispness, yellow grapefruit, before finishing with a buttery macadamia nut cookie, or almond biscotti note.
SILVER - 2020 Chardonnay du Monde competition
This vintage of Merlot has a great depth of colour with purple and violet hues. The nose gives notes of blueberry jam, dried fig and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and textured, saturated with coffee and dark fruit before the tannins show up to end the party. A big tannin profile carries this structured wine for ages on the finish. The grapes upon harvest were carefully sorted and fermented and both closed and open top fermenters allowing them to ferment naturally. The slower fermentation allowed for the gentle extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. A mix of French, American and Hungarian oak barrels were used for malolactic fermentation and ageing. Maturation ranged from 12 - 14 months before bottling.
Our Cabernet Franc from the Black Sage Bench arrives at the winery nice and cold from early morning picks. Fermentation are long and slow to ensure the gentle extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. The wine is aged in a mix of French, American and Hungarian oak barrels for 14 - 16 months before bottling. The colour shows a youthful purple hue with good depth. The nose a dusty cocoa powder note with black cherry, strawberry and rhubarb pie and crust. Lots of red currant and rhubarb on the palate, and fine tannins and bright acidity give the tactile profile of a good Chianti, but with new world freshness of red fruits.
