Pair this wine with Laksa, Massaman curry, Chickpea curry, foie gras or duck liver patte, roast duck and squash/pumpkin soups.
• 2022 Viognier: Our award-winning Viognier from last year is back, having won Double Gold at the All-Canadian Wine Championships. The new 2022 vintage is already impressing us with its delightful flavors and aromas. Get ready to be captivated by this outstanding Okanagan white. Our 2022 Viognier was produced from 100% Naramata Bench fruit. The Viognier was hand-harvested, pressed, cold fermented with skins separately, and finally blended just before bottling.
• 2022 Glow Rosé: The 2022 Glow was produced from 100% Naramata grown Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir comes from two vineyards, along the bench; “This is It” and our Partridge vineyard, which is close to Naramata Village. The fruit from these vineyards were picked a three weeks apart and underwent a 3-4 day cold soak. This is it vineyard was picked and was done fermenting by the time partridge vineyard was picked. The Partridge vineyard Pinot Noir was fermented with indigenous yeast and was blended right after fermentation was complete.
• 2019 Cabernet Franc Malbec: This interesting and delicious wine is a play between the bright elegant floral notes of Cabernet Franc and the brooding, forest floor earthiness and fruit juiciness of Malbec. If you are a wine geek or love the unusual, then this is the wine for you.
• 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah: The fruit for this Australian inspired blend was sourced from the same vineyard in Osoyoos. Picked 12 days apart and fermented and aged separately before blending; the blending of the two results in fruit characters of ripe cherry and, hints of strawberry and eucalyptus. The palate is full of ripe cherry flavors with notes of cassis and plum. The 18 months in 30% new French oak gives the wine structure and balance.
• 2021 Marechal Foch: Dark Fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberry with hints of mocha and spice. The palate is soft with black cherry, olives, hints of vanilla and spice. Pair this wine with bison, short ribs, burgers, red sauced pastas, duck breast.
