Garnet Valley Ranch Mixed Three, Okanagan Crush Pad

Description from the Producer

Celebrate the elegance of BC’s wine country with this 3-bottle selection from GVR Wines, a boutique producer crafting expressive, small-lot wines in the Okanagan. This curated trio includes:

• 2016 GVR Traditional Method: Garnet Valley Ranch is our little piece of paradise. To date, the wines that have been grown show textbook physiological ripeness that needs no manipulation or interference. With sparkling wine at the forefront of our minds, Garnet Valley Ranch is primarily planted with chardonnay and pinot noir. 72 months ago, we put our traditional method wine to rest and age. It is a blend of the two varieties, each playing a key role in the aromatics and flavours. Classical fruit-driven aromatics of red berries from pinot noir intertwined with mouth-watering acidity and a sumptuous body from chardonnay alongside the Okanagan’s hallmark savoury edge deliver a very special wine for any occasion.
• 2022 GVR Chardonnay: Estate-grown chardonnay grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in concrete tanks. The wine was aged in a combination of concrete and stainless steel. This bright chardonnay gives off golden straw hues from core to rim. Rich tropical fruits with great lees characters and grapefruit pith dominating the aromatics. Lifted aromas of melon, pineapple, citrus, and stone fruits and a lush minerality give this wine a mouth-watering, lengthy finish. The palate is dense with exquisite balance and a framework of delicate acidity carrying the extremely long finish. An ethereal chardonnay with a subtle density and power in the mid-palate. A perfect pairing to grilled seafood, roasted chicken, and creamy cheeses. This wine will reward with ageing.
• 2022 GVR Pinot Noir: Estate grown Pinot Noir grapes were fermented in small concrete tanks with 75% whole cluster inclusion, gently basket pressed and aged in a combination of French hogsheads and concrete eggs. This Pinot Noir is clear and bright in it’s appearance with a deep garnet red hue. The nose is packed full of lush berries, dusted floral notes with earthy tones on the backend. The palate is layered with flavours of dark red berries, mocha notes and sensual tannins. This Pinot Noir can be enjoyed with a steak salad, BBQ’ed salmon and caramelized veggies.

Together, they offer a versatile tasting experience—from celebratory bubbles to elegant dinner pairings. Free shipping makes this trio a perfect gift or personal indulgence.
