happy canada day!
Enjoy the red, white and rosé with whatever you are doing for the birthday party. These Okanagan wines are happy to partner with anthem singing, flag waving, general merriment and delish bites off the grill.
2014 Culmina R&D Red Blend is a tasty barbecue-ready blend of Cab Franc, Merlot and Cab Sauv — juicy acidity, clove and cedar, vanilla, ripe red cherries and plum, yum!
2015 Tinhorn Pinot Gris has tons of pretty fruit, lemony citrus, nectarine and pear in the aromas and flavours along with a spicy finish. It has both the characteristic weighty richness of ripe Okanagan PG and is completely refreshing — rare to get both in the same package, a sign of good fruit and subtle winemaking. Definitely moreish.
Bella Gamay Noir Rosé Attention all bubbleheads! Not only is Bella a delightful glug, it’s made in such a wonderful lo-fi way — bottle-fermented, hand-riddled, hand-disgorged — here’s to non-intervention.
