Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deep rose petal pink. Bursting with aromas of fresh
strawberry and peach with a hint of citrus. A robust palate
of juicy watermelon and red fruit is well-balanced with
bright acidity. Enjoy as the perfect summer sipper or with a
light olive oil based pasta or salad.
Vineyard Notes
The 2022 vintage arrived from a very challenging 2021
winter with an arctic outflow that lasted for almost 2 weeks.
Fortunately, all of our vineyards escaped the extreme cold
unscathed. The rest of the 2022 winter was seasonal with
the occasional dip in temperature past -8°C. Cool early
spring temperatures led to a bud burst that was 10 – 14
days later than average and a slow start to the growing
season. The cool weather and above average rainfall
persisted through the entire spring. By the end of June,
the weather had turned around and the typical dry, hot
summer weather arrived and persisted until mid-August. A
couple of typical Okanagan heatwaves came our way in July.
Mid-August saw two weeks of unruly summer storms during
which our vineyard on Upper Bench Road suffered a 15%
crop loss due to hail damage. September was beautiful with
+30°C temperatures for the first two weeks and clear skies
throughout. For the last two weeks of September and the
entire month of October the weather was beautiful with
+25°C every day making these two months perfect for
ripening grapes.
Winemaker Notes
Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir
bunches were hand picked and sorted in the vineyard. The
extracted juice from the crushed grapes was left on skins for
three hours, then cold settled and fermented at 15 °C to
preserve the bright fruit flavours. The yeast consumed most
of the grape sugars leaving 3.0 g/l and yielding a wonderfully
complex dry fruit forward Rosé. During its fermentation life,
each varietal was kept separate to ensure proper care of
each grapes qualities. The finished wine was then treated
with modern membrane technology to remove the ethanol
but leave the colour and aromas of the wine intact. Enjoy a
glass of this delicious Rosé for only 85 calories.
