Rosé 2009
Tasting Notes:
Nothing says festive dining or al fresco entertaining like a crisp bottle of Rosé. With this vintage, our Pinot Noir was co-fermented with the Chardonnay. We also included two additional reds (Cabernet Franc and Merlot) to the blend to add a little backbone. This one has superb strawberry and spice aromatics. Just enough tannin provides a nice accompaniment with grilled light meats and party food. We enjoy ours with endive stuffed with goat cheese and walnuts.
Vintage Report
A challenging winter reduced the crop, but the remaining fruit excelled during the long, dry growing season. September’s picture perfect weather with 20 days of 20° Celsius temperatures propelled our Chardonnay harvest to produce ripe, wonderfully developed fruit. Select vineyards help build our 2009 Rosé in our traditionally Chardonnay-dominant style. The stellar Fraser Valley growing season this vintage also allowed us to represent our Langley vineyards in the Rosé more than previous seasons. The combined vineyard sources contributed to a complexity of flavour profiles and aromas with excellent balance of sweetness and acidity.

Fresh, fruity and fun. Lots of strawberry, cranberry and spice on the nose. Bright acidity with fresh wild strawberry, spice and even a touch of herbal on the palate. A terrific choice for cheerful holiday parties. Drink now.

This tasty pink is a blend of Chardonnay, Merlot and fragrant Gewurztraminer. It shows pretty aromas of honey, summer berries, peaches and fresh minerality. On the palate it has a nice weight, is just off-dry and a displays backbone of spiced summer fruits and citrus. Balanced, with bright acidity making perfect for sipping, with appetizers, cheese, fish or white meats.
