Fantastic Riesling by Lake Breeze vineyards. Notes of apple, apricot and petroleum, nicely dry and paired well with a hard aged Gouda. — 20 days ago

9.2

A nice minerality, lemon and its zest, a hint of green apple, a perfect amount of oak and touch of butteriness but definitely restrained as one would expect in an old world Chardonnay. Lovely. — 6 months ago

From Jessica: The colour is lemony but not a lot of colour saturation. oOn the nose caramelized pineapple and apple pear, river rock breezy minerality. On the palate a pomelo brightness, good acidity with citrus and honey. — 8 months ago

Big and juicy with rich, brambly black fruit pushing up from the bottom, but the meaty, smoky tones are little intense. Paired with beef short rib and roasted veg. — 5 months ago

70% Semillon and 30% Chardonnay, the Semillon creates a rich and herbaceous palate, with hints of toffee and caramel. The Chardonnay provides notes of Okanagan peach and some lime, creating a very interesting and complex white wine. Loved it with our pan seared red snapper on a bed of leek and lemon risotto. — 6 months ago

Light caramel colour, nose offers fresh hints of almond nougat and a touch of oak. Palate is tart green apple with a hint of brioche. A great wine and paired well with a leek and shrimp linguine with lemon butter sauce. — 5 months ago

Shiraz from the Padthaway region, it is intriguingly packaged and as the name possibly infers, the wine is from a minimalistic approach. Wild yeasts and no additions, this is preservative free, unfined and unfiltered. A vibrant purple colour, a very young palate which has a hint of effervescence, some chocolate, bramble and hints of cassis. Fine tannin structure with a typically supple mouthfeel as so often found in Syrah wines. — 6 months ago

Really notable brilliant salmon colour with a breezy flint forward approach that jumps into quince and white nectarine nose. The palate is full of melon and lime zest. Quite yummy! — 7 months ago
