Sharp, bracing acidity, slight smokiness, some bitter stone fruit but the fruit is pretty muted. Lovely depth and complexity. The Okanagan is a gem.

Simple, tropical (website reveals blend includes 9% sauv blanc) maybe the best Canadian wine I've ever had, eh?

Small batch Chenin right from the winery. Aromas of lime and tropical fruit. A hint of florals. The palate is dry and complex with citrus and tropical fruit notes. We paired it with a great halibut dish.

Bright and acidic. Notes of peach and lemon with a distinctly mineral finish.

Sweet notes than a South African Chenin. Not that sour at all.

Something we like.

Crisp and refreshing. Limey and river rock. Quite delicious and substantial actually.

Pleasant mineral notes with a medium high acid body and tastes of chalk and lime. Nice.

Very appley. Is that a word? I’d almost call it Apple juicy. Is that a word?
