Tasting Notes
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc reflects the sun-soaked orchards of the Okanagan Valley. The nose bursts with an array of aromas: zesty grapefruit, white peaches, lemon, lime, and a touch of rain-kissed greenery, accented by intriguing notes of Thai basil and lime leaf. On the palate, it unfolds with a lively medley of herbal brightness and citrus fruits, complemented by flavors of white peaches and white plum, all balanced by a savoury undertone. The finish blossoms into tropical and juicy passionfruit, capturing the essence of a warm summer day in every sip.

Winemaker Notes
The Gill Family Vineyard and Smethurst vineyard represent our most northern and southern vineyards, which grants exceptional character to our wines. We are able to pick them almost 3 weeks apart, enabling us to capture two different snapshots of the growing season. Everything is hand-harvested before being meticulously sorted, destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation is kept cool to preserve natural freshness. The resulting wine is racked into a mixture of 70% neutral oak and 30% stainless steel for its elevage. Each barrel is tasted for complexity and nuance before the wine is blended, cold-stabilized, filtered and bottled.
