Back and Forth

Posted on October 29, 2022 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

Excellent fruit character here and BC’s signature white varietal, the Pinot Gris wines offer great food matching ability. Particularly in BC where our menu is all over the place, such as quiche dishes, butter chicken or poached salmon.

100% Pinot Gris from several of our estate vineyards in Summerland. Our Pinot Gris gets very dark in colour during the ripening phase of our growing season, so to retain the crispness & have minimal colour, we press the juice off the skins right away & cold settle everything in tank for a few days before initiating fermentation. Usually showing notes of pear & grapefruit, we keep the fermentation temperatures relatively low to bring out interesting fruity esters & retain acidity. This is a well rounded representation of the most planted varietal in the Okanagan.

Tasting Notes: On the nose you will find aromas of pear, red apple and cantaloupe. In this beautifully balanced medium bodied wine you will find enjoyable flavours of lemongrass, pear and grapefruit with a balanced acidity. 

Food Pairing: A wine that can be enjoyed without food, but some great pairing suggestions are; roasted chicken with a garden salad, cream based pasta dishes or some fresh steamed mussels.

Taking dinner hints from the review

This classic Pinot Grigio shows flavours of citrus, white peach and a hint of pear. A clean, refreshing finish. It’s the perfect wine to enjoy as an aperitif or paired with seafood, summer salads or shrimp risotto.  So we did. Scallops with couscous topped with poached pear

Refreshing and straightforward Pinot Grigio – notes of fresh lemon, lemon pith, and some saline minerality. Light bodied, refreshing on the palate with crisp citrus notes and a clean finish. Enjoy with any fresh fish or seafood.

Raising the bar

Posted on October 22, 2022 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

Some wines just deliver year in and year out and this Rasteau is one of them. A nice savoury, spicy palate. Dark red, slightly jammy red fruit.


A blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%) and Mourvede (10%) brings out the earthy terroir tones. 

 It’s full bodied and concentrated. It’s fresh and fruity yet earthy, complex and elegant too.
Egg noodle pasta, with mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, onion rings and shrimp worked so well with this.
