Apples and peaches up front. Balanced and a crisp acidity throughout.
Who cares which season, you’ll enjoy this any time of the year in any weather.
By itself as an aperitif, or with fish, or just a salad. Just simply enjoy it for what it is. Good wine at
a good price .. and it’s BC.
Beware … it might all disappear in one sitting!

We have been ravished with their Rose, and now we’r enchanted with the White blend.
This wine has aromatic notes of pear, apple, and hints of elderflower. It’s a little sweet on the nose, with a crisp finish.
The blend is 59% Pinot Blanc, 27% Pinot Gris and 14% Riesling. No bubbles, so ’she’ didn’t catch on to the 3rd member of the blend.
This is one to revisit in the summer – on the deck .. in the heat … Bring out the appy platter.
Maybe next year the Goddess will include the Red Blend in a mystery case.

The 2018 harvest began earlier than anticipated due to above average growing degree days in the spring. Summer arrived with cooler temperatures, encouraging the fruit to develop beautiful acidity and allowing more time for full flavour retention. One of the coolest Septembers on record followed, slowing down the process.
The 2018 Reserve Pinot Blanc was farmed from two of vineyards in Osoyoos and Oliver. First planted in 1997, the Osoyoos Vineyard is located on a steep, west facing hillside. Our vineyard on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver is diverse with more than 60 different individual blocks affording us an amazing array of premium quality fruit. The combination of the soil and wonderful sun exposure in these small blocks provide ideal conditions for growing Pinot Blanc.

This Cattin is bright pale gold, with a hint of slightly lemony green apples. A fresh palette which comes with more rounded flavours of fresh red apple with that lovely, yeasty backdrop.

Graham Beck Brut Rose from the Western Cape is made from the traditional Méthode Cap Classique base wines of Pinot Noir (66%) and Chardonnay (34%).
Its unique silver-pink hue is obtained by an enzymatic reaction during the transport of the Pinot Noir fruit to the cellar. The fine, lively mousse is brisk on the palate, showing hints of oyster shell, fresh lavender and subtle hints of berry and cherry.
