Beautiful aromatic wafts of lime leaf, lemon citrus, ginger and underlying tropical fruits. Balanced mouth feel, light in body, and mouth watering acitiy that readies you for the next sip. Versitile with Island seafood or on its own. Ortega is a cross of Muller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe and has found a solid home on Pender Island.

Fruit forward with integrated wood notes of cinnamon and smoke. Balanced and elegant, best served with a slight chill. BCLDB: 539213

Youthful in the glass and palate despite it being 10 years old. Complex with a smooth texture. Touch of leafy earth, black olive, every ripe and juicy black fruit imaginable with a text book shiraz peppery spice.

A pinot noir from Willamette Valley at this price was really too good to be true. Off balanced and woody. Needs to be refrigerated to be palatable.

Chardonnay grapes from a high altitude, cool climate, made in a Chablis style. Notes of golden apple, peach and pear. Tremendous wine for the price!
