An intriguing, floral and aromatic BC white wine blend. Zesty, refreshing and medium-bodied with just enough acidity for a feast of seafood, shellfish or spinach quiche.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

So flavourful! A lovely aromatic blend including Muscat and Gewurztraminer, aromas include lilac, honeysuckle, and peach. Luscious on the palate, but with some bright acidity for balance. Enjoy with seafood or mildly spiced curries, or, as the winemaker suggests, a hot dog on the beach. Art on the label by the winemakers' daughter.
At once, it’s fat and rich but also blessed with laser-like acidity. You don’t see a wine with this much lusciousness that is also refreshing to drink. Lots of fruit flavours and underpinned by a beguiling sense of minerality. Like the label, this wine is as unique as anything you will ever find.
