This BC sparkling wine is a blend of Pinotage, Gewurztraminer and Ehrenfelser grapes grown by the fifth generation of this family-owned winery overlooking the Okanagan Lake. Aromas of sweet red berries and red licorice in this off-dry bubbly. Serve as a chilled aperitif or companion to glazed ham.

The View Winery boasts spectacular views of Kelowna and Okanagan Lake. Sandy loam soils combined with long hot summer days and cool evening breezes from the lake are perfect conditions for The View’s signature fresh, fruity, aromatic wines. Originally built by Great Granddad Ward in 1922, the building in which we craft and cellar our wines was once the original Ward’s Apple Packinghouse and is the last from its era in the Okanagan. For five generations our family has supported a commitment to tradition, authenticity and excellence. Our alluring wines point to the future and celebrate the past.

33% Gewurztraminer 26% Ehrenfelser 21% Riesling 10% Pinotage

This light effervescent wine has aromas of strawberries, cranberry and pomegranate. On the palate, summer’s red berry fruit fills your mouth, followed by lingering crisp citrus. Drier and more sophisticated than our previous vintage.
