Mid-weight viognier from the Okanagan. Notes of citrus, stone fruit, and almond, with a medium clementine finish. Perfect for a warm day in the backyard paired with grilled chicken off the bbq.

Clean prominent floral, citrus, melon and peach aromas followed by a scrumptious mouthwatering palate with a lingering peach and apricot flavours. Enjoy this light-bodied viognier with French Onion Soup. Tasted Mar 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

If you love apricots, this one's for you, with tart apricot aromas and flavours punctuated by a touch of lychee. Made from 100% Viognier, estate grown in Okanagan Valley, B.C. Enjoy with a fruit flan or vanilla biscotti.

Lots of tropical fruit in this BC Viognier. Joined by tangerine, and acacia honey. 90 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Dan Carkner reviewed this wine as follows:
A brilliant pale straw colour with golden hue, this BC Viognier leaps from the glass with ripe melon, pineapple and mango. Almond, baked apple and a whiff of smoke hide in the background. On the palate the fruit leans more towards the orchard and everything is drenched in wildflower honey though the wine is dry. A touch of herbaceous cut grass emerges as the wine opens and crushed-stone-like minerality provides backbone. Mouthwatering medium acidity keeps the palate alive through the medium long finish. You can practically taste the Okanagan sun in the glass and something off the grill would be a fine match here. Grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, grilled haloumi, grilled shrimp/ lobster, and so on. A touch of richness/ umami in the food would provide a nice contrast for the tart fruit.

The nose is loaded with ripe exotic fruit (pineapple, tangerine, and mango), complemented by peach, beeswax, orange blossom, ginger, dried herbs, and a touch of white pepper. The palate is a contrast of ripe pineapple, red apple, and candied lemon with spicy ginger and white pepper. Almost full-bodied, with a round, viscous mouthfeel, and medium acidity. The finish is quite long, with ginger, pineapple, peach, and almond notes. Pair with roast pork or ham.
