I can imagine this being pretty marmite, but I can’t help but love how weird and wonderful it is. Rounded and funky. Definitely some stone fruit in there, but lots going on. Nectarines and honeysuckle. — 6 months ago

2025 vintage.
54 % Riesling, 37 % Gewurztraminer and 9 % Pinot Gris, Ehrenfelser and Oraniansteiner.
After the devastating winter freeze and loss of 2024 crop in Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, this vintage is a return to all British Columbia fruit. Aromatic and off-dry styled after Alsatian Edelzwicker.
Fresh and bright flavours of white peach, crisp, ripe Golden apples, ginger, lychee and lime.
