Dear Wine Lovers,
The Holiday Wine-Care Pack is here! Six bottles of wine, perfect to help you host parties, or the perfect gift for the wine lover in your family. We’ve included free shipping cause it’s the holidays! And kept the price the same as last year too!
This year it includes a beautiful and complex Riesling, a most celebrated and highly-rated toasty sparkling wine, three rich wintery reds, and an extra special bottle that pairs perfectly with the Holiday spirit.
Cipes Ariel 2000
Awarded 95 points by wine legend Stephen Spurrier, this traditional method sparkling wine shows fresh and vibrant primary fruit among the rich, mature, aged character. Creamy lemon custard, warm brioche, candied orange, lemon zest, ripe apple, dried apricot, walnut, and ginger on the palate. This complexity, creaminess and opulent mouthfeel can only come with extended sur lie bottle aging.
2022 Estate Grown Biodynamic Riesling
Our estate-grown Riesling delivers exceptional purity of fruit year after year. The 2022 vintage is just off-dry with vibrant notes of fresh pear, apple, ginger and sweet citrus blossom. Zippy acidity and stony minerality balance the natural sweetness, leading to a long, clean finish. Perfectly matched with a classic honey roasted ham.
2021 Organic Merlot
Fresh and stylish! Dominant notes of red plum, raspberry, licorice and sage with a hint of mocha for a lightly smoky touch that pairs great with a grilled main course. Or just wonderful for sipping on its own!
2020 Organic Cabernet Franc
100% Cabernet Franc from our Esther Vineyard fermented in oak foudres and aged for 18 months in new and neutral oak barrels. Velvety, smooth, fresh and characterful with notes of blackberry, raspberry and just a hint of minerality. Mouthfeel is pillowy and soft, while bright acidity and firm tannins lead to a fresh finish. It will pair great with holiday herbs like sage, rosemary, and thyme.
2021 Heritage Series Organic Marechal Foch
A rich, deep red wine with a cult following, from the Buchler family’s organic Park Hill Vineyard in Oliver, BC. The wine has a ripe, fruity nose with hints of leather, leading into black cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and leather on the palate. Perfect next to a cozy fireplace.
Chalice NV
As a gift to you this holiday season we’ve included a bottle of the “Best Dessert Wine; Other Sweets” double gold winner at the All Canadian Wine Championship! This delicious wine is a blend of late harvest Merlot and Pinot Noir, aged in barrels outdoors over the course of 6 years. The wine concentrated and oxidized to create a strong, sweet, tawny tipple with nutty flavors, not unlike certain wines of Port and Madeira. This is a holiday classic served at room temperature, paired with desserts like Pecan Pie or a cheese platter.
Happy Holidays!
