Sparkling for the holidays:  what could be better? Cozy up to the fire, and pop one of three special bottles: 2021 Bubbles, 2020 Patriarch Brut, and 2020 Blanc de Noirs.

Made from 100% Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc. Lemon, lime, pear, and concentrated red apples on the nose follow through to the palate along with ripe mango and melon. Moderate acidity lifts the juicy fruit for a relaxed, easily enjoyed, and versatile bubble for every occasion. Enjoy with salty snacks (think popcorn during movie night), grilled prawns, smoked salmon, or casual charcuterie.

We raise a glass of Patriarch Brut to family! Patriarch is dedicated to the familial tradition in the making and enjoyment of wine. Our first traditional method sparkler, Patriarch Brut is made from 100% Chardonnay made at C.C. Jentsch, the winery of Danielle’s father. In honour of her late father, Chris, the wine finished ageing at Lakeside Cellars prior to bottling. Expect a round, bready mouthfeel backed by lean acidity and crisp, bright fruit. Enjoy with your family, near and far.

In 2021, the winning blend (literally, Gold Medal winner at 2022 All Canadian Wine Championships) was 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 16% Pinot Gris, 31% un-oaked Chardonnay:  the perfect zippy, refreshing wine for the beach!

Red apple, nectarines, and heaps of orange blossoms welcome the nose with hints of pink grapefruit and apricot. A bowlful of stonefruit on the palate with pineapple, pear, and lemon pulp:  Light, versatile, refreshing in the long days of summer.

In 2018 we blended 43% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Franc, and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage underwent malolactic fermentation and cellar-aged in neutral French and American oak for twenty-four months before blending and bottling.

Plump cherries, smoked bacon and a hint of pepper on the nose lead through to a blueberry-vanilla palate with soft tannin structure and lively acidity. Cinnamon, clove, and graphite on the finish. Pair this wine with the ragout or hearty stew of your choice! Flourless chocolate cake, or a cheesy dessert are all great matches.

Floral, earthy and spicy notes lead the nose which follow through to vivacious fruit on the palate:  dark cherries and dirty raspberries. Look for hints of graphite and cinnamon, with dark chocolate and a long, finish. A smooth, round mouthfeel and elegant tannin structure make this a worthy match for roasted duck or beets.

Our Cabernet Franc is planted on the Golden Mile Bench at our Desert Valley Vineyard site. Planted in 2011, the fruit coming from this west Oliver vineyard is consistently concentrated and complex. For this reason, our Cabernet Franc is a single-vineyard wine.  Primary fermentation was steady and clean. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation prior to racking and was aged in neutral French and American oak for 24 months.

Bell pepper on the nose, violets, herbs, and earthy ‘funk’:  classic Cabernet Franc. A rich and concentrated palate of dark chocolate, blackberry, raspberry, and black cherries, subtle spice and dried herbs. Soft tannin and mouth-watering acidity make this an easy wine to pair, but just as pleasing on its own. 

2017 was a stunning vintage in the south Okanagan. A moderate, dry autumn allowed for slow, balanced ripening. From new French and American oak, we blended 37% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from our family vineyards.

A dark, enticing nose of blackberries, black cherries, cedary earth and vanilla bean consistent with a juicy, jammy palate with a hint of earthy funk, smoky bacon, and toasted coffee. Fine tannin structure and mouthwatering acidity make this wine surprisingly dangerous. A worthy addition to the cellar, a worthy wine for your dinner table. Enjoy with peppery steak, portobello mushrooms burgers, crispy potatoes with chorizo, grilled sausages, or aged cheese. Also a tasty accompaniment with dark chocolate dessert.
