Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Juicy and luscious, this 100% estate grown Rosé was made predominantly with Pinot Noir grapes. Savour this refreshing summer wine with enticing raspberry and pomegranate notes on the patio this summer, or pair with grilled salmon or pulled pork.
Made from 100% Lillooet estate grown fruit, this wine is comprised of 70% Pinot Noir grapes, 16% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were destemmed and crushed to allow for skin contact of up to 12 hours. After the perfect colour was achieved, the grapes were lightly pressed, followed by a long and cold fermentation. The result is an elegant Rosé with a fruit-forward palate, a creamy texture, and a crisp finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair this luscious Rosé with pulled pork, shrimp, lobster rolls, or a beautifully cooked salmon. It also pairs perfectly with a good book on the patio on a sunny day.

This was the perfect summer rosé! It goes great on its own, or with food!
