Pamplemousse Jus 2024 Fortified
Canadian Fortified
Castel and Marquette grapes form the blend. Fortification uses a grape-based spirit from Maple Leaf Distilling, and the wine ages for one year. Gentle oxidative character accompanies dried cranberries, raisins and subtle spice. Production totalled 570 bottles. This first fortified release comes from a small independent natural winery in Summerland, British Columbia, established by a group of friends.
Twin Island 2024 Purple Crush
Canadian Sparkling
Bright red fruit and dark grape notes lead a softly sparkling, carbonic style with a juicy, gently creamy mouthfeel. Low tannin and modest acidity keep the palate relaxed and immediately drinkable, while a light savoury edge prevents it from feeling simple. Serve well chilled with charcuterie, pizza or grilled vegetables.
