White peach and pineapple lead with a light jasmine perfume. Juicy citrus brings energy to the palate, while vibrant natural acidity keeps the blend bright and precise. The texture remains clean and easy-moving, with tropical fruit, orchard fruit and delicate florals carrying into a refreshing, well-balanced finish that invites another glass.

Seven white grape varieties form this blend: Gewürztraminer, Kerner, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and Schönburger. Each was fermented separately in stainless steel before blending. Peach, pineapple and tropical flowers appear alongside melon, apple and green apple. Bright acidity, a crisp persistent finish and Anjou pear are also present. The wine is light-bodied and comes from the Okanagan Valley.

Spicy fruit aromas lead to pear and fresh apple, followed by a very long finish. The blend comprises Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Schönburger and Ortega. The winery stands on Pender Island beside a seven-acre estate vineyard. Its island grape sources also include Clam Bay Farms, while further fruit comes from growers in the Cowichan Valley. The vineyards are dry-farmed, and organic herbicide is used only when required.
