AboutMarichel
Marichel is a small, proprietor-run Naramata Bench estate whose vineyard was planted in 2000. Richard and Elisabeth Roskell built and planted the property together. The winery sits at the head of the vine rows, so the fruit can move from harvest to crush without leaving the farm.
The estate grows Syrah and Viognier on sandy and silty loams, making red, white, rosé and sparkling wines. Vineyard work includes drip irrigation and reduced cultivation, alongside recycling and habitat preservation.
Marichel 2022 Lone Wolf Syrah
Canadian Red
$32.99
Violet, wild sage and cracked white pepper open a savoury, cool-climate profile. The palate brings ripe blackberry and raspberry together with earthy undertones and fine structure, favouring freshness over jammy weight. Pepper and dark fruit carry into a focused finish, while the floral lift keeps the wine expressive and well balanced.
Marichel 2022 Estate Viognier
Canadian White
$32.99
Fresh melon, ripe peach and apricot lead a clear, aromatic nose, with lemon and delicate floral notes adding lift. The palate sits just below medium-bodied, combining silky texture with clean, well-judged acidity. Melon and citrus carry through a long, balanced finish, while a light mineral edge keeps the generous fruit precise.
Marichel 2020 Syrah Rosé
Canadian Rosé
$28.99
Released in the following spring, this Syrah rosé comes from Marichel. The estate grows its fruit on the Naramata Bench, where sandy and silty soils naturally limit vine vigour. The vineyard uses drip irrigation, no-till cover crops and a low-emission tractor as part of low-impact farming. The bottling is a still rosé made from Syrah in British Columbia, Canada.
Marichel 2025 Silvertip Sparkling Syrah
Canadian Sparkling
$49.99
Marichel gives its Naramata Bench Syrah a sparkling expression in this distinctive estate bottling. The wine brings the grape’s dark-fruited, savoury character into a brighter, celebratory frame, with bubbles providing lift and energy. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or with charcuterie, smoked salmon or crisp fried dishes.
Marichel 2018 Estate Syrah
Canadian Red
$44.99
Smoky dark fruit and violet lead a concentrated nose, with ripe plum, blackberry and a quiet earthy note adding depth. The palate is full-bodied and composed, bringing leather and savoury spice into balance with refined tannins. Dark berry fruit remains clear through the middle, carrying a polished, well-structured finish.
