AboutSage Hayward Vineyards
The Hayward family’s ties to Saturna Island began in 1989, when Gord and Bettianne established a family retreat there. In 2020, two brothers and their wives bought the vineyard property and began restoring vines that had lain largely fallow for almost a decade. The site’s first vines had been planted in 1995.
The south-facing vineyard sits in the cool maritime climate of British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands. Organic farming practices and hand harvesting guide work with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay.
Sage Hayward 2023 Estate Rosé
Canadian Rosé
White flowers, pink grapefruit and fresh apple open the profile. Savoury citrus notes and fresh acidity follow, leading to a delicately balanced finish. The rosé is estate-grown Pinot Noir from Saturna Island. Its vineyard follows organic farming practices, and the vines are rooted in dense sand-and-mudstone soil over clay with ancient marine sediment. The wine contains 11.4 percent alcohol.
Sage Hayward Vineyards 2025 Pinot Gris
Canadian White
Pinot Gris comes from sloping fields at a Saturna Island estate in British Columbia's Gulf Islands. The vineyard has a rich clay base infused with ancient marine sediment. Farming is sustainable and holistic, and the winemaking follows traditional techniques. The estate works to produce wines with a distinct sense of place from its Gulf Islands site. Max Legris serves as viticulturist and winemaker.
Sage Hayward 2023 Estate Pinot Noir
Canadian Red
Fruit comes from Falcon Ridge and Raven Hill vineyards on Saturna Island. The site lies in the Southern Gulf Islands, where a cool maritime climate meets dense sand and mudstone over clay with ancient marine sediment. The wine is rich and medium-bodied, with a lingering spicy finish. Pinot Noir is hand-picked from estate vines, and the first plantings on the property date to nineteen ninety-five.
Sage Hayward 2022 Nuance Aromatic Blend
Canadian White
Pome fruit, white flowers and honey shape the nose, leading to pear and bright citrus rind on the palate. A subtle toasted-almond note adds savoury detail without weighing down the wine's fresh, crisp profile. Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Muscat work together in a delicate, fragrant white with clean lines and an easy, refreshing finish.
