Culmina 2019 Decora Riesling
Daisies, dried apricot and toasted almond open with a subtle yeasty note. The palate is bright and energetic, with creamy texture rounding starfruit and fuzzy peach.

Therianthropy 2020 Claire de Lune Riesling
Crystalline lemon and ripe citrus lead a powerful, textured white, with wax, fine spice and honey adding depth.

Wild fermentation and unfiltered, unfined handling preserve energy through a long, mineral finish.
Mission Hill 2019 Quatrain Okanagan Valley
Crunchy blackberry and violet open with leather, black pepper and integrated smoke.

Aasha Wines 2021 The Red One Chardonnay
Mango and ripe tropical fruit lead, joined by hazelnut cream, rose oil and a gentle vanilla note. Glossy and generous on the palate, it carries a honeyed richness without losing definition.
