Fraser Valley
Maan Farms Blueberry Dessert 375 mL
Ripe blueberry and blueberry-pie sweetness lead this rich fruit wine, balanced by a fresh tart edge that keeps the finish lively. Made entirely from estate-grown berries, it brings concentrated fruit without needing a grape-based profile. Pour a small glass after dinner, serve alongside cheesecake or ice cream, or use it to add deep berry flavour to a cocktail or sangria.
Chaberton Estate Winery 2013 Reserve Dry Bacchus
Rose petals, green apple and spice appear alongside grapefruit, apple, stone fruit and citrus. The palate is crisply dry, with soft texture and a clean, refreshing character. Bacchus makes up ninety-five percent of the blend and Sémillon the remaining five percent. The fruit comes from the Fraser Valley, and the finished wine carries the BC VQA Fraser Valley designation.
Whispering Horse 2023 Les Galets
Peach, roasted hazelnut and honeysuckle form the aromatics. The palate is crisp and dry, with toast, stone fruit and a long saline finish. The wine is made entirely from L’Acadie grown on a half-acre parcel planted in twenty twelve over an ancient riverbed. It matures for four months in French oak. The estate is family-run in Yarrow, within British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.
Chaberton Estate Winery 2023 Estate Grown Zweigelt
Sweet cherry, vanilla and a hint of spice appear with silky tannins. Cranberry, blackberry and cherry form the fruit profile, and the palate is medium-bodied. The blend is ninety-six percent Zweigelt and four percent Cabernet Franc. Maturation lasts fifteen months, using twenty-five percent new French oak and seventy-five percent neutral barrels that are mostly American. Alcohol is twelve-point-one percent, and the wine is vegan.
Thorn & Burrow 2023 Gamay
Fruit comes from a young, one-and-a-half-acre Langley vineyard with alluvial soils. Half underwent seven days of carbonic fermentation in stainless steel; the other half received ten days of skin maceration. Maturation lasted ten months in neutral oak on primary lees. Flinty reduction and wild tart red fruit accompany sour red fruit, subtle black cherry and a delicate herbal finish. Production totalled one hundred ninety-two cases.
Whispering Horse Winery 2019 Traditional Method L’Acadie Sparkling
Estate-grown L’Acadie Blanc is made as a traditional-method sparkling wine in the Fraser Valley. The fruit is harvested at lower ripeness to retain acidity and lower alcohol. The bottles spend at least eighteen months on their lees before disgorging and corking. This early-ripening white variety comes from sandy-loam vineyards and is well suited to sparkling production in the region.
Seven Directions 2024 Rosé Cuvée
Pear, citrus, apple, lemon drop and steeped tea meet a faint touch of raspberry. The pale cantaloupe-coloured rosé is lively and intense while remaining delicate. Pinot Noir, Gamay, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer are fermented in stainless steel with extensive lees stirring. Vibrant freshness and a slightly off-dry balance lead to creamy mineral character and pronounced salinity.
Township 7 2017 Seven Stars Sirius
Pale straw colour and a fine bead accompany apple, brioche, peach stone, baker’s yeast and honey. The palate is creamy, with yellow apple, lemon and lively acidity. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from a South Langley vineyard form the blend. The wine is made by the traditional method. Toast and lees notes sit alongside pear, tangerine and a lingering citrus finish.
Vista D’Oro 2007 D’Oro Fortified Walnut Wine
Toasted nuts and roasted hazelnut meet caramelized sugar, dried fig and warm baking spice in a deep, velvety after-dinner pour. Dark honey, molasses and subtle vanilla broaden the palate, while vibrant acidity keeps the richness defined. Smooth and warming, it finishes at length with roasted nuts, sweet spice and a poised savoury edge.
Maan Farms Raspberry
Pure red-berry fruit leads a bright, straightforward profile, pairing generous sweetness with a soft natural tartness. The palate is smooth and juicy rather than heavy, keeping the fresh-fruit character clear from the first sip. A gently tangy finish restores balance and leaves a clean echo of ripe summer berries.
Maan Farms 2013 Blackberry Wine
Concentrated black fruit leads a rich, fruit-driven profile, with a soft jammy note and deep berry intensity. The palate is full and gently coating, balancing natural sweetness with enough tartness to keep the fruit lively. A smooth, warming finish carries juicy dark-berry flavour without becoming cloying, making this an expressive after-dinner pour.
Whispering Horse 2023 L’Acadie
Nectarine, mandarin, gooseberry and white blossom lead, with fresh-cut grass adding a savoury edge. Fuller-bodied and juicier than a typical cool-climate white, it remains smooth and balanced on the palate. Stone and orchard fruit carry into a delicate saline finish, giving the wine breadth without losing freshness.
Whispering Horse 2019 Cavallo Rosso
Red apple, tart rhubarb and fresh citrus lead, followed by bright maraschino cherry and a quiet earthy note. The palate is vivid and lightly sparkling, balancing crunchy red fruit with brisk acidity and a clean, savoury line. Fine bubbles keep the texture buoyant, while cherry and citrus linger through a dry-feeling, refreshingly direct finish.
Chaberton 2025 Estate Grown Bacchus
Lemon zest and crisp apple lead a bright, clean profile, softened by gentle floral tones of honeysuckle. The palate enters with generous fruit but stays fresh and well defined, balancing richness with lively acidity. Composed and easy to pair, it suits roast poultry, shellfish, fresh cheeses or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
