White

2009 Chardonnay (Dry)

This unique Chardonnay has been lovingly crafted from grapes grown and hand-picked at Oliver Twist Estate Winery along the Black Sage Bench in Oliver, BC.

This wine feels pleasantly velvety as you sip. Oliver Twist Chardonnay pairs nicely with poultry, seafood, pork, or soft cheeses.

2011 French Embrace(Off Dry)

C’est l’amour! Two French wines join to create this beautiful masterpiece.

Pairing suggestions include turkey, ham, or seafood. It also makes a great patio sipper.

2011 Pinot Gris (Dry)

2010 Patio Passion (Dry)

Outstanding White Merlot. Patio Passion is reminiscent of the aroma of a homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie, with hints of gooseberry and mint. This rosé wine has lovely berry flavours with hints of rhubarb and spice. As its name suggests, this is the perfect wine to enjoy chilled while lounging on the patio, or paired with a cheese plate or your favourite BBQ meal.
