Reserve Roussanne 2022

Golden Mile Bench

Our 2022 Reserve Roussanne opens with aromas of ripe stone fruits, floral notes, and a hint of spice. The palate is full-bodied and lush, offering flavours of honeyed apricot, juicy pear, and tropical pineapple, balanced by refreshing acidity. Aged in French oak for 14 months, followed by stainless steel, it finishes with a lingering, subtle mineral edge. Pair it with seafood, poultry, creamy pasta, or mild cheeses. Only 146 cases produced.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 vintage began with a brisk, damp spring, heralding one of the Okanagan Valley’s coolest years in two decades. Summer followed with typical temperatures and rainfall. This combination led to an exceptionally late harvest, a rare event for the region. The resulting fruit boasted heightened acidity and vibrant freshness.
