🌹🍷 2025 @hestercreekwinery Rosé Cabernet Franc 🍷🌹 🌹🍷 2025 @hestercreekwinery Rosé Cabernet Franc 🍷🌹 A perennial Hester Creek favourite returns for 2025. Crafted from 100% South Okanagan Cabernet Franc, this rosé undergoes three days of skin contact to achieve its signature deep pink hue and generous texture. 🍓 Aromas of ripe strawberry, rhubarb and delicate floral notes lead into a vibrant palate of fresh strawberry, juicy raspberry and subtle rhubarb. A touch of residual sweetness adds roundness, while bright acidity keeps everything fresh and balanced. Easy-drinking yet flavourful, this is the kind of rosé that shines on the patio, at the picnic table or alongside a summer charcuterie board. 🧀 Pair with charcuterie, spicy sopressata or creamy blue cheese. ⭐ 91 Points

🍷 @hestercreekwinery Welcomes Summer: Six New Rele 🍷 @hestercreekwinery Welcomes Summer: Six New Releases to Discover Summer has officially arrived at Hester Creek, and the winery is celebrating with six exciting new releases that showcase the diversity of the South Okanagan and beyond. From two distinctive rosés and a refreshing sparkling wine to an award-winning Viognier and a bold red blend, there's a wine here for every patio, picnic and BBQ. 🌸 2025 Rosé Cabernet Franc A cult favourite crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc. Extended skin contact delivers its signature deep pink hue, expressive aromatics and rich, mouth-filling texture. Patio season perfection. 🌷 2025 Rosé Pinot Noir A lighter, Provençal-inspired style made from South Okanagan Pinot Noir. Delicate, elegant and refreshing, designed for lovers of classic dry rosé. 🍋 2025 Riesling Bright, crisp and inviting, with a touch of residual sugar that makes it an ideal companion for Asian cuisine, seafood and summer entertaining. Enjoy now or cellar for added complexity. 🥂 2025 Ti Amo Sparkling Returning to the lineup, this Charmat-method sparkling wine is fresh, lively and made for celebrations. The perfect way to add a little sparkle to warm summer days. 🌼 2025 Viognier Already turning heads with 91 points and a Top 50 BC Wine Awards placement. Limited production and available only through the winery, making this one of the most sought-after wines of the release. 🥩 2024 Columbia Valley Petit Verdot Malbec Sourced from Washington State's renowned Red Mountain region, this rich and powerful red is built for grilled steaks, burgers and summer BBQs. A bold finale to an impressive lineup. Which wine am I most excited to try? The award-winning Viognier and the return of Ti Amo are at the top of my list, but Hester Creek's Rosé Cabernet Franc has a habit of stealing the show every summer. 🍷☀️ #BCWine #HesterCreek #OkanaganWine #BCVQA #RoséSeason #Viognier #Riesling #SparklingWine #PetitVerdot #Malbec #WineLover #BCWineTrends
🎉🥂 80 years young and still making memories worth 🎉🥂 80 years young and still making memories worth toasting. A birthday dinner that brought together a few of my favourite things: great wine, great food, and great company. We started with @drinkriverstone Stone Albariño paired with olives and Portuguese-inspired sardine bruschetta — a reminder of the incredible flavours and memories from our recent trip to Portugal. 🇵🇹🍷 The main event was herb-crusted rack of lamb with crispy baked potatoes, perfectly matched with the River Stone 2022 Small Lot Merlot. Rich, elegant, and a wonderful pairing for a special occasion. And to finish? A glass of 25-Year-Old @janneau_armagnac — smooth, complex, and the perfect way to celebrate eight decades of adventures, friendships, travel, family, and gratitude. Here's to good neighbours, good wine, and making every year count. 🥂 #BirthdayDinner #RiverStoneWinery #Albariño #Merlot #WineAndFood #RackOfLamb #OkanaganWine #BCWine #PortugalMemories #Armagnac #WineLover #FoodAndWinePairing #BCWineTrends 🍷🎂🥂
🥂🇨🇦 @drinkriverstone Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Good Nei 🥂🇨🇦 @drinkriverstone Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Good Neighbours Series A fascinating cross-border blend bringing together Sauvignon Blanc from Washington's Yakima Valley and River Stone's returning estate fruit from Boulder City Vineyard in Oliver. Bright aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and delicate florals lead into flavours of crisp green apple, pink grapefruit, lime, honeydew melon and passionfruit. A silky texture, flinty minerality and vibrant acidity carry through to a long, refreshing finish. Paired perfectly with pan-fried lingcod, this is a Sauvignon Blanc that balances New World fruit intensity with Okanagan freshness and precision. 🍋🍈🍏 Fresh, vibrant and beautifully layered. 🏆 91 Points 🥂 12.3% alc. | 300 cases | $25.90 #RiverStoneEstateWinery #GoodNeighboursSeries #SauvignonBlanc #CraftedInBC #BCWine #YakimaValley #OliverBC #OkanaganWine #WineAndFood #Lingcod #BCWineTrends @josephinenhutte
🥂 @drinkriverstone Chenin Blanc 2025 🥂 One of the 🥂 @drinkriverstone Chenin Blanc 2025 🥂 One of the most intriguing wines in River Stone's Good Neighbours Series, this Chenin Blanc showcases why the variety continues to win over wine lovers worldwide. Sourced from Washington State's Ancient Lakes AVA, the wine opens with fragrant aromas of stone fruit and delicate rose petals. On the palate, layers of Mandarin orange, passion fruit and ripe peach unfold across a rich, textured mouthfeel, while vibrant acidity keeps everything fresh and beautifully balanced. At just 11.9% alcohol, it's an elegant, food-friendly white that bridges the gap between Loire Valley inspiration and New World fruit expression. 90 Points 🍑🍊🌹 #RiverStoneEstateWinery #CheninBlanc #GoodNeighboursSeries #CraftedInBC #AncientLakesAVA #WashingtonWine #BCWine #BCWineTrends #WineLover #OkanaganWine #WhiteWine #WineReview #DrinkLocal #SummerSipping #WineGram
