After the devastating freeze that reshaped British Columbia’s 2024 vintage, Township 7 Vineyards & Winery is once again celebrating the Okanagan’s abundance. The winery’s latest releases include two still wines from the outstanding 2025 harvest alongside two traditional-method sparkling wines, reflecting both the resilience of its vineyards and the continued evolution of its premium Seven Stars program.
According to winemaker Mary McDermott, the 2025 growing season delivered one of the largest crops in Township 7’s history.
“Everything is coming in early and heavy,” she noted in the harvest report. Larger-than-expected yields, vibrant natural acidity and excellent flavour development made for an exceptional vintage. The biggest challenge wasn’t ripening the fruit; it was finding enough cooperage to accommodate the harvest. Sparkling wine base wines were especially impressive, allowing Township 7 to continue expanding its acclaimed Seven Stars program.
The two 2025 releases showcase that momentum beautifully.
2025 Township 7 Provenance Series Rosé ($28.97)

The 2025 Provenance Series Rosé blends fruit from several premium Naramata Bench vineyards, led by Syrah (41%) and Rotberger (38%), with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Meunier adding further complexity. Each variety was gently whole-cluster pressed with minimal skin contact before undergoing a slow, month-long cold fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness and delicate aromatics.
