@dirtylaundry Pinot Gris 2024($21.99) “100% Pin @dirtylaundry Pinot Gris 2024($21.99)

“100% Pinot Gris sourced from vineyards in the Yakima Valley, one of the oldest AVAs in Washington State. To retain crispness and minimize colour, juice is pressed off the skins right away and cold settled in a tank for a few days before fermentation begins. Fermentation temperatures stay relatively low to bring out interesting fruity esters and retain bright acidity. This is a well-rounded representation of the most planted varietal in Yakima and a favourite in the Dirty Laundry Winery line-up.” Mason Spink

Alcohol % 12.0 / pH 3.43/ TA 5.9 / RS 2.1

This easy-drinking, medium-bodied Pinot Gris offers delicate aromas of tropical fruit and honeydew melon. On the palate, vibrant Mandarin orange takes the lead, followed by lush ripe pear and subtle floral notes. Well-balanced with a crisp, refreshing finish. 91 Points.

@bottegawinestudio Seven Directions Cabernet Franc @bottegawinestudio Seven Directions Cabernet Franc Rosé with @gonecrackers 

“Sourced from a single vineyard, this varietal Cobernet Franc rosé was sustainably formed on a small grower-owned parcel in Osoyoos, B.C. Due to the extreme freeze in December 2022, Fruilvale Ridge Vineyard was hit hard, yielding a minuscule grape crop that was not even enough to produce a few cases of wine. These younger vines, only four years old, fared well over the winter freeze, so we opted to use this portion of grapes for this season.

Staying true to our minimalist, low-intervention winemaking, these grapes were hand-harvested on September 9th, 2023, with 23.1 6 brix. The grapes were crushed immediately with no skin contact. Lightly pressed and fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aroma. Battonage in the tonk was performed weekly during fermentation for added texture and mouthfeel.” Daniel Bontorin, winemaker.

Alcohol: 13.0%/ pH: 3.39 / TA: 6.20 / RS: 2.1

The premium Rosé displays a delicate pale salmon hue. Its vibrant nose reveals enticing aromas of apricot, raspberry, and white peach, accented by subtle sagebrush. The palate is refined and textured, echoing the nose with flavours of strawberry, red cherry, a touch of rhubarb, and a mineral edge. Balanced natural tannins and crisp acidity culminate in a refined, saline finish. 92 Points

@dirtylaundry Riesling 2024🇨🇦🥂 “The 20 @dirtylaundry Riesling 2024🇨🇦🥂

“The 2024 Riesling fruit was sourced from Yakima Valley in Washington State and is a beautifully fruit-forward, yet dry style of this versatile grape. Each block of fruit is picked and then fermented separately in stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fresh aromatics.” Mason Spink

Alcohol % 12.1 / pH 3.09/ TA 6.9 / RS 2.1

This dry Riesling captivates with enticing aromas of crisp Granny Smith apple, delicate honey, and zesty lemon rind. On the palate, it unveils vibrant flavours of Meyer lemon, tart Key lime, and juicy pink grapefruit, underscored by a striking minerality. Perfectly balanced, this medium-bodied wine delivers lively acidity and a memorable, harmonious finish. 91 Points

@dirtylaundrywinery Hush Rosé 2024🇨🇦🍷

“Hush Rose is a favourite in the Dirty Laundry portfolio and we are incredibly excited to be able to release our first single-varietal with the 2024 vintage. ln this special vintage, our winemaker Mason Spink used 100% Syrah grapes sourced from Washington State, juice was pressed with minimal skin contact, resulting in a delicate salmon-pink colour and bringing thoughts of long days spent lounging on a patio.

Juices were fermented at relatively cool temperatures, preserving aromatics, then racked off into stainless steel for settling. Our wildly popular Rose is the ultimate crowd-pleaser and one that our winemaking team looks forward to each year.”

Alcohol % 13.0 / pH 3.66/ TA 5.25 / RS 8.2

This radiant watermelon-pink rosé captivates with its electric hue and stunning clarity. Lively aromas of red currant, ripe strawberry, and tart rhubarb dance on the nose, while the palate bursts with juicy watermelon, bright cherry, and fresh strawberry. Light to medium-bodied, it offers crisp, well-balanced acidity and a refreshing, vibrant finish. 91 Points

@dirtylaundrywinery Sauvignon Blanc with sockeye S @dirtylaundrywinery Sauvignon Blanc with sockeye Salmon🇨🇦🥂

“Fruit sourced from Yakima Valley, WA, vineyards, fermented separately with various yeasts to give us some blending options. Fruit was destemmed and crushed, soaked on skins for 2 hours under CO2 in the press before gently pressing off skins into stainless tanks. Lees stirring in stainless tanks is performed once daily to build complexity and body. Fermentation temperatures were kept low to preserve the delicate aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc.”

Alcohol % 12.9 / pH 3.37/ TA 5.3 / RS 1.9

Pale lemon in hue, this wine captivates with vivid aromas of tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and fresh spring herbs. Its medium-bodied palate is crisp and fruit-forward, offering a harmonious balance of bright acidity and vibrant flavours, including gooseberry, lemon zest, lime, mandarin orange, passion fruit, and a subtle hint of grapefruit. Refreshing and elegant, it finishes with finesse. 92 Points.

@dirtylaundrywinery Hush White 2024 “This blend @dirtylaundrywinery Hush White 2024

“This blend has quickly become a fan favourite and was the second wine to join the Hush family. This wine was created to be fun, interesting and flavourful – a palate pleaser through and through! All portions are fermented separately, and the final blend is carefully chosen; all grapes are sourced from the Yakima Valley. A balanced blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay makes this an approachable, easy-drinking wine.”

Alcohol % 12.7 / pH 3.55/ TA 6.4 / RS 9.8

Discover enchanting aromas of white blossoms, zesty grapefruit, and tropical papaya. On the palate, a harmonious interplay of juicy apricots, lush yellow peaches, vibrant Meyer lemons, and a delicate honeyed finish unfolds. This 2024 blend, slightly sweeter than its predecessor, shines as a quintessential summer patio sipper, offering refreshing elegance and crowd-pleasing charm. 90 Points.
