🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Viognier 🍑✨ A standout 🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Viognier 🍑✨

A standout South Okanagan Viognier that has already earned recognition as one of the Top 50 Wines in BC at the 2026 BC Wine Awards.

Expressive aromas of ripe apricot, fresh ginger, orange blossom and honeysuckle lead into a richly textured palate layered with white peach, pineapple, apricot and honeycomb. Hints of spice, vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral note bring balance and freshness to the wine's velvety mouthfeel and long, elegant finish.

92 Points 🍷

Perfect for summer patios, spicy Asian dishes, seafood curry, or creamy pasta.

🥂 Pair with Thai coconut curry, ginger-glazed salmon, chicken satay, or butternut squash ravioli.

🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Rosé Pinot Noir 🍷 A Pro 🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Rosé Pinot Noir 🍷

A Provençal-inspired Rosé crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the South Okanagan.

Delicate in colour yet full of character, this Rosé opens with aromas of orange zest, wild strawberry and subtle rose petal notes. The palate is fresh and vibrant, showcasing flavours of strawberry, rhubarb and mandarin orange, balanced by lively acidity and a silky texture. A touch of creaminess carries through to a long, refreshing finish.

A beautifully balanced summer sipper that pairs perfectly with sunny patios, fresh seafood, grilled chicken, or a charcuterie board.

91 Points

🥂 Pair with grilled prawns, Niçoise salad, smoked salmon, or creamy goat cheese.

🥂❤️ 2025 @hestercreekwinery Ti Amo ❤️🥂 "Ti Amo" m 🥂❤️ 2025 @hestercreekwinery Ti Amo ❤️🥂

"Ti Amo" means I Love You, making this sparkling wine a perfect choice for celebrations, special moments, or simply sharing with someone you care about.

Produced using the Charmat method, this lively blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat delivers fine, persistent bubbles, fragrant aromas of citrus blossom, ripe peach and delicate florals, followed by flavours of crisp apple, Bosc pear, orange zest and lemon curd. A touch of sweetness is beautifully balanced by bright acidity, creating a sparkler that is fresh, vibrant and incredibly easy to enjoy.

🍾 91 Points

Pictured here paired with Burrata and Lemon Zest Ravioli, but Ti Amo is equally at home as an aperitif, at brunch, with creamy cheeses or alongside fruit-based desserts.

A sparkling reminder that sometimes the simplest message is the best one: Ti Amo. ❤️

🍷 River Stone Small Lot Merlot 2022 | 93 Points S 🍷 River Stone Small Lot Merlot 2022 | 93 Points

Sometimes the best wines come from experimentation.

River Stone's Small Lot Merlot 2022 was crafted from a tiny 100-case production using the saignée method, concentrating flavour, colour and structure before spending 24 months in French oak.

The result? A rich, powerful yet beautifully balanced Merlot bursting with dark plum, blackberry, black cherry, cocoa, roasted coffee and sweet baking spice.

On the palate, layers of blackberry, black currant and blueberry unfold across a silky texture framed by refined tannins and a long, lingering finish.

🍷 93 Points

📦 Only 100 cases produced

It was a perfect match with grilled rack of lamb and crispy baked potatoes.

A reminder that while River Stone's Good Neighbours wines have deservedly earned attention, the winery continues to produce outstanding estate-grown reds.
