šŸ· Four Fresh 2025 Releases from Vasanti Estate Win šŸ· Four Fresh 2025 Releases from Vasanti Estate Winery

The Renewal Series feels like an especially fitting name this year.

After the devastating 2024 growing season, family-owned Vasanti Estate Winery in Oliver is back with four fresh 2025 releases showcasing South Okanagan fruit.

šŸ„‚ Paradise Bubbles 2025
100% Pinot Gris with bright lemon, lime pith and grapefruit, finished with a lively sparkle.

🌿 Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Vasanti’s first Sauvignon Blanc, grown at the cool Paradise Vineyard and fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh aromatic character.

šŸ Pinot Gris 2025
Whole-cluster pressed, cool fermented and given two weeks on fine lees with regular bâtonnage for added texture while retaining freshness.

🌸 Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2025
92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. Direct pressed, beautifully pale and seriously dry at just 0.79 g/L residual sugar.

Four wines that celebrate renewal, family farming and the return of a BC-grown vintage.

And there’s another good reason to support Vasanti right now: the winery has been helping the Summerland community during the recent wildfire emergency.

šŸ‹ @tantaluswine Riesling 2023 — 93 Points with BBQ šŸ‹ @tantaluswine Riesling 2023 — 93 Points
with BBQ Chicken, Sweet Baby Ray’s & Home-Grown Green Beans

A wonderfully expressive East Kelowna Riesling showing a whole library of citrus—key lime, mandarin orange and pink grapefruit—joined by ripe apricot and a subtle fresh herbal note.

The palate is beautifully balanced, with a touch of residual sugar rounded by vibrant natural acidity, keeping the wine refreshing rather than sweet. Medium-bodied, lively and wonderfully food-friendly, with an excellent lingering finish. 93 Points.

šŸ— Paired with BBQ chicken glazed with Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce and home-grown green beans. The Riesling’s bright acidity and touch of sweetness work beautifully with the smoky, sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.

A delicious reminder of just how well East Kelowna Riesling can age.

K Little Vintners My White 2025 — 90 Points

This fresh new release from Bottega Wine Studio blends 66% Chardonnay from own-rooted vines in Oliver with 34% Gewürztraminer from the Similkameen Valley.

šŸ Tropical fruit and a touch of lychee lead into flavours of pineapple, ripe pear, yellow apple and pink grapefruit. Lively acidity keeps everything crisp and refreshing, with a beautifully balanced dry finish.

At $24, it’s a fun, easy-drinking BC white—and with only 170 cases produced, a true small-lot release.

šŸ„’ Paired here with a cool cucumber soup on a warm Okanagan day. The wine’s bright acidity and aromatic fruit are a lovely match.

Fresh, fun and very K Little.

Township 7 seven stars RIGEL 2023 — 92 Points

A rather unique expression of BC bubbles — traditional-method sparkling Riesling from Township 7’s acclaimed seven stars collection.

Crafted entirely from Riesling grown at Fool’s Gold Vineyard near Oliver, RIGEL spent 12 months en tirage, developing a persistent, creamy mousse while retaining that wonderful Riesling freshness.

šŸ‹ Lime zest, green apple and lightly toasted brioche lead into crisp citrus and orchard fruit, with a touch of sweetness beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity and flinty minerality.

Fresh, lively and wonderfully refreshing. 92 Points.

šŸ· Hester Creek THE JUDGE 2022 — 94 Points A bench šŸ· Hester Creek THE JUDGE 2022 — 94 Points

A benchmark vintage of one of the South Okanagan’s signature reds.

The Judge opens with a deeply layered bouquet of dark cherry, black plum, star anise, cocoa nib and cedar, evolving toward dried fig, graphite, espresso and warm caramel.

Broad and beautifully structured on the palate, with ripe Lapin cherry, blackberry compote, roasted fennel and espresso crema, supported by polished tannins and vibrant freshness. The finish is long and savoury, lingering with tobacco leaf, dark cocoa and baking spice.

Powerful, refined and built to age gracefully for a decade or more. 94 Points.

šŸ‡ 47% Merlot | 34% Cabernet Franc | 17% Cabernet Sauvignon | 1% Petit Verdot | 1% Malbec
🪵 Aged 24 months in 100% French oak
šŸ· 14.2% Alc.

šŸ· @ancienthillestatewinery Baco Noir 2019 — A Rare šŸ· @ancienthillestatewinery Baco Noir 2019 — A Rare BC Red

Baco Noir isn’t chasing popularity—and that’s exactly its appeal.

With just 12 acres planted across British Columbia, roughly 0.1% of the province’s vineyard land, Baco Noir is one of BC wine country’s true rarities.

And the Ancient Hills Baco Noir 2019 shows just how impressive this overlooked grape can be.

šŸ’ Tasting Notes: A superb expression of Baco Noir, pouring a bold, inky red. Aromas of ripe black cherry, dark plum and warm baking spices mingle with chocolate, vanilla and a touch of butterscotch. The palate is soft yet powerful, with a lush, velvety texture and a long finish balancing rich fruit with refined spice. 91 Points.

This is Baco Noir with some serious personality. Rich, distinctive and a reminder that some of BC’s least fashionable grapes can produce some of its most interesting wines.

šŸ· Personality over popularity.
