🍑🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Viognier One of the st 🍑🥂 2025 @hestercreekwinery Viognier One of the standout white wines of the outstanding 2025 Okanagan vintage, this South Okanagan Viognier has already earned 91 points and a place among the Top 50 Wines at the 2026 BC Wine Awards. Aromas of ripe apricot, fresh ginger, orange blossom and honeysuckle leap from the glass. The palate is richly textured yet beautifully balanced, revealing layers of white peach, pineapple, apricot and honeycomb, accented by subtle spice and a delicate mineral note. A velvety mouthfeel and vibrant freshness carry through to a long, elegant finish. 92 Points 🍑 White peach 🍍 Pineapple 🌼 Orange blossom & honeysuckle ✨ Silky texture with vibrant acidity Perfect as a summer patio sipper or paired with Asian cuisine, seafood pasta, roast chicken or creamy cheeses. #HesterCreek #Viognier #OkanaganWine #BCWine #BCWineTrends #SouthOkanagan #DrinkBCWine #WineLover #WhiteWine #WineReview #ExploreBCWineCountry #Top50WinesBC #OkanaganValley #WinePairing #SummerSipping @josephinenhutte 🍷☀️
🥂 @hestercreekwinery Riesling 2025 + Portuguese Sa 🥂 @hestercreekwinery Riesling 2025 + Portuguese Sardine Bruschetta 🇵🇹 One of the most enjoyable pairings I've discovered this summer is Hester Creek's new Riesling alongside Portuguese Sardine Bruschetta. The wine's bright acidity and touch of residual sweetness beautifully complement the rich, savoury sardines, while its citrus, apple and floral notes lift the flavours of fresh tomato, red onion and herbs. The result is a pairing that feels fresh, vibrant and made for warm evenings on the patio. The 2025 Riesling opens with aromas of crisp apple, honeysuckle, white peach and melon. On the palate, Honeycrisp apple, honeydew melon and citrus blossom are balanced by lively acidity and a subtle touch of sweetness, leading to a long, refreshing finish. ⭐ 92 Points While it shines with sweet-and-sour prawns, Asian cuisine and spicy dishes, don't overlook it with Mediterranean-inspired appetizers like sardine bruschetta. The combination is outstanding. 🍷 Hester Creek Riesling 🍅 Portuguese Sardine Bruschetta ☀️ Summer patio perfection #BCWine #BCRiesling #HesterCreek #OkanaganWine #WinePairing #PortugueseFood #Bruschetta #Sardines #WineLover #BCWineTrends @josephinenhutte

🥂 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. #HesterCreek #PinotNoirRosé #BCWine #OkanaganWine #SouthOkanagan #RoséAllDay #DrinkBCWine #WineLover #WineReview #BCWineTrends

🥂❤️ 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. ❤️ #HesterCreek #TiAmo #SparklingWine #BCWine #OkanaganWine #WineLover #WinePairing #Burrata #Ravioli #BCWineTrends #CelebrateWithWine #OkanaganLife
