🍷 @hestercreekwinery Chardonnay 2025 | 91 Points | $26.99

Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced, this barrel-fermented Chardonnay from @hestercreek is a lovely expression of South Okanagan fruit.

Nine months of barrel aging brings wonderful texture and complexity while preserving the wine's fresh, vibrant character.

🍐 On the nose: Ripe pear, golden apple, lemongrass and a hint of warm spice.

🍋 On the palate: Medium to full-bodied, with delicious flavours of ripe apple and caramel, lifted by bright Meyer lemon. A lingering note of crème brûlée makes for a particularly satisfying finish.

✨ 91 Points — BCWineTrends

🍽️ Perfect pairing: Roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta or baked salmon with lemon butter.

A delicious Chardonnay for those who enjoy richness without sacrificing freshness!

🍷🍝 Lasagna night calls for a red with Character! 🍷🍝 Lasagna night calls for a red with Character!

Hester Creek Character Red 2025 is a delicious match for hearty homemade lasagna.

This South Okanagan five-variety blend brings together Petit Verdot, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Hester Creek's distinctive Italian Merlot.

🫐 Aromas of blueberry, vanilla and cloves lead to rich flavours of black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with smooth tannins and a long, satisfying finish.

The juicy fruit and gentle spice pair beautifully with layers of pasta, rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. 😋
