The Thompson Valley has come a long way in the pas The Thompson Valley has come a long way in the past decade, and Monte Creek Winery continues to prove just how exciting this emerging wine region has become.

I recently tasted six of @montecreekwinery newest releases, including two organic sparkling wines, an organic Rosé, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and the fun, blueberry-infused Split Decision. Together, they highlight the winery's commitment to sustainable farming, cool-climate winemaking and wines that overdeliver for their price.

If you're looking for some delicious BC wines to enjoy this summer, these are well worth a look.

🍇🫐 Split Decision Blueberry Grape Sparkling (4-pac 🍇🫐 Split Decision Blueberry Grape Sparkling (4-pack $21.99)

Who says sparkling wine has to be serious? 🎉

@montecreekwinery Split Decision is one of BC's most unique summer sippers, blending locally grown blueberries with BC wine grapes to create a lightly sparkling wine that's bursting with personality.

Expect fragrant aromas of blueberry, lavender and a touch of cotton candy, followed by juicy blueberry flavours, delicate bubbles and bright, refreshing acidity. It's fresh, fruity and unapologetically fun, made for patios, picnics and celebrating the little things. 🥂

🍓 Perfect with: Strawberry & goat cheese salad, brunch favourites, waffles with fresh berries, pulled pork; or simply served ice cold on a warm summer afternoon.

Have you tried a blueberry sparkling wine before?

Fine, creamy bubbles and lively acidity make every sip irresistibly refreshing.

🍷 Cabernet Franc at its finest. @montecreekwinery 🍷 Cabernet Franc at its finest.

@montecreekwinery 2023 Living Land Cabernet Franc ($28.99) proves that a challenging vintage can still produce something exceptional. This beautifully balanced Cabernet Franc is a testament to careful vineyard management and thoughtful winemaking.

🫐 Aromas of blueberry and dark cherry lead into rich flavours of black cherry, ripe plum and dark chocolate, layered with subtle earthy and tobacco notes. Grippy tannins, fresh acidity and a long, persistent finish make this a wine that's delicious now and has the structure to reward cellaring.
