Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Commencing with uplifted aromas that bring gooseberry, lemon zest and grapefruit to the nose, this
Sauvignon Blanc follows along the classic lines of tropical melon, citrus rind and light herbaceous notes on
the palate. Make this wine a staple for your next gathering by pairing it with warm goat cheese crostini or a poached sable fish.
Vineyard Notes
The 2024 vintage from Hester Creek was sourced from just south of the border in the Columbia Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA). This AVA and its sub-AVAs were chosen for the proximity and similarities to the South Okanagan with respect to terroir, varietals and viticultural history. We chose the vineyard blocks based on our quality standards and all the winemaking was done in-house by our winemaking team. Across the sub-AVAs, bud break began in late March with a cool spring. By July, temperatures climbed to above average and balanced out the Growing Degree Days. The season produced large grape clusters with small berry sizes, leading to great quality fruit for winemaking. Each cluster of grapes for Hester Creek was hand harvested, starting with our Sauvignon Blanc on September 2, and ending with Petit Verdot and Malbec on October 5. The grapes were brought to our crush pad in recyclable containers and hand sorted by our team before continuing the winemaking process.
Winemaker Notes
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand harvested on September 2, 2024 in the White Bluffs AVA of the
Columbia Valley. Once harvested, they were loaded into temperature-controlled trucks and brought to our
crush pad the same day as picking. The grapes were hand sorted, destemmed and cold settled for two days. Our team racked off the juice lees and began a 21-day fermentation. The resulting wine was racked and cross blended to be aged in stainless steel for four months and subsequently bottled on January 22, 2025.
