I was amazed that we were chosen to carry these high end wines.

He tasted me through his first Chardonnay...
It was the best Chardonnay I had ever tasted in my life...

It was the best Chardonnay I had ever tasted in my life...
He then tasted me through his third Chardonnay...
It was the...need I say more? This Chardonnay screamed of a beautiful woman...

Weekend Tastings

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH
3-6 PM

Arrowleaf 2015 Riesling $19.12 +taxes 
This Riesling is grown in the Ritchie Vineyard, located just south of Okanagan Centre. The climate here is generally cool in grape growing terms, yet the 2015 vintage was an exceptionally warm one that had us harvesting much earlier in the fall to preserve the natural acidity in the grapes. Floral, apricot, pineapple and lemon aromas. On the palate it presents itself as a dry wine, with a prominent streak of fresh acidity that is the hallmark of the Riesling grape. The residual sugar is barely perceptible, yet it softens the acidity just enough to lift the fruit and let the flavours shine.


DOUBLE GOLD and Best White Wine of the Year - 2016 All Canadian Wine Championships SILVER MEDAL - 2016 National Wine Awards of Canada

Arrowleaf 2015 Solstice Pinot Gris $23.99 +taxes
A nuanced, dry wine featuring floral, apple, pear and vanilla flavours. The natural acidity and mineral-like extract of the old vines is balanced by the creaminess and richness imparted by the wood and lees aging. It is a complex, dry wine that is best enjoyed with dinner.  Pair with creamy pasta dishes with chicken or salmon, potato gratin with caramelized onions and roasted vegetables. Pairs well with soft and semi-hard cheeses

Silver - 2016 Mondial des Pinots, Switzerland


Arrowleaf 2014 Solstice Pinot Noir $27.82 +taxes 
The scenic Ritchie Vineyard is located between Kelowna and Lake Country overlooking Okanagan Lake. The vineyard has the slope, soil, clones and climate to grow premium Pinot Noir, but it is the ethereal nature of the wine it produces that warrants it as a single vineyard bottling. The wine is made with minimal intervention and aged in French oak puncheons for 12 months to add structure and finesse. Solstice Pinot Noir reflects the essence of our surroundings and our commitment to quality. Very clean and pure expression of cherry, raspberry and floral notes. The fruit flavours fill the palate and a stony minerality accentuates the finish. The wine is exuberant and youthful at the moment and will gain complexity with age.

GOLD MEDAL- 2015 BC WINE AWARDS SILVER MEDAL- 2015 Mondial Des Pinots, Switzerland


Arrowleaf 2013 Solstice Reserve $24.34 +taxes 
The 2013 Solstice Reserve is a blend of 63% Merlot and 37% Zweigelt grown in Suncrest Vineyard and Ritchie Vineyard, both located in Okanagan Centre. This wine reflects its origins through low yields in the vineyard, minimal handling and slow maturation techniques. It is aged in French and American oak barrels for fifteen months and only the best barrels are selected for the final blend. Solstice Reserve reflects both the essence of our unique surroundings and our commitment to quality. Rich, dark cherry and plum aromas with subtle notes of vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and generous, providing plenty of ripe fruit through to the finish. This unique and age-worthy blend is our signature red wine. A wine that takes its time to show its best also deserves the same of its food. It's best with grilled red meats, roasts or hearty stews.
