Weekend Tastings

FRIDAY, APRIL 7TH
3-6 PM

Gray Monk 2015 Pinot Gris $18.77 +taxes
Pale lemon in colour, this wine had an intense aroma of pink grapefruit and pineapple and flavours of citrus fruits and apricots. Lively and piquant, this wine is refreshingly zesty and clean. It is a versatile partner to seafood, pasta with cream sauce, white meats and cheeses such as Parmigiano.

Gray Monk 2015 Pinot Auxerrois $17.72 +taxes
Pale lemon in colour, this wine has a fruity aroma with muted notes of lime. The complex layers of fruit flavour suggest peaches and sweetened rhubarb with a refreshing underlying acidity. Served chilled, this wine is delicious on its own, with salads, seafood or poultry. 

Gray Monk 2015 Kerner $19.81 +taxes
Lemon in hue, this wine's layered aroma suggests ripe peaches and spiced pears. The complex flavours range from butter to lemon tarts. Subtly light on the palate, this wine finishes with delicate elegance and finesse, with a hint of natural sweetness. Served chilled, this wine is attractive on its own, with salads and fresh fruits and with fresh salmon with hollandaise.

Gray Monk 2015 Rotberger $17.72 +taxes
BEST SELLER
Gray Monk’s own vineyard provided the grapes for the Rotberger. Mash from the grapes underwent a 9-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks with two days on the skins for colour. To maximize the fruit flavours strict temperature control was employed during the fermentation process. This wine dances in the glass with its dark rose petal hue. The penetrating aroma shows spice, raspberry and currant notes, leading to flavours of spiced cherries and cranberries with linger on the long, lively finish. The ample flavours and full, firm texture herald a wine that is proud to be a true rosé. Serve chilled during al fresco luncheons and picnics with a wide selection of foods including pasta, turkey and pork.


Gray Monk 2011 Odyssey Meritage $36.51 +taxes
Our reserve series now includes the Odyssey Meritage. This full bodied wine is composed of the three traditional varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, all grown in the South Okanagan Valley. Aged in new french oak barrels, the result is flavours reminiscent of blackberry jam with a hint of vanilla lending it well to pairing with lamb and beef dishes. Serve at room temperature.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8TH
3-6 PM
Lang 2015 Rose Bubble $26.37 +taxes
Estate grown by Hans Lang. Thirty-eight year old Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier Vines make this sparkling wine intense with cherry and raspberry aromatics. Very refreshing with a long mouth watering finish. Enjoy with absolutely anything or alone. Lang’s first ever sparkling. 
BRONZE MEDAL- Northwest Wine Summit 2016


Lang 2015 Farm Reserve Riesling $23.97 +taxes
BEST SELLER
Lang’s signature white wine in a classic Alsatian style, displaying lovely aromas of tropical fruits with a hint of green apple on a lively, crisp finish. It pairs well with Asian dishes, spicy foods and aged cheeses.
Gold Medal: Northwest Wine Summit 2016


Lang 2014 Cabernet Franc $26.30 +taxes
BEST SELLER
This Cabernet Franc was grown in the ideal Osoyoos desert heat. The nose on this wine provides dried cherry and plum aromas. Its palate features black currant, violets with hints of dried cedar and finished on finely integrated tannins. Pair with dark meats or rich pastas. 
SILVER MEDAL- 2016 All Canadian Wine Championships 


Lang 2015 Marechal Foch $25.20 +taxes
Our signature red wine with grapes harvested from 50-year old vines, the oldest on the Bench.

A full-bodied red, there is an earthy mineral quality that reflects the unique glacial terroir. Enjoy with lamb and red meats.
