Tasting notes

Made from 100% Muscat Ottonel grown on our estate, this is the only wine of its kind produced in the Okanagan Valley. The warm 2009 summer sun ripened these grapes to golden perfection producing a wine of memorable vintage.

Food pairings

Its lovely floral aromas and hints of spice pair beautifully with Thai food. On a hot summer’s day our Muscat Ottonel is the ultimate picnic wine!

Quotes

"Hillside Estate Muscat Ottonel 2009 is a grand picnic treat. This luscious, sweet-edged wine is B.C.'s only Muscat Ottonel. Last year's climbed easily onto one of the best of the year lists; this vintage is slightly less sweet but no less satisfying. Fresh and nicely vegetal, it's an outstanding food wine that will keep you company from appetizer through main and right to dessert ... Great gift idea." - Jurgen Gothe in his Uncorked Column of the Georgia Straight (June 3-10, 2010).
