This 100% Naramata Bench pinot noir shines with juicy raspberry and wild strawberry aromas and flavours. The silky texture lingers on the palate while a hint of spice add to its beautiful complexity.
Legend has it that Hillside’s founder planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the valley. That first row still lies just to the south of the Howe vineyard, source of this lovely wine. The depth and flavours of blackberry jam, black cherries, and cocoa powder, along with its power and elegance, continue to amaze us.
Sourced from a warm Naramata site above the lake, the malbec was given a 6 day cold soak and fermented with 20 days extended skin contact. Aged in older French oak, then blended with Naramata Bench merlot. Final blend is 46% malbec with 11 months barrel maturation in French oak.
A long established vineyard just south of Naramata village is the source of this beautiful Malbec. Filled with flavours of spice cake and dark fruit, this wine is sure to please.
Naramata Bench terroir and a long hang-time have created a wine with refined aromatic intensity. Think of this as a “summer chardonnay”. Our Viognier has intriguing fragrances of spring blossoms and honeysuckle, with hints of Chai spice.
In this generous wine the bright cranberry aromas of Cabernet Franc highlight deep plum and blackberry scents of merlot. This charming bouquet carries over and flavours of red and black cherries linger on the palate. Beautifully balanced, this wine has a lush tannin structure and a seamless finish.
Muscat Ottonel was the first variety planted at the Hillside farm (1984), and has been a favorite here for some 30 years. The Muscat family numbers over 200, and Ottonel is a particularly floral, refreshing member. This wine has lovely floral aromas and hints of spice.
