Hillside Winery

Beside the winery lies our first planting, the 1984 block that produced the lovely fruit for this Gamay Noir. This is a medium-bodied, fruit forward wine. Raspberry and cedar notes highlight the aroma, while the palate delivers a fine, silky texture. 

Gjoa’s vineyard, situated just below our winery, was established 27 years ago.  These mature vines produce fruit which stands out with deep plum and mocha aromas and a savoury note to the palate, lending sophistication to the finish. So fun to taste and compare with our Dickinson Vineyard Merlot! 

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.
