Hillside Winery

A late spring and moderate summer followed by warm fall days gave this Syrah block beautiful aromatics and afforded the hang time required for full ripening of tannins. Planted in 2001, our Hidden Valley Vineyard, a bowl shaped valley behind the winery on Naramata Road.

Here at Hillside, we believe it is incredibly important to give back to your community. This year, for every bottle of 2020 Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon purchased, Hillside will donate $10 to One Sky Community Resources. Only 10 cases of this special wine are available!

OneSky Community Resources has been providing quality supports and services to communities throughout the South Okanagan/Similkameen for over 50 years. From care for newborn babies to services for seniors, they proudly serve over 600 individuals and their families every day.

ABOUT THE WINE: Sourced from gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon vines just North of the winery, blended with Merlot from our premium Gjoa & Dickinson Vineyards. Beautifully balanced, this wine has a lush tannin structure and seamless finish. Full bodied with abundant dark fruit & spiced mocha flavours.

Only 10 cases available. 

This elegant and refined Merlot is filled with aromas of cassis and coffee which are mirrored in the palate, alongside flavours of ripe cherry, and hints of dark chocolate. 

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! 

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.
