Muscat Ottonel was the first white 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.
The principal vineyards for this wine are surrounded by fruit orchards along the Naramata Bench. The ultimate "terroir" influence - contributing peach, nectarine and apple characteristics.
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.
Sourced from four Naramata Bench vineyards ranging in age from 10 to 45 years old. Deep floral and tropical aromas. Bright flavours of ruby grapefruit with hints of ginger.
