Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaA new look label and a new direction for this 2024 Rosé, which blends 63% pinot noir, 15% pinot gris, 12% gamay, and 10% chardonnay from a mix of estate and neighbouring vineyards. Winemaker Stacy Hornemann ferments each variety separately in a mix of stainless, neutral French oak, and concrete, with partial malolactic fermentation. Juicy and super bright, at a skinny 11%, the citrus aromas and flavours light up the palate with what Treve nails as a 'strawberry yogurt' undercurrent. Taut, dry, and ready for shellfish.

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaA fresh new label, direction, and overseeing ownership for this long time Cowichan Winery, and all are entirely welcome. This 2024 Rosé blends 63% pinot noir, 15% pinot gris, 12% gamay, and 10% chardonnay from estate and neighbouring vineyards. Each variety was fermented separately in a mix of stainless, neutral French oak, and concrete, with partial MLF. Juicy and bright, at a skinny 11%, this streaks across the slight palate with ample coastal acidity, leaving strawberry yogurt, mandarin, and crunchy green apple in its wake. A fresh, dry, saline pink to drink this summer.Tasted: 16 April 2026Tasted by: Prices:
