Hillside Rosé Below the Road 2025

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2025 edition of Below the Road Rosé is from pinot noir grown on three sites of luctaraimne soils that sit below the Main road that runs across the Naramata Bench. It spends four months on its lees in older French oak barrels. It has a strong mix of confected berry with a riff of umami and spice through the finish. It has both richness and structure, suggesting it is food oriented, and not just something you would sip around the pool.Tasted: 22 June 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
