Saanich Peninsula, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Sannich's Sunnydale Vineyard, this dry pinot noir rosé comes from the sedimentary slopes of Mount Newton. The clone 164 fruit was crushed and destemmed before fermentation in neutral French oak, where it remained 4 months with lees before bottling. Pouring a pale peach hue, this dry, sleek pink streams along the lighter palate with wild strawberries, raspberry blossoms, Rainier cherries along a peach yogurt base, finishing with lingering stony spice, and bright coastal acidity. A smart island wine to crack into this summer.Tasted: 21 July 2026Tasted by: Prices:
Saanich Peninsula, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaUnsworth remains among BC's leading rosé producers, albeit in a style that I'd hardly call mainstream. Sunnydale Vineyard fruit delivers purity, finesse, and freshness, layering wild strawberry, rhubarb, and citrus within a supportive but tart frame of acidity. It is a delicate yet persistent style best suited to coastal oysters served raw, or to clams gently steamed with onions and tomatoes. Ready to drink, this bone dry pinot noir rosé is crafted from grapes grown on southeast facing slopes in Saanichton on Vancouver Island.Tasted: 27 June 2026Tasted by: Prices:
