Description: The Osoyoos Larose is deep in colour and fresh and scented on the nose. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot, it is elegant, yet concentrated on the palate, with flavours of plum and cassis. It has weight and power but also style, elegance, complexity and great finesse.
Osoyoos Larose is the result of a joint venture between Chateau Gruaud Larose and Vincor, the owners of Inniskillin. The vineyards are situated in the southern part of the Okanagan Valley, on the shores of Lake Osoyoos. The proximity to the lake mitigates the very warm temperatures in the near desert conditions of the Okanagan. The vineyards were first planted in 1999, since when the project has been overseen by Bordeaux-based viticulturalist Alain Sutre. In 2002, Bordeaux winemaker Pascal Madevon moved to British Columbia to become resident winemaker and viticulturalist at Osoyoos Larose.

Mission Hill Riesling ICEWINE British Columbia Canada
A bright medium gold colour entices the eye. Aromas explode on the nose of over-ripe apricots, honey and delicious brown sugar. The palate impresses with intense richness countered by a fresh and cutting acidity that prevents cloying and provides a dry finish to the intensely luscious nature of the wine. With the huge concentration of fruit your palate is rewarded with a length that goes on for minutes. An outstanding quality wine with harmony, finesse and elegance. (12 x 18.7 cl)
Mission Hill SLC Chardonnay British Columbia Canada
S.L.C. stands for Select Lot Collect and this Chardonnay is a stylish wine with refinement and plenty of flavour.

These ultra-premium wines represent the height of the winemaking craft at Mission Hill Family Estate. Carefully selected fruit from designated vineyard lots is barrel aged in French oak to produce complex, balanced, age-worthy wines made with dedication and conviction. Grown in semi-desert conditions with less than 300 mm of rainfall, these rare wines are cultivated in the country's warmest appellation. (6 x 75 cl)

Mission Hill OCULUS Okanagan Valley British Columbia Canada
A delightfully complex wine that offers layers of characteristic bell pepper, blackberry, currant, cedar, smoke and truffle notes. On the palate, the combination of sweet bright fruit fills the mouth and a fine coating of tannin builds towards the medium-long finish. Some youthful grip at this time, but also very ripe and forward, reflective of the warm vintage. This bottle will age gracefully for several years to come.
