This glorious Muscat is wonderfully fragrant and is my favourite of the JoieFarm portfolio.
It's pale straw in colour with the extraordinary scents of lavender soap, ginger, rose petals and lychee, white grapes and orange zest. It attacks your palate with white nectarine, grapefruit peel, lavender pastilles and star anise. It boasts an oily texture, has a whisper of sweetness, amazing concentration and a potent and lengthy finish.
Pristine. Made from Moscato Giallo and Moscato Canelli both grown on the Naramata Bench.

This is an extremely verdant and tangy Savvy with assertive notes of green beans and jalapeno, elderflowers and kaffir lime leaf and a core of gooseberry, lemon and passionfruit. The palate follows suit; it is herbaceous and vibrates with citrus peel, passionfruit, grass clippings, asparagus and jalapeno. The finish is racy and zesty.
A wine for herbed quiche, goat cheese and asparagus tarts or seafood salads.
Attractive price.

Consistently one of my favourite BC white wines, the Quails' Gate Chenin Blanc has beautiful notes of guava, pear and melon, honey and citrus blossoms with a smoky core. It's a mouthwatering white that is tangy and has a clean, fresh palate dominated with zesty citrus flavours. It has a smoky/mineral character and very good length.

An delightful expression of creamy yellow Bartlett pear, honeysuckle, orange blossoms and a spritz of exotic citrus. It is simply fantastic on the palate - weighted and slick with wonderful concentration. It has a whisper of sweetness offset with racy acidity. The flavours of citrus peel and crisp pear cling to your tongue and persist on a lengthy finish.
Recommended pairings: salmon, spicy crab cakes, prawns, baked chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce or seasonal turkey dinners.

This Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc was sourced and labeled by the folks from Vancouver Urban Winery. It's a fragrant white with juicy gooseberry and passionfruit, grass clippings, sweet herbs and capsicum with citrus and elderflower branch. It tastes like it smells; passionfruit, herbs, lemon rind. The palate is a little leaner than expected but the finish is mouthwatering and zesty.

A bright and tangy rendition of this notable variety. The nose offers grass clippings and gooseberry, elderflower and loads of citric notes. The palate falls in line with zesty pomelo citrus flavours layered with gooseberry and lemongrass. The finish is fresh and lively and suited to arparagus fritters, herb quiche, seafood salads and most starters.

This yummy, blushing-copper rose consistently offers great value.
Dynamic pink grapefruit, strawberry and rhubarb notes lead to orange blossoms and faint spice. The palate is wonderfully juicy; it has good concentration and zingy tart red fruit layered with citrus. It’s the ultimate patio wine but trust me, you can pair it with anything from salads and cheese to thin-crust pizza, salmon and pork.

Here's a fragrant blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, which is made from grapes harvested near Oliver.
It has a unique smoky and earthy character that is lifted with apricot jam, golden apples, faint spice and a rich honey with a nod to caramel, nose. The palate reflects the nose - honey and apples, stone fruit and citrus flavours are interspersed with savoury herbs, and smoky minerality. It has good concentration with a lively finish.

Here is a delicious, snappy and focused Riesling, which offers aromas of tart green apples, lemondrops, lime and honeysuckle with hints of slate and stone fruits. The palate is tangy and dry with racy acidity and long, mouthwatering finish. A stylish white that will keep you coming back for more.
A wine for oozing cream sauces, seafood and white meats.

The aromas in this organic Chilean Savvy are roasted capsicum, asparagus, green beans and lime underscored with passionfruit and gooseberry. Sweet and juicy citrus dominates the palate and is layered with tropical fruit, fresh herbs and savoury green vegetables.
Solid style to pair with starter salads or asparagus and goat's cheese quiche.
