WineDiva's Review

Toasty, zesty, fresh.
Founded in 2001 by winemaker Ted Kane, River Stone is a small estate winery located in Oliver BC. It's comprised of two estate vineyards focusing primarily on Bordeaux-varieties and aromatic whites; the tasting room was opened in 2010.
Like many Okanagan wineries, hit hard by a disastrous widespread cold snap in 2024, River Stone reach out to our neighbours to the south in Washington and Oregon to source fruit to make wine. River Stone selected grapes from Horse Heaven Hills and Wahluke Slope in Washington State. This Chard has a golden hue with, despite being unoaked, aromas of hazelnuts and toast, yellow apples and lemon, wet stone and vanilla, grilled pineapples and wild herbs. The palate seems toasty as well, with notes echoing the nose alongside fresh melon and Meyer lemon flavours. The finish is zesty.
