Spring Wine Release:
Pinot Gris & Syrah

With the rainy spring in the Okanagan we are excited to warm you up with the first releases of 2017.

Pinot Gris 2016 - $19.99*
Pinot Gris ripens easily and consistently produces an enjoyable, fruit forward yet food friendly wine.  The grapes were whole cluster pressed for a fresh fruit profile and settling the juice with no skin contact.

The nose has an intense richness that follows through on the palate with notes of ripe honeydew melon, crisp ambrosia apple and ripe peach.

Syrah 2015 - $35.99*
With grapes sourced from our Perfect Hedge vineyard in Osoyoos, Syrah is deep and dense, with a nose of dark chocolate cherry ganache, peppered bacon and black currants.

Starting with a spectacularly warm spring, 2015 became one of the hottest growing seasons on record in the Okanagan.


To receive a mixed 6-pack of these wines, become a Series B Preferred Share Wine Club member and receive mixed shipments three times a year.

*Plus tax and deposit

 
   

Investing in BC Syrah

Surprising to some that still think Canada only makes ice wine, the Okanagan Valley is receiving many accolades and recognition for Syrah, especially those grown in southern BC vineyard sites. At Laughing Stock Vineyards, we have been growing Syrah for a decade, so we wanted to tell the story about what this classic varietal is bringing to the Okanagan Valley.

Watch this video on the making of our Syrah, sourced from our estate vineyard, The Perfect Hedge in Osoyoos.  We think it's been an amazing investment in discovering what BC can really do with big reds.
