Westcott Estate Chardonnay
After growing grapes and consulting at wineries for many years, in 2012 Grant Westcott and his wife Carolyn Hurst finally decided to make their own wines on the estate. They have since continued to expand through the tasting room, ran by their daughter, Victoria and have bought Butler’s Grant Vineyards on Twenty Mile Bench.
A rich style of Chardonnay from the Niagra region with baked apple, apricot and mango aromas. Well intergrated oak leaves light toasty notes on the palate with a dry yet creamy finish. Drink now or whenever you want reminding that life is really good.
Definitely one to try, outstanding Chardonnay from Canada!
Westcott Estate Pinot Noir
After growing grapes and consulting at wineries for many years, in 2012 Grant Westcott and his wife Carolyn Hurst finally decided to make their own wines on the estate. They have since continued to expand through the tasting room, ran by their daughter, Victoria and have bought Butler’s Grant Vineyards on Twenty Mile Bench.
Aromas of black cherry, vanilla and sweet spice. Fresh and vibrant red fruit on the palate with vanilla, caramel and dark berry accents on the finish. This pinot noir is medium bodied with pleasant tannins and a long finish.
Haywire Waters & Banks Sauvignon Blanc
“Haywire” is an old Canadianism that refers to wire used for baling hay. This type of wire tended to tangle and be unpredictable making it an apt description of Christine Coletta and Steve Lornie’s impromptu decision to forgo retirement and journey into the wine business. The pair first launched Haywire in 2009 as a tiny virtual wine brand. In 2011 a permanent home for Haywire was established on Switchback Vineyard in Summerland with the opening of Okanagan Crush Pad.
Lively notes of tropical fruits of green mango and grapefruit with cream and distinct ‘Okanagan’ herbal aromatics of rosemary and bay leaf. Beautifully balanced with a lush mouthfeel, backed by refreshing acidity.
