The name 8th Generation refers to the eight generations of Schales family who have dedicated their lives to winemaking - starting in Germany in 1783 and now continuing in Summerland. One of the Okanagan's newest wineries 8th Generation is showing promise.
The Rose is made from 100% Pinot Meunier and is a very pale salmon hue. Aromas of sweet berries, peach skin, orange peel and earthy undertones. On the palate it's refreshing and crisp - pleasantly off-dry with fresh berries, tobacco and lingering cedar and spices on the finish. Snappy acidity with a strong backbone that makes it good for sipping solo or alfresco meals.
