Pretty, fizzy, refreshing. The second vintage of this newish fizz from Hester Creek is made in a Prosecco style from Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer with a splash of Semillon. A fruity wine, Ti Amo I love you goes through a secondary (Charmat-Martinotti) fermentation in tank preserving its dulcet character.
If you love Prosecco, Ti Amo will be just to your liking; pretty aromas of fine spring floral notes are layered with candied citrus peel, crunchy tree fruits and just a flash of coconut. It's off-dry and lively with a fizzy character and pristine fruitiness.
Quaffable and refreshing.

It's got a frothy character and expressive fruit; juicy and quite joyful, it's a floral and fruity fizz with good concentration and a persistent finish.

NEW, fizzy, fruity. This inaugural fizz from Hester Creek is made in a Prosecco style from Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and a splash of Semillon. A fruity wine, Ti Amo I love you went through its secondary Charmat-Martinotti fermentation in tank preserving its dulcet character.
Crunchy orchard fruit aromas are robed in honey and citrus blossoms. A kiss of sweetness lifts the delicate fruit, it has a lively bubble and charming demeanor. Quaffable, pristine and juicy; a nice first go for Hester Creek and addition for new winemaker, Okanagan native Mark Hopley, who took over from Rob Summers who retired earlier this year.

Spicy, grippy, earthy,
Made from some of the oldest Cabernet Franc vines in BC, this Cab Franc delivers red currents, and forest berries, leather, bittersweet cocoa, toasted spice and charred orange peel aromas. The entry is fresh and spicy, green oak flavours quickly follow and it trails tart red fruits. Good acidity overall but the tannins are dry and grippy.
Suggested pairings: Game meats, lamb, roast duck or hearty stews and pastas.

Slick, intense, earthy,
Made from some of the oldest Cabernet Franc vines in BC, this intense Cab Franc is succulent and meaty; pepper, cola spices and wild berries aromas are inhaled. It is slick in texture, fresh and spicy with an earthy impression overall. Balanced acidity adds levity and it tapers into sweet spices mingled with pepper, cocoa and bacon fat.
Suggested pairings: Game meats, lamb, roast duck or hearty stews and pastas.
