Fresh, smooth, balanced.

Tangy, verdant, lively
Covert Farms is a 650-acre, four-generations, family-owned organic farm and winery estate located just north of Oliver.
This organic Pinot Blanc is very Sauvignon Blanc-esque with notes of tangy lime and green apples, crunchy white tree fruits, nettle and hops, with hints of peach blossoms. The palate has a kiss of sweetness and verdant flavours to mimic the nose. Tangy gooseberry, lime and wild herbs trail across the finish.

Ruby, juicy, slick.
The family heirloom known as Covert Farms, is a 650-acre multi-functional estate that was established in 1959 at McIntyre Bluff.
Ignoring the trend of pale and silvery pinks, Covert Farms delivers their version, which is bright ruby red. Made predominantly from Merlot, it also has 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Syrah in the blend. Organic certified it was soaked on skins for 9 hours and aged on lees in stainless for 4 months. Fresh notes of cranberry juice, raspberries and concord grapes are layered with honey, orange blossoms and cedar chips. It's off-dry, juicy and has a boozy edge, the texture is slick with good intensity. Flavours of charred rhubarb and cherry pit dominate the palate.

Tangy, fruity, balanced.
The family heirloom known as Covert Farms, is a 650-acre multi-functional regeneratively-farmed estate that was established in 1959 at McIntyre Bluff.
Covert Farms' 2022 rose is a slamon/ruby shade made from organically certified Merlot, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv. Expect cranberry and sage, pomegranate, raspberry, vanilla and notes of fresh wildflowers. That dulcet fruity nose is echoed on the palate; it has a fleshiness and a spiced and tangy finish.
