Pretty, slick, pristine.
A rarity in the Okanagan, this 100% Semillon comes from Hester Creek estate's Block 12 on the Golden Mile Bench. The vines were planted in '97/'98 and the wine was fermented in stainless steel and a small portion of French oak.
Honey, lemon curds, peaches and yellow pears, beeswax and straw flowers are delivered on the nose. Crunchy, pristine and well-formed, it has a kiss of sweetness carved off by lively acidity.
A pretty wine with a lovely slick mouthfeel and a zesty finish.

Crunchy, sweet, balanced.
Made from a single block of Semillon vines, planted 20 years ago on Hester Creek’s estate vineyard, this Semillon shows classic aromas of honey, waxy lemon peel, crunchy white fruit, lime and peach. It is off-dry, deftly balanced and offers plenty of sweet crisp fruit flavours. Tasty wine.

Fresh, juicy, spicy.
A small lot wine made from estate Viognier that delivers honey and peaches, vanilla and exotic spice aromas. It is fresh and textural and spicy. Not a blouse-y or fleshy version, its on the leaner and brighter side with some phenolic grip on the finish.
