Slick, juicy, expressive
Founded in 2001 by winemaker Ted Kane, River Stone is a small estate winery located in Oliver BC. It's comprised of two estate vineyards focusing primarily on Bordeaux-varieties and aromatic whites; the tasting room was opened in 2010.
Like many Okanagan wineries, hit hard by a disastrous widespread cold snap in 2024, River Stone reach out to our neighbours to the south in Washington and Oregon to source fruit to make wine. River Stone selected grapes from Horse Heaven Hills and Wahluke Slope in Washington State. I'm always game for a good Chenin and this one is simply lovely. Expect a fruit-cup of aromas like melon, peach and pear along with honey and citrus blossoms. It's just as pretty in the mouth; expressive, slick and juicy with great structure and just a kiss of sweetness.
