Sandhill Rose 2023

Introduction

Produced in Canada, this vibrant rosé originates from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, with fruit typically sourced from vineyards in Oliver and Osoyoos. Sandhill is a member of the Andrew Peller Limited portfolio and is defined by a 'non-interventionist' winemaking philosophy led by head winemaker Sydney Valentino. The winery’s approach is centered on the belief that great wine starts in the vineyard, utilizing a 'gentle touch' to allow the natural fruit flavours and unique BC terroir to shine through in every bottle.

Wine Description

This rosé typically displays a pale salmon pink or delicate coral hue. The nose is highly aromatic and summer-pretty, featuring fragrant notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate, often accented by white peach, crab apple, and rose petals. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing with a silky texture, offering flavours of tangy red berries, watermelon, and Rainier cherry. The experience concludes with a clean, dry finish that often reveals subtle lingering notes of citrus, black tea, and a touch of spice.
