Weekend Tasting!!
Arrowleaf Cellars!! "...Gold at the 2010
Northwest Wine Summit..."
"Join us this
Saturday from 2 till 5 pm as we welcome Margrit Zuppiger of Arrowleaf Cellars.
In 1996, Joe and Margrit purchased the Suncrest Vineyard in Okanagan Centre
with the goal of starting a winery. Their son Manuel went back to
Switzerland to train as a winemaker and now makes the wines at Arrowleaf.
Arrowleaf officially opened its doors in the spring of 2003 with its first
vintages of 2001 reds and 2002 whites.
We will begin with
the 2008 Pinot Gris ($15.99). This has ripe apple, pear, peach and delicate
floral aromas. It's complex and full-bodied with refreshing acidity.
Next is the 2008
Bacchus ($14.99). Bacchus is a Riesling x Sylvaner
x Mueller-Thurgau cross that produces lively, aromatic wines that are naturally
low in alcohol. This shows fresh, floral, lively citrus and peach aromas and is
crisp, off-dry and very flavourful on the palate. A great Summer Sipper!
The New 2008 First
Crush Red ($14.99) is up next. This is a blend of mostly Pinot Noir with some
Merlot and Lemberger added for structure and color. It has cherry,
plum and raspberry aromas with light spice and peppery undertones. It is medium
bodied and smooth on the palate with sweet fruit flavours lingering on the
finish.
Finally we will sample the 2007 Pinot Noir
($17.99). This has raspberry, strawberry, cherry and violet aromas with spicy,
smoky undertones. It's a delicate, medium bodied red wine with smooth
tannins. This wine won Gold at the 2010
Northwest Wine Summit, and Silver
at the 2010 All-Canadian Wine Championships!
See You Here!"
