Rosé 2020
The Rosé 2020 is a gorgeous soft pink, but the flavours and aromas are anything but soft. Aromas of strawberry and watermelon with hints of floral jump out of the glass and you will discover intense flavours of strawberry, watermelon, and rhubarb with minerality.
The Rosé 2020 was hand harvested from our Cerqueira Vineyard and Summerland Vineyard. The Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer were whole cluster pressed and then fermented with a cultured yeast at 16C. The Merlot was crushed and then went through a 17 day maceration with a cultured yeast. The Rosé spent 4.5 months in stainless steel sur lees.

Bartier Bros. of the Okanagan Valley
We’re from this Valley. We grew up here, we know it, we love it, we are a product of it and we feel responsible to it. Our wines are an expression of the valley, being true to the language that can describe any aspect of the Okanagan; bright, fresh, refreshing, pristine, unspoilt, alive and so on . . .
Our ambition is to make great wines. Great wine can be found all over the world but it’s important for us not to merely copy those wines because by definition, great wine is unique and identifiable to its origin. Of course, great wine also by definition should be delicious. In the Okanagan Valley, we have a rare and precious combination of growing conditions; relatively high altitude, desert climate (hot days, cool nights), low humidity, tolerable winters from our moderating lakes, young soils lain over glacial till and all of this occurs at a very high latitude from the equator. The Okanagan epitomizes all of the great qualities, which the entire global wine industry scrambles to define itself as being.
