“In this series we bring you our #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions which we personally recommend”
Although Frind has been featured in #ThisWineThatDish it is their first year for #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions and I couldn’t be more pleased to welcome this portfolio of quality wines.
These outstanding wines, mostly new releases, are wonderful expressions of their terroir, bursting with robust flavour and depth.
2019 Riesling
Gold Medal 2021 British Columbia Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards
Silver Medal London Wine Competition
Our newly released vintage of Riesling has been a unique wine from grape to bottle. The two vineyards were hand harvested late season allowing for extra hang time to mature and develop.
The Kelowna vineyard (78%) was harvested October 18th, 2019 and the Oliver vineyard (22%) was harvested October 24th, 2019. The complexity of this off dry wine begins with honeysuckle and wildflower aromas, followed by fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours on the palate with bright, crisp acidity.

2019 The Premier
Bronze Medal International Wine & Spirits Competition
The Premier is the pinnacle blend with bold flavours, strong structure, with an elegant lingering finish. From our vineyards to our crush pad, and within our cellar and lab; our new technology, with data analysis, ensured only the finest quality fruit was
used to ferment this wine in small batches. Allowing each small lot to ferment and barrel age on its own, gives us various components to build the blend regarding flavour, structure, and finish.
The Premier is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Regent, Syrah and Marechal Foch. On the palate, the wine is layered with flavours of bright ripe cherries, cassis, raspberry, and blackberry. Soft ripe tannins with a very full midpalate and long flavourful finish of spice and hints of cocoa, make this a beautifully bold and elegant blend.
Pair with Sunday night roast and balsamic glazed roasted vegetables.
