A second sip starts to open the palate revealing underlying flavours of lychee, cantaloupe, and light notes of ginger spice and lemon zest. A must-have for any white wine lover.
This wine’s signature food pairing is peanut chicken satay but it’s also a great match for spicy tuna rolls, roasted vegetables, or brie and fig crostini.

Varietal Gewürztraminer
Although not an easy grape to grow- it is definitely worth the effort. Gewürztraminer is unmistakable in its heady, aromatic intensity, with a fragrance of lychee, tropical fruit and even rose petals. A very unique off-dry wine that is very, very drinkable. It’s a perfect wine to enjoy with spicy dishes and is a treat with a simple snack like salted nuts or potato chips.
Varietal Pinot Grigio
Known as Pinot Gris in France, this cousin of the Chardonnay grape is now more readily known as Pinot Grigio (the Italian version). Pinot Gris typically offers good fruit and medium body while Pinot Grigio wines are lively, zippy and crisp. Both are great with a variety of foods and are a great sipper on a hot summer day. Pinot Grigios and Pinot Gris are currently Canada's favourite white wines.
Region Lodi, California
Grapes have long been a part of the Lodi landscape, where bountiful wild vines used to grow along riverbanks. From the first planted vines in the mid-1800s, the region has flourished into a world-class producer, with most of the land dedicated to red wine grape varieties. Lodi’s grapes benefit from a Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights, and a dry growing season which allows growers to precisely manage vine growth through irrigation. Two mountain-fed rivers run through the region bringing rich granite-based minerals to the soil which lend complex flavours to the grapes.
Sweetness Off-Dry
Off-Dry wines like Gewurztraminer have minimal sweetness which is not perceived by the average wine drinker- while providing an easy drinking characteristic that people enjoy.
Body Medium
Great for food, medium bodied wines typically have alcohol levels below 14% and less oak.
Oak None
No oak is present as is the case for most whites, rosés and light, fruity reds.
