Our Narrative Red is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Expressing true Okanagan characteristics of red fruits with a distinctive herbal note. Soft tannins coupled with nicely balanced acidity make this an easy drinking wine on its own or paired with food.

From the Jonathan Maltus stable comes this light, Provence style rosé, only it is made at one of his St-Émilion properties. Maltus is widely acclaimed for the glamorous style of his wines, and although this example favours elegance over richness and fruit expression, there is some roundness to the body alongside vibrant strawberry and vanilla flavours. The fruit is ripe but not sweet, emphasised by more savoury-edged red apple and redcurrant notes coming through on the mid-palate.

Elegant and soft on the palate, Aureliano Primitivo is packed full of fruit and spice, continuing from the aromas on the nose. Ripe red raspberries are unmistakeable, as well as flavours of blackberry and pepper. Light acidity and pleasant tannins delivers an approachable wine for everyone

There is a mild touch of reduction that isn't enough to mask the spicy black cherry, cassis and earth nuances. The juicy and succulent medium weight flavors are relatively concentrated while terminating in a suave yet serious, persistent and gently rustic finish. There is a hint of backend dryness but I attribute this to the recent bottling.
