Tangy, juicy, precision. From Township 7's new acquisition, the Blue Terrace Vineyard on the northern end of the Black Sage Bench in Oliver, this delicious and refreshing savvy offers peaches and honey, nettle and apple blossoms, on the nose. It has a kiss of sweetness but is pristine and juicy with slightly savoury undertones. The finish is long and tangy.
Pair: Asparagus fritters, herb quiche, coconut curries, seafood salads and most appetizers.

Fragrant, creamy, fresh.
The berries for this Chardonnay were plucked from Oliver's Vista Lago Vineyard. One-half was fermented in French barriques with the remaining half in stainless steel. The wine in barrel then underwent malolactic fermentation to enhance the texture further while the stainless-steel portion maintained the natural acidity.
It's a fresh style, fruit-forward with melon and golden apples, honey, vanilla, and acacia flower aromas. It has a creaminess on the tongue but is more lively in character. Pristine fruit and citrus with hints of apple butter and toasted spice on the finish. Pair: lobster, cedar planked salmon, creamy chicken dishes, creamy fettucini, grilled white fish, breaded and fried oysters, roast chicken or squash ravioli.

Fresh, silky, savoury.
Harvested from the estate Rock Pocket Vineyard on the north Oliver Bench, there were 328 cases made of this Cabernet Franc. Notes of chocolate and toffee, red currents and licorice mingle with savoury aromas of tealeaf, spice and dried herbs. It is supple; the texture silky and it boasts high-toned red fruit. The finish is long and fresh.

Fresh, silky, fragrant.
Harvested from the estate vineyards there were less than 700 cases made of this Cabernet Franc. Fragrant and forthright aromas of cherries, vanilla, red currents, violets and licorice with liberal baking spice. The palate is medium-full with very good freshness overall. Slick but more diluted than I expected, with a slightly textural finish trailing bittersweet cocoa tannins.

Succulent, fragrant, fresh. This vintage is a fragrant one with notes of sweet vanilla, cassis, velvety cocoa baking spices and hints of licorice. The palate is more restrained; a combination of red and black fruits, spice and tobacco flavours dominate. Expect a fresh red with smooth tannins and a cocoa finish.
