Fresh, zesty, crisp.
Naramata Bench's Red Rooster Winery is sporting a much needed new look these days with labels which capture various stages of the winemaking process.
The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc delivers notes of tree fruits and grass clippings, wildflower, green almond with wet stone and tart lemony undertones. The palate mimics the nose; green apple, lemon and grassy flavours dominate. It's a crisp, straightforward and zesty white.

This sur lie Chardonnay was harvested from around Oliver. It was aged on skins (sur lie) and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Lemon and matchstick, yellow apple, quince and hazelnut aromas lead to a slick palate. Fresh citrus peel and pith, and yellow apple flavours dominate. Chablis-like.
Pair with white meats, salads, smoked cheeses and charcuterie.
