Delightful, mouthwatering, zesty.
A boutique winery located just outside of Penticton, Pentage sits on 35-acres overlooking Skaha Lake.
This delightful Bordeaux-inspired white blend (85% Sauvignon and 15% Semillon) delivers notes of nettle and wild honey, grass clippings, fleshy peaches, white chocolate and green apples. It's a zesty wine with oodles of waxy citrus melded with green and yellow fruits. Mouthwatering and concentrated it's a lovely example of this type of blend.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Undressed.

Harmonious, elegant, classic.
A boutique winery located just outside of Penticton, Pentage sits on 35-acres overlooking Skaha Lake and grows an impressive 19 varieties in their Vista Ridge and Dirty Dozen Vineyards. Production is capped at 5000 cases per year.
With nearly six years of age already, this 2016 Syrah was fermented in four different batches, using four different hand selected yeasts then matured for 18 months in 70% French and 30% American oak; 30% of the barrels were new oak and the balance was in 2-4 years old barriques.
It suggests wild berries and prune plums, smoked paprika, dark cocoa, salted licorice and peppery spice flavours. It is fresh, has a silky texture and savoury undertones. Elegant with classic styling, it trails spice, vanilla, black fruit and herbal flavours.

Savoury, structure, smooth.
Located on the Skaha Bench overlooking stunning Skaha Lake near Penticton, Pentage is an underrated family owned boutique winery.
One of the few Tempranillos made in the Okanagan, Pentage's version is blatantly savoury. It was aged for 8 months in a mix of French and American, newer and neutral oak.
Expect classic Rioja character; think cherries and sun-dried tomatoes in oil, charcuterie, salted licorice and brown spice aromas. Notable structure, it is a serious wine that is smooth and meaty and medium-full bodied. Red berries and spiced cocoa flavours dominate and trail on the finish.
