Poplar Grove Rosé 2025

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia V.Q.A., Canada
18 hours, 29 minutes ago

Jennifer scored this wine: 92/100

Perfectly summery, this rose is made from a blend of estate grapes, with lots of watermelon, rhubarb and cantelope, along with a slightly floral hint. Dry on the palate, with medium acidity, and a crisp, slightly rounded texture, the fruit flavours are vibrant along with a hint of citrus and a note of salinity. Beautiful! Enjoy as a summer patio sipper or with shrimp pasta balanced with herbs and citrus notes.

This is a beautiful, estate grown Sauvignon Blanc from the Okanagan Valley, with lots of tropical flavours such as pineapple and passionfruit, along with notes of lime zest. Light and vibrant on the palate with mouthwatering acidity, and a crisp finish. Perfectly refreshing for summer, enjoy with ceviche, or with some goat cheese appetizers.

Always nice to see these Okanagan Pinot Noir arrive in the LCBO. This one has some strawberry and cherry notes with a hint of baking spice and black tea. On the palate the wine is dry, medium bodied, with medium+ acidity. This wine spent 9 months in old French oak barrels, contributing to a subtle oak note and a rounded finish. Enjoy with any pork or mushroom dishes.

All of the Family Tree wines have some lore related to a Speck family ancestor, this one paying tribute to their earliest known ancestor. Check out the bottle for the story. This is a bright Sauvignon Blanc, lovely and aromatic with a lot of citrus and trropical notes, including lemon, grapefruit, passionfruit, and mango. Dry, with mouthwatering acidity, and a crisp, clean finish. Enjoy with white fish dishes.
