Fall Seasonal Promotion

- We are delighted to offer, for the first time, 2 new Limited Edition Series in our 4 week wine category.  As these are available in limited quantities and for a limited time, we are asking that you please pre-order by August 3rd.  We will receive our shipment September 7th.

World Vineyard Chilean Carmenere/Malbec

Chile's signature grape, Carmenere brings dark cherry and chocolate while Malbec gives black fruits, red berries, spice and great structure, all leading to a lush toasty-smoky finish.

 World Vineyard Argentine Chardonnay/Torrontes

Argentina's greatest white grape, Torrontes has enticing aromas of peach and orange blossoms, citrus and white fruit, complimenting Chardonnay's tropical fruit and green apple notes ending with a mouthfilling finish.

Each of these wines will sell for $125.00 per 30 bottles and come with beautiful clear, self-adhesive labels.

 

- We are also pleased to bring you a new Selection International Release for the Fall Season. As above, we ask that you pre-order by August 3rd.

Selection International French Gamay Nouveau

A unique new red wine - one that you can enjoy young and fresh, like a white wine and is actually ready to drink on bottling day.

Our Gamay Nouveau, like France's Beaujolais, is a celebration of harvest season.  Fresh, lush and juicy, this wine is a bold purple-red colour.  Lightly chilled it reveals bold fruit, with hints of banana, pear, candy - some even say bubble gum - and the low levels of tannin make it deliciously drinkable.  (Despite the description, it is a dry wine.) It will sell for $165.00 per 30 bottles and comes with clear, self-adhesive labels.

Selection Speciale

- We are pleased to announce the return of Chocolate Raspberry Port and Okanagan Peach Icewine and the introduction of Blackberry Port.  Talk about liquid decadence!   All of the following selections produce 15 - 750ml bottles or 30 - 375ml bottles.  Please pre-order by August 3rd

 

Blackberry Port

Often used to describe Cabernet Sauvignon, blackberry aromas are deep and richly fruity.  This along with lingering tannins and a gorgeous deep purple-red hue make it an excellent foil for the broad richness of Port.  Bright berry notes make this wine a superb match for intense cheeses, roasted nuts and especially chocolate desserts.   $120.00

Chocolate Raspberry Port

Hugely popular last year this wine is bursting with rich, intense flavours and aromas, has traditional Port character of warm, rounded cherry and plum, supported by a racy zing of raspberry.  Perfumed and gently tart with luscious liquid chocolate, bequiling with dark, bittersweet aromas of coffee and vanilla.  Wonderful with any dessert.   $120.00

Okanagan Peach Icewine

The Okanagan Valley has very low annual average rainfall and part of the valley is a true desert!  In this climate grapes ripen to perfect intensity, with notes of honey, apricot and spice.  Winexpert's Okanagan Peach Icewine has deep floral notes, stone fruit and perfect sweetness, balanced with the sun ripened perfume of a luscious peach.  Great on its own or as an accompaniment to earthy or salty cheeses like Danish blue or Tilsit or spicy snacks like tapas or flavourful Asian dishes.   $125.00

 

Update on Estate Small Lots Series

We still have a very few of this delicious BC Chardonnay.  Val is a true naysayer when it comes to Chardonnay but she is infatuated with this beautiful, silky, very lightly oaked version.

Treat yourself!

BC Black Sage Bench Chardonnay

British Columbia is at the forefront of new, New-World Chardonnays, with a crisp, bright style that's perfectly balanced for food or casual sipping.  Pale yellow, with fresh mineral and citrus flavours, notes of pear, white peach, green apple and fine acidity lead to a long creamy finish with notes of honey.  This wine can be left unoaked or gently oaked to add notes of vanilla, smoke and butterscotch.

Twisted Mists

These two new summer release products have taken us by storm.  Still lots of time to get in on your own taste of summer with either Strawberry Margarita or Mojito.  Both produce 30 bottles of fun for only $130.00!!

Crushendo Update

We have received many questions about the new ultra-premium "skinless" product to replace Crushendo.  Winexpert has advised us that the official announcement of this product will be within the next few weeks and available for sale in September.  This will be a celebration of the very best wines we have to offer!

American Express - Reminder

Due to increasingly excessive (gouging) fees, we have decided to no longer accept Amercian Express cards.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Update on Taya

Yup, Taya, Chad, Jade and Mya are finally in their new home.  Taya took a week off work to get moved (she's back now, phew!)and she is a very proud and excited first-time homeowner.  Good on ya!

Long Weekend Hours

To celebrate BC Day, we will be closed on Monday, August 2nd.

Hopefully, everyone will be enjoying the long weekend in the sunshine!!

 

 

Cheers from all of us at Coastal Winemakers,
