WINEMAKING NOTES

2023 was another fantastic vintage for Rose and Pinot Noir (quality-wise, as quantity is way down). Vaila is Made entirely with the “presse method”.  This rosé is produced from the gently pressed juice of Pinot Noir grapes and entirely steel tank aged. It is a serious, yet fun, delicate wine perfect for the summer. The 2023 Vaïla comes in at a low 12.5% alc./vol. and as usual presents a very pale salmon colour along with explosive aromas of rhubarb sorbet, pink grapefruit rind and the amazingly bright and crunchy red fruit BC rosés are increasingly becoming known and famous for. Sunshine captured in a bottle.

Slideshow Items

  • This pale salmon shaded rose is dry, well textured and shows very good length.[…] The nose is quite complex with a compote of red fruits – rhubarb, currant and strawberry – very typical of pinot noir rose. There is also a subtle, odd meaty/charcuterie note. It is medium weight with good flavour intensity and very good to excellent length. This will be best enjoyed with food rather than as a patio charmer.
