*Seven Directions 2025 Grenache Rosé

This is a spectacular release and the highly anticipated first Estate Grenache Rosé . For such a young vineyard, this wine is flat-out exceptional and it already speaks the language of the Similkameen with that deep, stony minerality the valley does like nowhere else.

100% barrel fermented, this rosé is sumptuous and rich, while still delivering outstanding structure and precision. The nose is not only pretty… it’s deeply satisfying and instantly puts a smile on your face. Give it enough time to open up, and this becomes a true “wow moment. The aromatics are incredibly fragrant and precise, alpine strawberries, fresh cranberries, ambrosia apple, white peach, dragon fruit, and a subtle touch of oak barrel.

The palate follows the same path beautifully, loaded with strawberries and cream, crabapple, sour cherry, and tangerine. The mid-palate is perfectly structured with vibrant acidity and beautifully integrated oak, while the finish is simply ridiculous… that long, salty mineral finish lingers for what feels like five minutes

Like most wines made by Daniel Bontorin, this one asks for time to breathe and almost always drinks even better on the second day. This is a decadent wine.
