2024 Rosé Magnum: Breast Cancer Canada
We only produced 102 magnums of our limited-release 2024 Rosé sourced from Columbia Valley, AVA in Washington State. With several members of our team being touched by Breast Cancer in one shape or form, we wanted to advocate and promote the need for further research and awareness. A portion of proceeds from the sale of these magnums plus all tasting fees collected in the month of May 2025 will be donated to Breast Cancer Canada.
*Due to the fundraising efforts with this wine, we are not offering a club member discount on this product.

Tasting Notes
The Rosé is a delicate pink colour and boasts notes of strawberries and cream with a touch of rosemary and fresh herbs. The acid is beautifully balanced, and the palate is textured. Flavours of wild strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries are dominant here. It is bright and fresh, making it the ultimate pairing with a floppy hat on a hot day.
Vineyard Notes
The 2024 vintage experienced severe cold temperatures in January resulting in roughly 98% crop loss at Anarchist Mountain Vineyard and many of our grower’s vineyards. Fortunately, the latter part of the growing season was extremely favourable leading to healthy vines with strong top shoot growth. This leaves us very optimistic and excited for the 2025 growing season and beyond. In the meantime, we were able to build new relationships with our American neighbours in Washington State and secure juice for our white and Rosé wines. This is a great opportunity that has allowed us to experience a unique terroir in a new wine region. We are looking forward to producing local Okanagan wines and continuing our partnership with our BC grower’s again next vintage.
Winemaker Notes
The Merlot for our 2024 Rosé was harvested from Gearheart Vineyard, in the Wahluke Slope, AVA in Washington State, USA. We received it at the winery on October 2nd and 30th. It underwent our usual slow and long, primary fermentation allowing the freshness and clean crisp flavors to shine through.
