点评:When I’m about to enjoy a wine tasting from a winery that is 100% certified organic, I generally have slightly higher expectations. Rollingdale winery did not disappoint. They make some fantastic wines out of the grape varieties that they grow on their 13 acre property, namely Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Merlot.
(they source grapes from other properties when needed)
We started with their bubbles… Made from their estate Pinot Blanc it was tasty.
We then enjoyed the 2020 Riesling… classic petrol/diesel notes with this wine.
Riesling, Gwerztraminer and Pinot Gris were blended in the third wine we tried at Rollingdale. This wine was named Flirty Three and I suggested it might’ve been called the “ménage à vine” and surprisingly, he mentioned that name was in the running as a candidate. Regardless, it was tasty enough that we bought some. We then enjoyed a rosé made from two different grapes, Gwerztraminer and mostly a Marechal Foch. It was a really good rosé.
We then entered the Darkside and tried some red wine. 2017 Pinot Noir was first.
We ended up having fairly lengthy conversations with the gentleman that was pouring our wine. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the winery, the wines, and the wine industry in the Okanagan in general.
Frankly, I stopped taking notes and just enjoyed the wine. Overall, this is a must visit winery. If you are wine touring in the Okanagan, stop here.
翻译:当我准备品尝一家 100% 有机认证酒庄的葡萄酒时,我通常会有更高的期望。Rollingdale 酒庄没有让我失望。他们用自己在 13 英亩的土地上种植的葡萄品种酿造了一些很棒的葡萄酒,即灰比诺、白比诺、霞多丽和梅洛。
(必要时他们会从其他酒庄采购葡萄)
我们从他们的气泡酒开始……用他们庄园的白比诺酿造,味道很好。
然后我们享用了 2020 年的雷司令……这款酒带有经典的汽油/柴油味。
我们在 Rollingdale 品尝的第三款葡萄酒混合了雷司令、Gwerztraminer 和灰比诺。这款酒名为 Flirty Three,我建议它可能被称为“ménage à vine”,令人惊讶的是,他提到这个名字很有希望。不管怎样,它足够美味,我们买了一些。然后,我们品尝了由两种不同葡萄酿制的桃红葡萄酒,一种是 Gwerztraminer,另一种主要是 Marechal Foch。这是一款非常好的桃红葡萄酒。
然后我们进入 Darkside 品尝了一些红酒。首先是 2017 年黑皮诺。
我们最终与为我们倒酒的那位先生进行了相当长时间的交谈。他非常友好,对酒庄、葡萄酒以及奥肯那根的葡萄酒行业了如指掌。
坦率地说,我不再做笔记,只是享受葡萄酒。总的来说,这是一个必去的酒庄。如果您正在奥肯那根进行葡萄酒之旅,请在这里停留。
