Mt Boucherie Estate Winery was established in 2001, and is family-owned and operated. The Gidda family has grown grapes in the Okanagan since 1968, and now have vineyards in Cawston (Similkameen area), West Kelowna and Okanagan Falls. All of the red wines, white wines, icewines and dessert wines that Mt Boucherie produces are from estate-grown grapes. The 20,000 sq foot facility is open year-round to visitors.
Can't make it to Kelowna this year? Come join David Leigh at Hillside Liquor Store from 2-6 pm, and sample the 2008 Chardonnay (unoaked), the 2008 Gewurztraminer and the 2006 Merlot.
2008 Unoaked Chardonnay:
Produced from our estate grown grapes this slightly off-dry, unoaked white wine displays lively aromas and flavours of cantaloupe, pear, green apple and a touch of honey. A fresh, crisp white with a long refreshing finish. Pair with grilled seafood and seasonal salads.
2008 Gewurztraminer:Intense aromas and flavours of lychee nut, rose petals and passion fruit followed by a clean refreshing off-dry finish. Classic match with spicier cuisine or on its own.
2006 Merlot:
Aromas of dark plums, dark chocolate, vanilla and gamey notes. Ripe blackberries, cassis and a hint of black pepper tantalize the palate. A rich mouth-feel, good structure and round tannins lead to a long and smooth finish. Enjoy with grilled steak or bison.
