Description
Anthony Gismondi — Canada’s most widely read wine critic — described Bordertown’s rosé as made “in the classic French Provence style,” and that is exactly what it is: impeccably crafted, dry, and more elegant than almost anything else in the BC rosé category.
Made from Bordertown’s wealth of estate Cabernet Franc vines, this wine presents a bright pink hue that foreshadows the wonderful aromas of ripe strawberries. On the palate, bright citrus, luscious red fruits and watermelon follow through with a crisp dry backbone and a delightful zip of light pepper that gives the finish a great snap. Rated 90 points by John Schreiner. Delicious for summertime BBQ and as a backyard sipper.
The BC rosé you’ve been looking for.
Its versatility at the table is one of its greatest virtues. It’s ideal alongside oysters and fresh seafood, grilled halibut and sea bass, Salade Niçoise, mezze boards, Margherita pizza, and summer salads of every description. It works equally well as a standalone aperitif, poured cold on a warm Okanagan afternoon.
One of Bordertown’s most popular wines across all categories. BC VQA certified, estate-grown, and crafted by Consulting Winemaker Daniel Bontorin in the restrained, elegant tradition that makes great rosé so celebrated worldwide.

Fashionably pale, the wine begins with aromas of wild strawberries. It delivers juicy flavours of strawberry and watermelon, with a lingering dry finish. 91.
