Happy Canada Day! We are so fortunate to live in an area that provides so many wineries and vineyards with amazing conditions to bring us fabulous wines! We are also very thankful to live in a country that supports family businesses and entrepreneurs ❤️🇨🇦
Here at Neighbours Liquor Store, we believe in supporting other local Okanagan and BC businesses and we carry a number of the wines from Volcanic Hills Estate Winery.
Their home block vineyard is located on the SE slope of Mount Boucherie, a 60 million year old dormant volcano that actually inspired their name! And the winery meet itself is located at 2845 Boucherie Road. While they also have vines in the desert hills of Oliver and Osoyoos, their oldest vines are right here in WK, and were planted in 1978.
The winery itself is open daily at 10:00 am, 7 days a week and wine tastings are available either with or without a reservation.
Here at Neighbours Liquor Store, we offer a variety of wines from Volcanic, including:
- Magma White, a beautifully dry wine brimming with ripe fruit character. On the nose, you will find aromas of poached pears, passion fruit, mango, lychee and soft florals. The medium-bodied palate provides flavours of passion fruit, apple, pear, and lychee with a mineral driven finish. Perfectly paired with fresh summer salads, foie gras, glazed ham, soft mild cheeses, sunsets and close friends!
- Pinot Gris, is a dry, medium-bodied and fruit forward Pinot, brimming with nostalgic aromas and flavours of the Okanagan, including apple, Asian pear & white peaches, backed by a subtle florals, citrus pith and crushed pineapple. It is very expressive and is perfectly paired with patio time, truffle fries, fresh seafood, pork tenderloin, salads and cheese.
- Gewűrztraminer is bright and lively with juicy acidity & lifted aromas of crisp pear, green apple, pineapple, soft notes of lychee and rose hips and backed with a hint of ginger on finishing. Classic pairings include ginger and garlic Asian dishes, light curries, dark m sum, fresh seafood and the like.
- Rosé is slightly off-dry and very fruit-forward and expressive with a vibrant medley of strawberries, cream candies, grapefruit and zesty raspberries. On the palate, it delivers a juicy & vibrant medley of strawberries & cream, rhubarb and grapefruit with a dash of pepper and splash of pomegranate on the finish. Awesome pairings of include charcuterie, salads, melons and deep-fried pickles.
- Lava Red brings aromas of dark plums, dried figs, glosette raisins and holiday fruit cake. On the palate, this off-dry wine is balanced with soft tannins & mouth-watering flavours of juicy plums, cocoa powder, vanilla bean and sweet baking spices on a smooth finish. Perfect pairings include dark chocolate, honey glazed ham, charcuterie, enchiladas, short ribs and asparagus. And, it is great either chilled or at room temperature.
- Magma Red opens with inviting notes of dark plum and ripe cherry, intertwined with accents of sweet spice, molasses and a touch of fresh mint. The palate provides layers of juicy black fruit that unfolds alongside hints of clove and baking spice. Subtle undertones of leather and cigar box emerge toward the finish, adding depth and complexity. This is a smooth and easy drinking wine, that is enjoyable on its own or paired with comfortable tomato dishes like lasagne, or with pepper-crusted steak topped with blue cheese butter, served with sautéed mushrooms d grilled asparagus and firm aged cheeses.
