 Dark red in the glass, its legs cascade slowly due to its concentration and power. Possessing aromas of licorice, dark fruits and vanilla, this theme carries through on the palate with loads of rich sweet fruit all wrapped in a chalky, ripe tannin’s persistence and structure to support the concentration of flavour. A wine that boldly showcases the beauty of blending two varieties that match like hand and glove, delivering a memorable wine with loads of personality.

19 CRIMES turned criminals into colonists. Upon conviction, British rogues guilty of those crimes were sentenced to Australia rather than death. This punishment by “transportation” began in 1788, and many of the lawless died at sea. The rough-hewn prisoners who reached Australia lived in servitude under the lash. Pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country, and new lives, brick by brick. This Shiraz Durif celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.

Summerhill Ehrenfelser
This favourite is back again! Lovingly known as “The Hot Tub Wine,” Ehrenfelser is Summerhill’s best-selling wine! The rare Ehrenfelser grape produces a luxurious texture and wildly delicious layers of tropical flavours and aromas. This celebrated rare grape variety thrives in the Okanagan.

Summerhill ages, barrels and finishes wines in a geometrically precise Pyramid. Built with no ferrous metals, no electricity in the chamber, and aligned to True North, the Pyramid is the wine’s temple. This aging period is the final step in the production process when the wine (which is alive, by the way) recovers from bottle shock and is infused with the music of the spheres. The Pyramid connects us to the unseen world of pure form, and to things surpassing the intellect’s understanding.
