Zweigelt Rosé 'Artist' Naramata Bench 2025
It’s bone-dry, with refreshing, crisp acidity, and boisterous fruit that exudes the Okanagan spring.
“2025 marks a reset for this BC label, which debuted last year following the winter deep freeze. It is a brilliant, high-quality everyday rosé to enjoy in the sunshine, around the pool, on the patio, and even at the dinner table. It has a pink-orange hue and delivers flavours of cherries and red berries. The textures are soft, the fruit ripe and inviting, and the acidity perfectly balanced. You can't go wrong.”
Anthony Gismondi, Gismondi on WineTasting Notes
This rosé pours a stunning pale salmon colour, with juicy, morning-crisp red berries, led by rainier cherry and wild strawberry, that are lifted by rose petal aromatics and peppery spice. It’s bone-dry, with refreshing, crisp acidity, and boisterous fruit that exudes the Okanagan spring.
Food Pairing
Smoked salmon eggs Benedict, chilled prawn cocktail, salade niçoise.
Terroir
On the southern edge of the Naramata Bench, this vineyard overlooks the city of Penticton and Okanagan Lake.

The gentle westward slope at the base of Campbell Mountain ensures good drainage and ideal exposure.
