Intersection Winery Tasting

26/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Straight from the Golden Mile, Intersection Winery is joining us in April to offer a taste of their small-lot wines. Founded in 2009 and producing just 3,000 cases of wine per year, Intersection farms a 10-acre vineyard planted at high density on Oliver’s Golden Mile. Grapevine varieties are matched to the varying slope, aspect and soil composition to allow even ripening and honest expression of fruit flavors and aromas. The vineyard is cultivated with natural, sustainable, and organic farming techniques.

Proprietor Bruce Schmidt has been involved in the BC wine industry for nearly forty years, and is happy to meet us and present his wines. Apart from the sold-out Merlot Rose, we'll get the opportunity to try the entire Intersection portfolio, including the limited inaugural Axiom red blend and the ultra-rare and Club-exclusive Appassimento (Amarone-style) Merlot:
  • Viognier
  • Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
  • Reserve Viognier-Marsanne
  • Riesling
  • Alluvia Merlot
  • Silica Merlot
  • Cabernet Franc
  • Axiom
  • Appassimento
Late last year the Axiom​ was highly-ranked in last year's "Judgement of BC" tasting and fared better than many international reds from Bordeaux and beyond (including some local big-wigs). The Riesling received a Double Gold Medal at the 2017 Cascadia Wine Competition, and the Viognier-Marsanne was named Judge's Choice at the 2018 Vancouver International Wine Festival Vintner's Brunch - so this winery clearly excels across styles and varieties!
