The Matriarch Series is deeply personal to us and it's more than just a collection of wines, it’s a tribute to the remarkable women who shape our lives, our mothers. These wines honour their legacy, strength, and the love they poured into our families. 'Elizabeth,' a 100% Pinot Noir, is named after my mom while 'Betty,' a 100% Zinfandel, is named after Matt’s mom. With each bottle, we celebrate their stories, their wisdom, and the lasting influence they have on us and generations to come.
Matriarch Series Elizabeth
Named in honour of the Lawrence family matriarch, Elizabeth, this 100% Pinot Noir is a reflection of her grace, strength, and unwavering spirit. Handpicked from her own vineyard on the picturesque Naramata Bench, this wine exudes elegance and balance.
Red fruit takes center stage, with vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and currant creating a lively and expressive profile. Soft, silky tannins provide just the right amount of structure, allowing the fruit and acidity to shine in harmony. The finish is long and refined, a testament to the care and craftsmanship poured into every bottle. Just like its namesake, this wine is poised, graceful, and unforgettable.
Matriarch Series Betty
A tribute to the Mikulic family matriarch, Betty, this wine honours the family’s Croatian heritage with 100% Zinfandel, a varietal that traces its roots back to Croatia. Handpicked from a single vineyard in the rugged Similkameen Valley, this wine mirrors her lasting resilience, revealing strength, elegance, and quiet power in every sip. Like her, it lingers, leaving an impression that endures.
Subtle floral notes on the nose introduce a depth of flavour that unfolds beautifully with each sip. Blackberry and plum lead the palate, creating a rich and luscious foundation. Layers of complex herbal undertones and a delicate touch of spice add intrigue, making this wine a captivating experience. It is a powerful yet refined tribute to a woman whose strength and legacy continue to inspire.
These wines are crafted with the same care and dedication that matriarchs devote to their families, creating something that will be cherished, shared, and remembered.
Raise a glass to the women who shape us, the stories they tell, and the legacies they leave behind. The Matriarch Series is a celebration of their strength, their wisdom, and their love—one sip at a time.
