Ursa Major Cab Franc Vin Gris
$46.99
Born, raised, and handmade with love on the Black Sage Bench in the South Okanagan Valley. Ursa Major is the passion project of Rajen Toor, who was born and grew up in his family's vineyard. The project began as a conversion to organic growing, sustainable cellar practices, and the open mind to experiment and play with the varietals that they have been growing for 26 years. The rose - made from Cabernet Franc- is grown on Sagebrush Vineyard, nestled up against the mountains on the southeast side of Black Sage Rd. Deep sand with a wide gravel bar that runs down the hillside to the bottom of the sloping vineyard. Planted in 2004, his vineyard has been in organic transition for 4 years now, with a focus on soil regeneration and building organic matter. Hand harvested on September 13th. The fruit was whole-bunch direct pressed to stainless steel, where it fermented with ambient yeasts over the course of 2 months. The wine was then racked to neutral barrels and puncheons with full solids. It went through natural malolactic in barrel and rested on full lees for 6 months before bottling, unfined and unfiltered.

Mihovi Estate Rose
$25.99
This rose from the Struma Valley in Bulgaria is made from a blend of Broad-Leaved Melnik and Melnik 55. Melnik 55 - aka Early Melnik - is a hybrid created in 1963 by crossing the indigenous Broad-leaved Melnik with French grapes Durif, Jurançon, Valdiguié and Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a grape that ripens earlier than Broad-Leaved Melnik but maintains similar characteristics.
Mihovi Family Estate Winery resides in the Struma Valley region of Bulgaria, near the border with Macedonia to the west and Greece to the South. Mihovi is operated by father and son Stefan and Petar Mihov.
While not as well known in the Western world as France, Italy or Greece, Bulgaria has a wine-making history dating back over 4000 years to the time of the Thracians. That is slowly changing as the country fosters more ties with the European Union, allowing international trade to further develop and get the word out on how good Bulgarian wine can be.
