From the Grower

"The sentiment of this wine is playful, like its origin story. It shows us that collaboration is all around us if we nurture its potential. It’s hard not to let the name influence what we taste as notes of red licorice hit the palate in that first sip. Pop, bang, there is an explosion of fizzy cherry cola, and your senses take a playful romp in the raspberry bush. The earth is gravelly, and the fresh raspberries are harmoniously juicy and tart. The subtle bitterness of cocoa nibs follows with a touch of sweet spice."

About Rigour & Whimsy

Rigour & Whimsy is a boutique winery based in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, owned by husband and wife team Costa & Jody Gavaris. We currently focus on amber or orange wines as well as Gamay and Syrah. The name Rigour & Whimsy is an homage to our shared commitment to seeking balance in ourselves, in our relationships, and in the natural world. Like yin and yang, Rigour and Whimsy are seemingly contrary attitudes that are actually complementary and interdependent. Both are necessary to find balance and harmony. Our approach to wine growing centres on regenerative farming, which means to increase biodiversity, enrich soils, improve watersheds, and enhance ecosystem resilience. We believe that responsible agriculture involves building topsoil and minimizing inputs and disturbances to the rich microbiome of the soil.
