Our Winning Wines From the All Canadian Wine Championships

A judging panel of 11 of the nation’s most meticulous wine experts tested 805 wines from 130 different wineries all across the nation. It awarded only a handful of Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals, and Dirty Laundry is excited to show off the ones that made it through the tough competition.

2017 Bordello

A winner of the Gold Medal of the “Bordeaux Style Blends Over $30” category, Dirty Laundry’s 2017 Bordello is a blend of Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. With a rich mouthfeel and elegant tannins, it boasts savory notes of vanilla and black liquorice, while the aroma suggests hints of cocoa and sage.

For a truly golden experience, try 2017 Bordello with aged rib eye or a bison tenderloin. The judges don’t lie when they consider this bottle one of the best Bordeaux-style blends.  Buy Now >

2019 Hush Rosé

The All Canadian Wine Championships awarded Hush with a Gold Medal in the Rosé, Blush, and Blanc de Noir category. In addition, Michael Pinkus (The Grape Guy) rated Hush as the top still Rosé in his annual Rosé report of more than 180 Rosés from all over the world.

Sourced from vineyards located at our Summerland Winery, Hush displays notes of strawberries and grapefruit. A crowd-pleasing blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, and Pinot Gris, this wine pairs well with spinach salad, strawberries, or smoked salmon. Buy Now >

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

Dirty Laundry’s Cabernet Sauvignon won Silver in the “Cabernet Sauvignon Under $30” category. The grapes in this wine were picked at optimum ripeness levels, and were fermented in French and American oak for 18 months. Bursting with rich dark fruits and velvety tannins, this award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon pairs best with game meat and venison. Buy Now >

2018 Reserve Chardonnay

Sourced from our Summerland winery vineyards, the 2018 Reserve Chardonnay was a Bronze finisher at this year’s awards. Bright acidity resting on a smooth backbone, our winemaker barrel ages this wine in French Oak for 9 months. 

An incredibly versatile wine for food pairing, wine and food lovers will enjoy this bottle with a sharp aged cheese or a rich and creamy seafood pasta. Buy Now >

2018 Sauvignon Blanc

Yet another winning varietal, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc’s refreshing palate that is bursting with tropical fruit and citrus notes has earned the brand a Bronze award. A great example of a BC-style Sauvignon Blanc, wine lovers will appreciate the balance of herbaceous—yet tropical notes on this wine, which pairs well with goat cheese, oysters, and lemon. Buy Now >
