Five different vineyard sites, five different locations,
each an expression of their soil and mesoclimate.

At CheckMate, everything is tended to by hand:
All the canopy management,
leaf-pulling and cluster-thinning is done manually
to ensure precision and gentleness.

New World Chardonnay & Merlot, with Old World Elegance

Gift Box supplied with purchases of three bottles

Handfinished Gift Packaging

The groundhog emerged yesterday and did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring again this year.
We could not think of a better way to celebrate this fact with the release of these new vintages of Chardonnay and Merlot.
These wines are a celebration of our South Okanagan terroir and a beautiful example of our commitment to excellence in every step of the process.

Please note these limited wines are only available while quantities last.

2014 CheckMate Fool’s Mate Chardonnay

“The Okanagan Valley in British Columbia is shaping up nicely as a vinicultural region. Fool’s Mate is right up there with some of the best French whites, akin to Meursault, its generous toasty flavour giving way to a warm, nutty finish.”
