Food + Music + LaStellina Wine

Jan 2016

Our little star may not be named after a musical note like our other wines, but it’s just as enjoyable with great food and music that matches its personality. See what we suggest as a pairing below and enjoy!

The Wine: 2015 LaStellina Rosato. A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese. The Cabernet Franc adds some beautiful spice and herbal notes, Sangiovese bring with it those classic bing cherry notes while the Merlot provides a melange of red and dark fruit notes.

The Food: Chickpea “meatballs” with Coconut Curry and Candied Fennel from Erin Ireland’s It’s To Die For website (inspired by Vij’s Restaurant recipe)

The Music: ‘Postcards from Italy‘ by Beirut.

A Thursday evening experiment with our 2018 Moscat

A Thursday evening experiment with our 2018 Moscato D’Osoyoos. Using this wine for cocktails is the gift that keeps on giving! It has a lightness so it doesn’t overpower, but a recognizable presence that compliments other flavours accordingly. Although the Moscato is a delight on its own, don’t be afraid to get playful with it and incorporate other ingredients from your kitchen. The drink pictured has crushed apricot, half a lemon’s worth of juice, and foraged rose petals. Tip: it also makes for an exciting Sangria or Mojito if you’re looking to spice up a classic 🍹Moscato D’Osoyoos is simply a summer essential 🌞

Vibrant chive blossoms spotted on the grounds at LaStella. We’re so grateful to witness how nature provides for us in countless ways, and it’s beautiful to see the diverse array of plants in and around our vineyards! We pride ourselves on our sustainable vineyard work and organic farming practices, and these blossoms are just one of the many treats we get with how we show love to the land. Special tip: chive blossoms are edible and have light onion & garlic flavours that are perfect for cooking or for a fresh, colourful garnish 🌱🍽 #bcwine #okanagan #beautifulbc

2016 Espressivo is a complete wine, pairing the ripe fruit and Bravado of this notable vintage, with silky tannins and balanced acidity.
Blackcurrant, wild berry patch, bramble, herbal scrub and subtle barrel merge in a harmonious and endlessly drinkable red, destined to please.

Pair nicely with Agnello a Scottadito (Grilled Lamb Ribs) or Risotto Con Le Quaglie (Quail Risotto). Espressivo is usually a Wine Club exclusive wine, but we opened it up to you. It's time to get it! 📷 Italian Cuisine: Signature Recipes by Academia Barilla

2019 LaStellina Rosato is very aromatic, fruity, fresh & charming! It’s a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Sangiovese Grosso. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc components were made via the Press Method while the Sangiovese grapes were bled (Saignée method). An important and noteworthy point is that the Merlot and Cabernet Franc portion of the blend was grown exclusively to make a rosé. That means we employ different canopy management techniques to focus on yielding low alcohol, high acid and bright fruit characteristics. It also means that we choose earlier picking dates to emphasize these characteristics and flavours.
Pairs perfectly with a sunny day, BBQ’s, Indian or Asian cuisine.
