Delightful, hand-crafted wines are now available. Beginning with Whites and a Rosé, reds will follow later this year. There will be no mistaking product quality or commitment to customers in our offerings.
Several varieties of both white and red grapes are carefully nurtured in our certified organic vineyard. The wonderfully blended Estate wines are unique and special. Vineyard production is supplemented by grapes from the B.C. Interior. Used for the varietal wines, this supply enables distinct production within coastal B.C.
Entering the first year of production, inspiration is clearly evident. Preliminary tastings indicate that Mistaken Identity will earn early distinction as a quality vineyard and winery.
Abbondante Bianco is our premier estate white. You will find lemon-lime citrus notes in this clean, crisp wine. Soft, cool climate fruits like apple and pear are also prominent in the taste. The nose hints of honeysuckle. This delightful Estate Blend pairs well with Pacific Northwest seafood including crab, shellfish, and grilled fish. It can be enjoyed equally with chicken and pork. We anticipate this wine will be savoured during warm afternoons at our vineyard. accompanied by a plate of local cheese and fresh-baked Salt Spring bread.

The wine has a clean, crisp finish, with a touch of herbs on the dry finish. 87 points." ...John Schreiner, Wine Writer

Varietal characteristics of nectarine and white peach are found in this refreshing wine. Hints of rose petal. Very crisp and clean. The acidity will truly bring forth the varietal character. Try this crisp wine with strong cheeses, appetizers, salmon, pastas or seafood with cream sauces. Also pairs well with chicken.

This soft varietal shows tropical fruits, like mango and papaya up front, followed by lychee nut and spice in the finish. Hints of grapefruit linger in this marvelous Gewurztraminer. Pairs well with fruit or cheese or a light lunch, with foods such as roast turkey or mild curries. Also works very well with spicy Asian food which can include seafood, chicken, pork, beef or vegetarian elements. A strong accompaniment with Sushi.
"Made with Okanagan grapes, this wine has the classic spicy aromas and flavours of this popular variety, along with hints of grapefruit. The wine has just a touch of residual sugar, just enough to elevate the fruitiness. 87 points." ...John Schreiner, Wine Writer

This lively rosé has a unique and abundant nose. Strawberry flavours are dominant. Because this is fermented dry, the non-sweet, slightly tart flavours of rhubarb and cranberry reveal themselves. Presence of rose hips and wild flower. A delicious ‘picnic wine’ that could include Nicoise Salad or all types of salads. Try Quiche or pasta’s with tomato based seafood sauces with this unique and flavourful Rosé.

"If you like the dry rose wines of Provence, this is for you. The wine begins with a lovely rose petal hue and aromas of strawberry. On the palate, there are flavours of rhubarb and cranberry. Again, the bright acidity and the mineral backbone give this wine a tangy, refreshing finish. 88 points." ...John Schreiner, Wine Writer "Well done. The nose is fresh and lively with bits of strawberry/cranberry flavours and a big citrus finish. Dry and tart it grabs your palate and calls for food. Very promising Provence style and certainly on the right track. Where is the picnic. Try with cold meats, salads and pasta in cream sauces. 87 points." ...reviewed by Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe (for gismondionwines.com Wine Reviews)
