On the Black Sage Bench in Oliver BC, vintner and family farmer Gina Fernandes Harfman combines her passion for winemaking with her family’s four generations of experience farming the South Okanagan terroir, to put forth a small lot lineup of wines that perfectly exemplify their vintage. At her woman-owned and run Nostalgia Wines, Gina invites you to make moments with what she has captured in the bottle and create tomorrow’s memories.
Our off-dry Kerner is like sunshine in a glass with notes of honeyed pear, lime and ginger spice.
Do you know Kerner? She’s part of the Riesling family. Although Kerner makes up less than 1% of BC’s total grapevine plantings, at Nostalgia Wines we grow more Kerner in our home vineyard than any other grape, making Kerner our top seller! We love Kerner, and know you will too.
Kerner is happy by herself or alongside dishes with exotic flavours — especially when served with a squeeze of lime. Try with fish tacos or Pad Thai.
Let Viognier’s exotic allure carry you away with each sip.
Her tropical perfume of apricot, mango, pineapple, mandarin and peach is intoxicating. On the palate, this rich, full white reflects the intense heat of 2021. The lingering, concentrated finish of candied peaches and mangoes is part of her lasting charm.
We love Viognier with sushi, scallops, or Chicken a l’Orange.
Elegance abounds with this pale pink rosé. Close your eyes and allow waves of rose water, passionfruit, strawberry and papaya to wash over your senses.
Try this crisp wine with Arctic char, prosciutto, or a bubble bath.
The bold, bright nose of this seductive Merlot is the warmest welcome of our home vineyard, planted in 2006.
Dark cherries, ripe plums, cocoa, caramel, baking spices and toasty oak complexity draw you in, and the wine pours over your palate with a round, rich intensity balanced by fresh acidity and firm tannins.
This well structured Merlot will love hard, aged cheese. It also begs to be paired with a hearty protein dish, such as roast beef or lamb.
