The Vancouver Sun - Anthony Gismondi: Weekend Wine Pick of Sept 13 - Moon Curser Broad Daylight 2024

Moon Curser Broad Daylight 2024, Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada 

"...Broad Daylight is a new, dangerous and delicious label from Moon Curser. Dangerous because it could have ended up as a kitchen sink wine, but delicious because it didn’t. It is a vibrant white blend comprising 69 per cent Pinot Gris, 14 per cent Muscat, 11 per cent Viognier, and 6 per cent Arneis...."

Globe & Mail - 90pts Roussanne Marsanne '24 "Seven wines to enjoy in the dog days of August"

Christopher Waters gives 90pts to Moon Curser Roussanne Marsanne 2024 in Globe & Mail

Rating: 90

"One of the few white wines produced in the Okanagan in the 2024 vintage, this is made with roussanne (69 per cent) and marsanne (31 per cent) grapes grown in vineyards in Osoyoos that survived the January cold snap. A mixture of tank and barrel fermentation and aging results in a rich white wine that offers peach and citrus fruit with some floral and honey notes. Enjoyable now, this promises to gain more honeyed and complex flavours with age."
