Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Planted in 2006 with 3.5 acres Pinot Noir, 1 acre Viognier and 0.5 acre Syrah. This steep sloped vineyard overlooks Okanagan Lake to the east, soaking in the early and midday sun. A hot and dry summer punctuated by a heat dome in the end of June through early July. Conditions contributed to lower yields but also presented a silver lining of low disease pressure and exciting quality of fruit, showing full ripe tannins and vibrant flavours.
Winemaker Notes
48% Whole cluster Pinot Noir, fermented in one-ton vessels with gentle skin contact for 18 days. Pressed to neutral French oak barriques to age for 7 months. Ambient/wild ferment and MLF. Unfined and unfiltered.
Food Pairing Notes
Any tender meat like pork, duck, lamb, or rabbit, braised with rich, earthy, sweet root vegetable.
