Tasting Notes: This fruit-forward wine opens with inviting aromas of blackberry, plum, and cocoa, layered with notes of ripe strawberry, soft toffee, and subtle hints of vanilla and oak. The palate is rich and expressive, revealing vibrant flavours of raspberry jam and anise, supported by firm, well-structured tannins. Smooth and approachable, yet bold enough to satisfy lovers of full-bodied reds, this wine delivers a beautifully balanced finish.Farm Notes: All hand picked estate fruit sitting on the East side of Osoyoos Lake with sunny South West exposures and amazing terroir. Thoughtfully farmed with a commitment to sustainability.Maker Notes: PRESSING Berries were destemmed and the skins gently broken, followed by pump-overs to achieve a gentle extraction of flavour and colour.
FERMENTATION Stainless steel and oak barrels for 10 monthsFood Pairing Notes: Pairs beautifully with grilled sausages, herb-seasoned pork dishes, and roasted vegetables. For a Portuguese flair, Bifanas (marinated pork sandwiches), where the wine's ripe fruit and firm tannins beautifully complement the savoury, smoky flavours.
