Wine Profile
Production Notes
Spring began cooler-than-usual but warm and dry conditions prevailed providing the ideal growing and ripening weather for another typically great Okanagan vintage. Crush commenced on September 15th, was marked by warmer-than-normal temperatures and picking was largely unhurried, steady and slightly longer-than-usual, finally wrapping up on November 10th. Careful vine management, tight pruning regimes and irrigation control came to the fore in allowing the estate-grown fruit to reach excellent maturation levels and optimal phenolic ripeness. The whites are aromatic and elegant and the reds have superior structure with excellent balance and character.
