Release Date: May 26, 2023

What it is

A barrel-aged blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Pinot Noir

Where it was grown
Arrowleaf Estate Vineyard and Ritchie Vineyard
BC VQA Okanagan Valley – Lake Country

When it was grown
2021 was one of the hottest and driest years on record in British Columbia. The early part of summer brought the highest temperatures ever recorded in the Okanagan followed by prolonged drought that lasted well into the fall. This resulted in a smaller than average crop of very ripe, concentrated grapes. Harvest started in early September and was finished by mid October. All in all, it was an extreme growing season that has created the potential of some truly unique wines.

How it was made
The Merlot and Pinot Noir components were harvested and fermented separately. The Merlot was given a short maceration time of 7 days to keep the tannin levels moderately low. It was combined with very ripe Pinot Noir from Ritchie vineyard and aged for 12 months in Eastern European and American oak.   

How it tastes
Aromas of blackberry, eucalyptus, plum and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied on the palate with moderate acidity, ample fruit concentration and well integrated oak and tannins on the finish. 🌱Vegan Wine
