Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This fresh and lively 100% Pinot Noir Rosé is medium copper
in colour. Aromas of lilac and strawberry are complemented
on the palate by flavours of rhubarb and white cherry. This
wine has a touch of sweetness which is balanced with a
bright and vibrant acidity making this dry wine the perfect
pairing to a creamy brie cheese or a Caprese salad.
Vineyard Notes
The 2022 vintage arrived from a very challenging 2021
winter with an arctic outflow that lasted for almost 2 weeks.
Fortunately, all of our vineyards escaped the extreme cold
unscathed. The rest of the 2022 winter was seasonal with the
occasional dip in temperature past -8°C. Cool early spring
temperatures led to a bud burst that was 10 – 14 days later
than average and a slow start to the growing season. The cool
weather and above average rainfall persisted through the
entire spring. By the end of June, the weather had turned
around and the typical dry, hot summer weather arrived and
persisted until mid-August. A couple of typical Okanagan
heatwaves came our way in July. Mid-August saw two weeks
of unruly summer storms during which our vineyard on Upper
Bench Road suffered a 15% crop loss due to hail damage.
September was beautiful with +30°C temperatures for the
first two weeks and clear skies throughout. For the last two
weeks of September and the entire month of October the
weather was beautiful with +25°C every day making these
two months perfect for ripening grapes.
Winemaker Notes
This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes which
were hand picked & sorted in the vineyard before
transporting to our crushpad. The winemaking team
treated these red grapes like a white wine, extracting juice
with very minimal skin contact leaving a very light colour.
Fermented cool in stainless steel tank to retain freshness
and preserve aromatics.
Other Notes
