Deep mulberry in colour. This single vineyard Syrah delivers a complex nose of dark fruit, white pepper, and ripe blueberries. The first sip brings freshly picked blackberries, stewed strawberries, and a hint of smoke. This Osoyoos vineyard Syrah’s soft tannins integrate into a long cocoa-driven finish.
Wine Profile
Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this blend are harvested from both our Naramata and Osoyoos vineyards. Our syrah was
hand picked at optimal ripeness and co-fermented with the Viognier skins to follow the traditional
Rhone method. The viognier skins were utilized to improve palate weight, balance and aromatics. The
blend was fermented at cooler temperatures than other reds to retain aromatics. The blended wine
was then racked in French Oak
barrels for 7 months before bottle aging for 18 months.
