Notes
Winemaker Notes
The fruit was gently de-stemmed via gravity into small open top fermenters and allowed to cold soak. After cold soaking, a mix of indigenous and cultured yeast was employed to carry out a long fermentation peaking at 30C, gentle hand plunging of the must was done throughout. After a post-maceration period the free run wine was transferred to 100% French oak barrels (25% new) where it remained for 11 months with the press wine kept separate. A natural malo-lactic fermentation occurred in late spring.
Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Reimer Estate Vineyard, which is planted in 100% Pinot Noir located in South East Kelowna, British Columbia. The vineyard has a moderately steep northwesterly aspect with the soil comprised of alluvial and windblown deposits making up a silt loam overlaying a gravel loam. The vineyard is planted with a mix of French Pommard and Dijon clones.
