2008 Old Vines Gamay Noir

Tasting notes

Raspberry and cedar notes highlight the aroma while the palate delivers a fine silky texture.

Food pairings

With an elegance worthy of its heritage, this Gamay pairs well with grilled salmon, seared duck or roast pork dishes.

Awards

Silver Medal, North West Wine Summit, 2010 Think of a Beaujolais Cru, perhaps a Fleurie. This wine’s aroma of cherries and strawberries explodes from the glass. On the palate, it is juicy and appealing, with cherry and raspberry flavours. The texture is smooth and the finish is long. 91 points - John Schreiner

Winemaking

Planted in 1984, our Gamay Noir vines are some of the oldest in the Okanagan Valley. Barrel aged for 8 months, this wine is made in a Burgundian-style, resulting in a medium bodied, fruit forward wine.
