The principle vineyards for this wine are surrounded by fruit orchards, along the Naramata Bench. The ultimate “terroir” influence—contributing peach, nectarine and apple characteristics. Another warm growing season in 2018 created perfectly ripe fruit, and an average of 2 hours skin contact before draining and pressing the grapes added bright flavor and body to the mid-palate. Slow, cool fermentation preserved and enhanced the intense fruit aromas.
