2019 Eclipse Syrah
e·clipse /əˈklips/ Noun
To change or transform from one state to another. 

We are very excited to announce the release of our 2019 Eclipse Syrah. This deep, complex red has been toasting away in French oak for 21 months and we assure you, it was worth the wait.
​

This 100% Naramata Bench Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier skins to echo the classic French style in Côte-Rôtie, a wine-growing region in France's Northern Rhône Valley. The two grape types are planted side by side and create the perfect marriage with good ageability. 

The Viognier gives the Syrah a rounder mouth-feel, deeper colour and silkier mouth-feel while notes of violets and white pepper burst in the palette. Refined and elegant, with a medium body and a luscious lingering finish, try it for yourself and pair it with your favourite BBQ, braised short ribs, lamb and hard cheeses. 

Winemaker’s Note
“We chose the lightly toasted new oak with a tight grain because of the great effects it can have on the Syrah. The tight grain lets out less bold tannins and the light toast preserves the body of the wine. When you age in new oak barrels it can be easy to over-oak a Syrah. If you want to age wine in the barrel you want the oak to compliment the wine, not overpower it, which is what we believe we’ve achieved with our 2019 Eclipse Syrah.”

2019 Equinox malbec
E·quI·NOX
The changing of the seasons in spring and fall. representing the beginning and end of the grape farming seasons.

The much anticipated release of our 2019 Equinox Malbec has arrived and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Malbec is a very flexible grape, it can be big and bold or light and soft. We have decided to go the big and bold route with a blend to represent the hot summer of 2019. 

Toasted in medium French and Hungarian oak for 21 months, this red stunner boasts smoky, meaty notes with lots of spice and is a bold wine bursting with dark fruit and a big mouthfeel. This wine has great potential for ageing and can be delicious tonight with your favourite roasted pork or puttanesca or enjoy in a few years and your palette is sure to thank you. 

Winemaker’s Note
“Blake and I really went through varying phases with different wines and when we got turned on to Malbec we enjoyed drinking vintages from France (harder to find in a single varietal though) as well as vintages from Argentina and Chile. I love the super black, frack flavours and how big and bold it can be. My favourite food pairing is definitely braised pork roast or pasta with rich tomato sauce.”

Rosé All Day

100% SAIGNEE ROSE
​
Saignée means the free run juice that comes from a red grape. No pressing at all, just a light crush and de-stem to release some juice and then it's drawn over to a separate tank to be fermented like a white wine. 

This method creates a light and delicate rose, perfectly finished and dry.

Orange Wine

​We're doing it! If you haven't heard about this type of wine yet it's because it hasn't hit the North American Market until recently. It's been described as a white wine for red wine drinkers. 

It makes a lot of sense because it's actually made with white grapes but fermented and pressed on the skins just like red wine. 

This style of winemaking gives the wine unique savoury notes and even tannins as in red wine. It will be an adventure for your tastebuds. 

​NOTE: SOLD OUT!
