Elegant, savory, and beautifully structured, this Pinot Noir opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, raspberry, forest floor, and earthy mushroom.

Mouthwatering acidity and finely integrated tannins create exceptional balance, while a long, graceful finish highlights the purity and finesse of cool-climate Okanagan Pinot Noir.

Sourced from vineyards located north of Oliver and southeast of Osoyoos, this Pinot Noir is grown on sandy loam and gravel soils that contribute to its finesse and mineral character. Hand-harvested in September 2020, the wine was crafted using a combination of traditional and minimal-intervention techniques, including 50% cold fermentation with organic yeast and 50% native wild fermentation. Following full malolactic conversion, the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak (80% neutral, 20% new) before being bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve texture, purity, and site expression.
Alcohol: 13.5%
Food Pairing Suggestions
Pairs beautifully with duck breast, roasted pork loin, mushroom risotto, and cedar-planked salmon. Its earthy complexity also complements roast chicken, pasta dishes, charcuterie, and classic comfort foods such as beef bourguignon. A versatile Pinot Noir equally suited to weeknight dinners and special occasions.
