Sourced from two Naramata Bench vineyards: Artemisia Vineyard (3 Mile Rd) and Maple Leaf Spirits (Naramata Rd). Harvested Oct. 24th at a sugar level of 24.8 Brix – very ripe grapes. Following de-stemming and crush, we cold soaked for 2 days prior to starting fermentation. Pressed after the completion of fermentation 14 days later then aged in a combination of premium American and French oak barrels for 21 months.  Light pepper notes and Cassis (black current) dominate the flavour profile of this vintage. Only 2 barrels produced.
