Winery
A Noble Blend is created in the spirit of Edelzwicker or Gentil, a traditional Germanic-varietal blend of the Alsace region of France. The literal translation of Edelzwicker is "a noble blend" from which originates the naming of this white blend. The knowledge that many of the oldest plantings in the Okanagan Valley are Germanic varietals inspired the blending of this wine, this enables the Joie Farm winery to utilize the different characteristics of each variety (or of the same variety from different sites) to achieve natural balance as well as adding greater complexity to the wine. Created out of respect for old-world traditions but in a relatively young, newworld winemaking region this white blend is a wonderful tasting result of the meeting of old and new.
