Production
The fruit was selected from specifically designated blocks within the estates vineyard in Osoyoos (95%) and Oliver (5%) where the porous soil forces the vines to search for nutrients. This struggle results in elegant and luscious fruit. Following fermentation and extended maceration, this wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
