Fruity, dry, juicy.
Made entirely from Syrah grown in the Amalia Vineyards in Osoyoos, the 2020 was hand-harvested, sorted, destemmed and pressed immediately; minimizing maceration time as much as possible.The pale juice was transferred into a stainless steel tank, where it was cold settled for 48 hours, and then racked, warmed and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The ferment was kept cool (under 13C) in order to maximize aromatic expression.
This light peachy-pink version has a distinct fruit punch nose; fuzzy peaches, candied orange peel and Rainier cherries along with a whiff of peonies. The palate is juicy and dry, slick and nicely woven with a nice edge to it. Faint spice and orange peel trail flavours on a mouthwatering finish.
