Winemaker Notes
This vintage was hand-harvested from vineyards in Oliver, BC. The grapes were fermented in 900L batches which allow close monitroing and control resulting in premium flavours. After a gentle press it went on to be aged in French oak for 18 months.
Food Pairing Notes
Cab Franc's higher acidity makes it a delight to pair with tomatoe based dishes such as Spaghetti Bolognese. Lamb is always a great pairing. Gamey meats and earthy wines complement each other well. Herbs and spices can make the pairing even better. Smoky BBQ burgers or mushroom quiche are also great pairings.
