VINEYARD NOTES
This wine was made from grapes grown exclusively on the Naramata Bench. They were sourced from the Fleet Road - Tightrope Estate vineyard, as well as the vineyards of the Flaherty, Madsen, Riccio, & Rubis families. The grapes were handpicked and processed the same day.
WINEMAKER NOTES
The grapes were whole cluster pressed and cold settled for three days before being racked off solids. The juice was cool temperature fermented at 14 ⁰C in stainless steel and took about 30 days to complete. The fermentation was stopped with a small amount of residual sugar for balance.
