As a wine Gamay is lighter-bodied and paler than most reds. Vivacious aromas of freshly picked red fruits with hints of spice and toasted oak on the finish. Pair with thin-crust pizza, turkey or pasta dishes.

This wine comes from our Similkameen Vineyard in Cawston and Reece Road Vineyard in Westbank. The 2008 season started off with nice warm weather early in the spring, which was followed by a cooler period through mid-May, which in turn gave way to the nice hot summer we are accustomed to in the Okanagan. The warmth allowed the grapes to fully ripen. A cooler September helped develop good fruit flavours and acidity. The grapes were hand-harvested on October 15th.

The berries were gently whole-cluster pressed preserving the cherry and candy floss characteristics. This light-bodied wine underwent oak-ageing in used French oak barrels for 6 months, which gives the wine some spice and vanilla notes.

"A nice everyday wine with aromas of cherry, cranberry and slightly spicy notes. Good acidity creates a smooth finish."
