Osoyoos

Ripe plum and dark cherry give the palate a generous core, balanced by fresh acidity and a lightly savoury edge. Partial whole-cluster fermentation adds lift, while twelve days on skins and seven months in neutral barrel build supple texture without overt oak. Unfined and unfiltered, it finishes smoothly with measured structure.

Plum, green peppercorn, ripe raspberry, fennel seed, cherry, pomegranate, vanilla and cedar shape the profile. The wine is medium-bodied, with balanced acidity, soft tannins and a juicy impression; the finish is long and silky. Carménère comes from the Home and Stubbs vineyards on the Osoyoos East Bench. Hand-picked clusters are sorted in the vineyard and destemmed. Fermentation takes place at low temperature, and maturation uses French oak barriques, about one quarter new.

Dark red in colour, with black fruit, blackcurrant, dark cherry, herbs, spice, stewed plum, mint, pepper and leather. The texture is firm, with fresh acidity and well-managed tannins. Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon comes from an east-facing Osoyoos vineyard with gravel, light-coloured sand and heavy soil. Fermentation lasts twenty-four days. Natural malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak, and maturation lasts twelve to eighteen months in French oak.

Dark fruit leads with a smooth, savoury character and a silky feel from the first sip. The palate builds through generous, fleshy intensity, while measured French oak gives the fruit shape and polish rather than heaviness. Rich yet composed, it has the depth for grilled lamb, pepper-crusted beef, braised short ribs, roasted mushrooms or aged hard cheese, with a long, confident finish.

Fresh red fruit and green herbs meet in a bright, savoury profile. The palate is dry and energetic rather than jammy, with whole-berry fermentation preserving lift and three weeks on skins adding gentle structure. Five months in seasoned French oak rounds the texture, carrying the herbaceous fruit into a composed finish.
