AboutDaydreamer
Daydreamer Wines is Rachel and Marcus Ansems’ small, family-owned winery on British Columbia’s Naramata Bench. Marcus is a second-generation winemaker raised in Australia and a Master of Wine, while Rachel brings experience in wine retail and marketing. The family avoids systemic treatments in the vineyard. They hand-pick their grapes, use basket presses and gravity in the cellar, and work with little new oak or added sulphur.

Syrah and Viognier are co-fermented in a ninety-ten blend from mature vines on decomposed granite at the Naramata Bench. The west-facing site is farmed without systemic pesticides or herbicides. Primary fermentation takes place in small open-top vats, followed by basket pressing and eleven months in French oak barriques. Bottling occurs below fifty parts per million total sulphur, with 13.5 percent alcohol, pH 3.95 and 6.2 grams per litre total acidity.
