Ursa Major
Ursa Major 2023 Chapter IV: The Wheel of Shame & Appeasement
Sea salt, mandarin orange pith and Meyer lemon shape a vivid, savoury nose. The palate is textured and energetic, layering white pepper, quince, Bartlett pear and fresh yarrow over bright acidity. Saline, citrus-driven and lightly herbal through the finish, it is a compelling match for grilled vegetables, roast chicken or firm fish.
Ursa Major 2023 Chapter V Gamay Vin Gris
Whole-cluster pressed without maceration, this pale Gamay was fermented naturally in neutral barrels and puncheons, then rested on its lees for five months. Volcanic rock, sandy loam and clay at the West Kelowna site frame a precise, lightly textured vin gris. Hand-bottled unfined and unfiltered, it finishes with quiet savoury detail and gentle breadth.
Ursa Major 2017 Sabor a Mi 750 mL
Deep garnet in colour, this opens with blackberry, cassis and dark plum, followed by green herbs, nutmeg and allspice. The palate is dry and finely balanced, with juicy dark fruit set against a subtle saline note and a bright mineral lift. Whole-cluster fermentation lends energy and savoury structure, while neutral oak keeps the fruit clearly in focus. It finishes vibrant and composed, with blackberry, spice and cool mineral detail lingering.
