Else Wines 2022 Merlot
$43.99
Fruity and juicy, the wine blends eighty-five percent Merlot with fifteen percent Pinot Blanc. The grapes spend seven days on skins and ferment with wild yeast. Maturation takes place in stainless steel, and minimal sulphites are added. Alcohol is twelve-point-four percent. Pinot Blanc was included after organic Merlot became unusually expensive for this release, helping keep the finished bottle accessible.

About Else Wines
Else Wines is Kelsey Rufiange’s experimental project at her family’s Echo Bay Vineyard above Skaha Lake near Okanagan Falls. She studied viticulture and oenology at Lincoln University in New Zealand in 2013, then worked harvests in New Zealand, Australia and the United States before returning home.
For Else, she sources fruit from other growers to explore different grapes and styles, from pét-nat and skin-contact wines to light reds and unusual blends. Native-yeast fermentation, minimal handling and limited sulphur additions are recurring choices in her cellar.
