Vineyard Notes
An early harvest marked the 2014 vintage in the Okanagan, starting on September
2nd. As the harvest progressed with warmer than normal overnight temperatures
in late September and early October we saw a slight delay in development but
by mid-October, cool nights set in and brought things back on track, delivering
very clean fruit with exceptional varietal character across all varieties and sites.
The 2014 harvest brought in higher than anticipated crop levels with most of the
increases coming from white varieties as well as Pinot Noir and Merlot. All grapes
were in house by November 11th.
Production Notes
The 2014 Icewine harvest was November 11-12th 2014 with ideal temperatures of
-10C to -12C. The grapes were machine harvested in the early hours of morning
and the frozen grapes were basket pressed. Fermentation was carried out by a
select yeast, known to enhance varietal character.
Food Pairing Notes
White chocolate cream cake, BBQ peaches, spicy almonds, blue cheese, and select hard cheeses.
