Signature is our flagship blend of red Bordeaux varieties, produced by hand, and aged for 16 months in French oak barrels. The 2020 vintage was an ideal growing season in the Similkameen Valley characterized by hot, dry days, cool nights, and an elongated ripening season through the autumn period, and the results show in the glass.
Tasting Notes: The taster is presented with a delicate nose of pencil shavings, raspberry compote, cedar and blackberry. The aromas are fresh and enticing. On the palate the wine is layered with beautifully integrated flavours of ripe berries, predominantly raspberry and blackberry, notes of cherry and fig, subtle winter-spices, all followed by a long mineral-flecked finish bringing to mind wet stones, graphite and forest undergrowth. The structure is full, with polished but mouth-filling tannins and a long lingering finish.
Enjoyable in its youth, the balance and structure of this wine will ensure its ability to age for many years.
Recommended food pairings: Pair the Signature boldly, steak au poivre, beef wellington, Alberta grass-fed bison served with spring onions and a bacon sabayon, or try an herb crusted grilled tenderloin in a red-wine reduction.
Winemaking Notes: Our winemaking philosophy is to treat our grapes gently and with respect, in order to produce complex, age worthy wines that showcase the very best expression of the Similkameen Valley terroir. Each vineyard block was harvested separately, by hand, when judged to be at optimal maturity. The grapes were then gently destemmed, crushed, and fermented in concrete tanks following a moderate cold-soak. The wines were fermented using only native wild yeasts to reinforce terroir expression. After a gentle pressing the wines were aged for 16 months in 100% French oak barrels. Only the barrels showing the greatest complexity, depth and elegance were selected for our Signature blend. Simplicity and a light hand in the winery have allowed us to deliver a wine which speaks of the beauty of our land.
