Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Fruit forward, with generous notes of juicy red fruit, blueberry, smoke, vanilla, and cherries. The wine is well structured with silky tannins and a smooth mouthfeel. This full bodied blend boasts a lasting finish with hints of coffee and vanilla.
Production Notes
All the grapes were picked at perfect maturity, carefully crushed, and sent to stainless steel tanks to cold soak for 48 hours. The tanks were then warmed and the must was fermented with specially selected yeast for 10 days. The tanks were turned over to mix the skins and juice three times daily in order to extract colour and flavour. The wine was then gently pressed and completed malolactic fermentation before bottling.

Deep ruby red, the nose shows black cherry, blackberry, peppers, mocha, cedar, herbs, sous bois and graphite. Refreshing black cherry and spice on the finish. Decant before serving and enjoy with grilled pork tenderloin. Tasted May 2022. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
