Wine in Okanagan Falls

Riesling: with its mouthwatering acidity, a hint of sweetness, and moderate alcohol levels, can be the ultimate example of balance in wine. It is therefore extremely flexible when it comes to pairing with a wide range of foods. The balance between sugar and acid also allows Riesling to support delicious aromas and flavours of citrus and tropical fruit, flowers, and spice. The greatest mouth-watering examples I know originate in Germany, and it was Germans who brought the first Riesling to the Okanagan Valley. We make this wine in a Spätlese style; off-dry enough to keep it mouth-wateringly juicy. It is our goal each vintage to increase the flavour intensity in this case using 40 year-old vines and six months of lees contact in order to create a wine of great complexity that will be long-lived.

Cabernet flavours are most evident on the nose, with red bell pepper, currants, cedar and mint, but the palate is where all of the other grapes from the blend come together seamlessly, each bringing a crucial component to the final wine. Plenty of dark, dusty cocoa and espresso flavours contribute to a good earthy backbone, while blackberries, black Kalamata olives, prunes and currants provide healthy fruit character. An Okanagan dusty sage element adds another layer of complexity, which becomes a slight minty element on the long, beautiful, chocolaty finish. Drink now with a premium cut of steak.

Straw yellow colour and beautiful clarity. The nose is very youthful and jumps out with banana and papaya. Honey and lemon mingle with pear and honeydew melon. The palate is focused and precise, with more refreshing citrus-driven acidity than in 2016. Tropical fruit in the mid-palate and crisp lingering finish. This wine screams for shellfish.

The puzzling complexity of terroir, oak ageing, vintages and those ridiculous descriptors is just too much.

Harvested on October10, 2018 with a brix level of 24.4, the grapes were locally grown and harvested 100% from Jack Lewko’s Vineyard located at the end of Therapy Vineyards driveway. The fruit was hand sorted to remove any unwanted clusters and debris before being whole cluster pressed. After the gentle pressing cycle the must was sent to stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation. Utilizing a single yeast strain this batch of wine has a very distinct profile coming from the terroir of Jack Lewko’s property creating an impressive wine. The must were cold fermented between 16-18 degrees, to help bring forward and develop a fruit driven profile. After alcoholic fermentation was complete the wines were chilled to -2 for cold stabilization, and treated with a bentonite fining to provide heat stability. The wine was then left in stainless steel vessels to age and mature, which allowed the wine time to harmonize and settle before bottling on April 13, 2018.
