Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Experience the warming aromas and flavors of rich black fruit and spice layered with chocolate, while sinking into a warm relaxation.
Vineyard Notes
Marechal Foch grown on Vancouver Island, berry is small and intense with quality highly dependent upon vine age, this grape came from the oldest vines on the Island.
Winemaker Notes
Marechal Foch was selected at perfect balance and ripeness. Destemmed and whole fruit into open-top fermenters. Gentle punch downs twice a day during fermentation until reaching a perfect flavour profile with a little residual sugar left, the fermentation is ceased by pressing the grapes off of their skins and fortifying the wine. Moved into neutral french oak. The fortification is local from Shelter Point Distillery. We have chosen the use of Canadian whiskey to add depth and complexity to this Porto Style wine. Left aging in oak, we only bottle a barrel at a time to allow the wine to age.

Love this wine. Bought two bottles two years ago and opened the first tonight to sip on after surgery and was very impressed. Sad that you are sold out, I want a Case. Let me know when the next batch is released.
