| Vinification The 2008 growing season began late due to a cool spring but July and August presented higher temperatures allowing for steady photosynthesis resulting in excellent sugar accumulation. A moderate September and October arrested sugar development permitting the grapes to mature and develop their great Okanagan flavours. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Winemaking This luscious blend consists of Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Gewürztraminer. It was 100% stainless steel cold fermented for 15 days. Our winemaker performed an extended cold soak on the skins in order to produce Nelly's rich and dazzling colour. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Aroma / Bouquet / Nose The See Ya Later Ranch series of wines was created in the spirit of Major Hugh Fraser, the ranch's original owner and first to plant grapes on Hawthorne Mountain. Named in honour of one of Major Hugh Fraser's playful pups; Nelly is a wine brimming with aromas of raspberries, cherries and a hint of watermelon. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Food and Wine Pairing A picnic favourite! Enjoy Nelly with seasoned chicken, a fresh fruit and berry salad and assorted local cheeses. Nelly will also enhance many fine deli meats including Prosciutto, Duck or a spiced Paté. Bask in the appealing blend of flavours produced by our Okanagan grapes with a summer picnic and a cool glass of our refreshing Nelly! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
