| 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 2008 Jimmy My Pal, our SPCA Fundraising wine, is 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Gris and a new component of 30% Semillon. All the fruit is separately fermented in stainless steel tanks with the Pinot Gris receiving an 8 hour cold soak in the press. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Aroma / Bouquet / Nose Jimmy My Pal is rich in stone fruit, melon and pear notes. The palette is enjoyably soft, full and approachable. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Food and Wine Pairing 2008 Jimmy My Pal is versatile with a weight and ability to be paired with lots of different foods. It is also a great sipping wine for those occasions when you are romping around with your friends or in the mood for chasing a ball. | |||||||||||||||||||||
