A moderate September and October arrested sugar development premitting the grapes to mature and develop their great Okanagan flavours

The Pinot Noir was whole cluster pressed to impart intense fruit character from the juice while adding no colour or astringent tannins from the skins. This wine was fermented in stainless steel containers for three weeks.
