Mostly unoaked, a small proportion (15%) is part aged for 22 months in a few new but mostly older oak barrels to bring depth and subtle notes of complexity.A delicious accompaniment to grilled meats, heart-warming casseroles or a classic shepherd’s pie.

Tasting Notes: I know I'm choosing another premixed old fashioned but I just tried this one and WOWZA it packs a punch. It's sitting at 40% ABV and has delicious baking spices, cherry, citrus and vanilla flavours. The bottle claims to serve 3 cocktails and it sure does. This is the perfect little bottle if you're going to social distance in a friend's backyard. Cheers!

Tasting Notes: Moraine Riesling is entirely Naramata Bench fruit, of which nearly half is estate grown clone 49. It’s all whole bunch pressed and wild fermented in three batches over four weeks, six weeks, and nine weeks at very cool temperatures (under 13C). The result is a juicy, fresh white with a lot of tension pushing off the fruit sugars in one direction and the citrus acidity in the other. It’s a mineral, stony, citrus affair you could serve with a favourite curry.
