The wine region of Naramata Bench
Prestigious sub-GI of the east shore of Lake Okanagan (British Columbia, 2019): signature Pinot Noir as king red — elegant and fruity with cherry, raspberry, spices and an earthy touch. Rich Merlot complement. Signature Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewürztraminer whites with crisp aromatic profiles. Sandy-silty clay-gravelly soils (granitic glacial deposits), climate moderated by the lake, cool nights preserving acidity.
The wine region of British Columbia
Canada's west-coast benchmark, wine heartland in the Okanagan Valley. Semi-desert continental climate, marked temperature swings: signature Pinot Gris (pear, honey, spice, round palate), fresh, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), precise Chardonnay and taut Riesling in the north. Hot south for dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and peppery Syrah. Also exceptional Icewine (Vidal, Riesling).
The word of the wine: Assemblage (Champagne)
In Champagne, it is the art of blending still wines from different grape varieties (pinot meunier, pinot noir, chardonnay), from different terroirs (villages, areas) and often from different years. The incorporation of older wines, called reserve wines, allows for greater aromatic complexity.
