tart red fruit, earth, 

1st vintage for this new side project of woman winemaker Anne Sery

Her impressive resume includes Hyland Estates, NW Wine Co (they make the infamous "L'umami" Pinot Noir), Kudos and Westmount wineries.

Tasting Notes: Vibrant and expressive, with
aromas of juicy black cherry, brambly spice,
and cola. The palate is bright and layered with
fresh Bing cherry, cassis, and a touch of earth,

 A juicy core and fine tannins carry
through to a lively, lingering finish.

farming/cellar: 

The Gamay Noir was hand-
harvested and 100% destemmed to highlight the

purity of fruit and varietal expression.
Fermentation occurred in small stainless steel
fermenters using a mix of native and cultured
yeasts. Gentle pump overs were employed
during fermentation to promote balanced
extraction. Averaging 18 days on skins, the wine
was gently pressed and aged for 8 months in a
mix of concrete and stainless steel vessels,
where it underwent full malolactic
fermentation.
