The natural ferment contributes a lifted, aromatic and complex nose. The palate opens with apple blossom, mandarin, honeycomb, spice and creamy stone fruits yet remains delicate with a long finish of sea salt and graphite.

"The fruit for this wine is from the Border Vista Vineyard which is right against the U.S. border at Osoyoos. Fermentation was entirely with wild yeast. The wine was aged 16 months in French oak (45% new). The wine begins with aromas of stone fruits, orchard blossoms and herbs. Lean on entry, the wine broadens out in the glass. It delivers flavours of Asian pear and green apple, with a salty minerality on the finish."
