Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Vintage Foch Wine
2007 FORTIFIED VINTAGE FOCH
Winemakers Notes:
The 2007 FVF was made in traditional Port style using very ripe Marechal Foch grapes harvested in 2007 from Quails’ Gate estate vineyards. The Foch grapes, picked at an exceptionally ripe stage, were fermented in stainless steel tanks, then fortified with neutral spirits. This Port-style wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels before bottling. The new label reflects the Stewart Family’s legacy, and is a tribute to their Grandfather “Poppa Dick”.
Tasting Notes:
Our FVF possesses aromas of coffee, mocha and dark chocolate, mingling with dark fruits and complex Foch notes. A rich round palate with residual fruit sweetness and fine grain tannins make this a great after dinner crowd pleaser. Enjoy as is, or pair it with stronger cheeses and rich chocolate desserts. This wine will benefit from bottle aging; we suggest cellaring to 2010, with optimal drinking through to 2014.
