Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Vintage Foch Wine

2008 FORTIFIED VINTAGE FOCH

Winemaker's Notes:

The 2008 Fortified Vintage Foch was made in traditional
Port style using very ripe Marechal Foch grapes harvested in
2008 from Quails’ Gate estate vineyards. The Foch grapes,
picked at an exceptionally ripe stage, were fermented in
stainless steel tanks, then fortified with neutral spirit.
This Port-style wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels
before bottling. The 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 2011, with optimal drinking through to 2015.
