Quails Gate Okanagan Kelowna Old Vines Foch Wine

2006 OLD VINES FOCH RESERVE

Winemakers Notes:

The wine is made with fruit from over 40 year old vines that Richard Stewart Jr. planted at Quails’ Gate Estate vineyard. Marechal Foch is an early ripening grape that is harvested at the beginning of October. A French hybrid with very small compact berries, it combines Old and New World wine styles with bright intense dark fruit and complex earthy notes. Fermented with vigorous French yeast strains and matured in spicy new American oak barrels, this wine will reward careful cellaring of up to 5 years.

Tasting Notes:

Flavoursome and uniquely Quails’ Gate, this cult classic displays brooding dark berry fruit that mingle with chocolate mocha aromas. Look for spicy, smoky, toasted oak notes with a gamey edge. Plush ripe tannins linger in the background while the palate remains full with rich sweet and sour notes and a powerful finish. Excellent with Bison and dark chocolate or try it with coffee grilled beef tenderloin with golden beet and blue cheese puree.
